Haven't been paying much attention to the trades today, can anyone fill me in on what awful, club-destroying trades the Hawfies have managed to make today? I assume O'Meara is a Hawk by now, and Essendon haven't gotten in his ear about walking to the PSD.
Lewis to the Dees for pick 66 and O'Meara likely to Essendon

So the Hawfs have already thrown away two second-round picks and a first-round pick for a guy who's about to snub them for the team that won the wooden spoon this year.

You can't make this shit up. :D
Yes you can; you're making it up.

LOL this was a piss weak attempt at deflection.

"AFL quizzes Hawthorn for a second time over Vickery deal"

Note: Second time

All clubs have to do this first and foremost and never get called in for a second meeting. That means there is a possible problem that needs clarification.

But lol try again.
That was all the real information in the article. The rest was speculation about clubs questioning the trade or a typo on Hawthorn's twitter account.

Wait, are you fellas telling me O'Meara still hasn't signed with the Hawks? Didn't they just sell the farm for pick 10?


Oh well, guess they can take it to the draft...:oops::thumbsu:
They might still get him. But they lose either way.

And to think, we can survive a negative thingo, whatever you're talking about, and still win the flag next year.
That remains to be seen. You couldn't win the flag this year with the sweetest draw of all time and a bought team.

Bought teams don't win flags straight away.
Precisely why Geelong should not have invested, what with Enright, Bartel, Kersten, Vardy, Clark, all likely on the way out, Mackie, Lonergan, Taylor continuing to cook and Selwood and Hawkins pushing 30.

Either way Geelong loses. You either get a cooked Bartel holding back the development of Stephen Wells' shitty picks, or the overrated Bartel finally retires and you don't even get Pick 88.
If Bartel goes around again he'll spend most of next year plodding around in the magoos. They may give him the odd charity game against bottom 4 teams.

Yeah, because the team we had in 2015 was looking really promising. :rolleyes:

You definitely had to rebuild, but going all out with Dangerfield/Henderson/Selwood/Smith had to pay off immediately with the retirement of Enright, the cooking of your backline, the imminent retirement of the overrated Bartel, the moving out of Kersten and Vardy, and the likely retirement of Clark. Would've been better to invest in some youth, or purchase some young stars.

Wouldn't it be great if we could all predict the future.

Enright retiring makes no difference, Thurlow is a more than capable replacement. The rest of the backline looks good for one more year.

Kersten and Vardy are no loss either. If they weren't best 22 this year, they sure wouldn't be next year. Vardy and Clark played one game each for the entire season, so we're not impacted at all by them leaving. Clark could well play on though, he had some pretty rotten luck this year and was unlucky to only get one opportunity. Could add something in 2017, but we're not relying on him to do so.

LOL. Your opinion is wrong.

Kersten certainly is, considering the lack of variety and depth in the Geelong forward line. Your second best key forward, in your top half dozen goalkickers again this year.

Vardy and Clark played one game each for the entire season, so we're not impacted at all by them leaving.
Vardy and Clark are a bit of depth, which is also important to some extent.
