Hadlee from Lions

Any thoughts on this bloke...I'm pretty sure he's uncontracted, although haven't heard any talk about him in the last couple of days.

Although he's spent a couple of seasons on the sideline with injury, he always struck me as a hard working, very courageous ball winner....from the voss mould.

Might be a bit risky, but he could be a handy pick in PSD to bolster our midfield.

Would definitely consider that one. Very good player!

Is he the guy who has had 2 knee recos?

 

[aic-poppy]

Yep.

 

[Blue_4_Life]

Yep that's the guy, a couple of knee recos doesn't help!

He'll be 24 come season 2007, so still pretty young.

He managed to keep his spot in arguably one of the best teams ever when they won the flag in 2003.

2 yrs off isn't ideal, but certain skills can't be taught - and this guy is hard at it and we need ball winners.

2 knee reco's. Not worth the risk

Its not so much the "risk"......re-injury rates pretty low these days. Its more that his pace might be affected......but if he's an in and under thats not as much of an issue.
With loads of quality mids coming through our current list (including the likely crop from this years draft), I think we have higher priorities (KPP backmen) IMO.

Yeah pass.

Better than Polak!

Just about every player had a injury duing their early career prior to afl

 

[Warwick]

Hadley by the way. He is one of my favourite players so i hope he stays. I don't think there are too many dramas, the paper just had one line (with his name spelt incorrectly) about 2 weeks ago. It also said Bradshaw was going.

I am shocked the lion's only offered a year (if true). But i doubt he would go after we kept him on our list for 2 years with him not playing a game.
