Hawks Declare Hand for Trade Week

[thatswhatimtalkinabout]

IMO he is an awesome player and would add to any team, our window is well and truely open, lets not overfocus on kids, lets get another flag

Leaving his price tag to one side - lets face it no-one knows what he will be paid so media speculation is exactly that.

We must get ROK to our club. Pick 16 and one of Boyle, Dowler, Taylor, Mcglynn will get him to Hawthorn.

Draft Picks are completely over rated.

We picked up Cam Stokes in the Rooky draft and he was unlucky not to be a premiership Player and there are plenty of other examples.

Conversely, Dowler, pick 6, has been in the System for 3 years for absolutely zero result and there is no gurantee he'll even make the grade.

Brennan was a pick 10 for next to nothing result.

Getting 50-100 games out of an All Australian /absolute gun/ nightmare match up would be a priority over picks & fringe players.

What we pay him is irrelevent and so are the players and picks we trade for him...we know what we're getting with ROK there is no speculation...a bird in the hand......

This is a brutal industry - another flag awaits us next year and we want the best players available NEXT YEAR.

ROK is good to go for 50-100 quality games in a Hawk jumper and quite possibly 3 premiership games included in that.

These two responses remind me of the old adage of the young bull and the old bull.

You see, the young bull and the old bull are overlooking the fields and the young bull spots the cows.

Excitedly he says to the old bull "Hey old bull - if we run down there we might be able to have sex with one of those cows!"

The old bull looks at the young bull and says "If we walk down we can have sex with all of them."

Jesus people, let's all just take a deep breath.

For 3 years we have trusted guys like Dicker, Kennett, Clarkson, Pelchen, Dunstall, Russell etc etc who have built our club up from a laughing stock to a premiership side.

They took Roughead and Franklin and not Tambling and at the time were lampooned by all and sundry as idiots from many supporters of our club.

Clarkson took a punt on a fat S.Dew - again, people laughed, some got angry - yet he proved to be a big part of our premiership side - no pun intended.

These men know their stuff.

The majority of us on here no sweet FA.

Let's just continue to trust these people who have given us so much.

Que sera sera.
