If you guys are talking about Bonar then yes he has done a couple of ACLs already.I think he actually has done 2 ACLs, both before the age of 18, IIRC

No, he hasn't
Hailebury boy who's best mates with Jackson Ross.....
Because things were so quiet up until a week ago (re Greenwood) that is who I think Clarko has his eye on. When everyone is looking at someone you just know Clarko has his eye on someone else. Greenwood definitely fills a need but I really hope that we are in the market for Brodie too. That kid could be apart of our next premiership whereas others like Jenkins would just be keeping the bed warm.

Mate he'd done the same knee twice before even being drafted:

I'm also pretty sure he also did the same knee again after being drafted however it may have been a separate injury he sustained.
While agree prior to his unfortunate and injury concerns he appeared to be something special - hence being touted as a possible Number 1 Pick before he was cut down by injury, it would be a massive risk by any club to trade for him.
If it was for something like an exchange of 5th Round Selections then perhaps we should be looking into it otherwise it'd probably be negligent to give anything of value for him.
Anyway I guess we'll all find out soon enough if there's any substance to the rumours.
I’d rather add guys who could be part of our next flagI am assuming you would not be thinking these options, and they would be pure options at this stage, we’re not the only additions to the List.
The integrity and grit of Greenwood appeals.

We should not be on the lookout for top-ups with the state of our list
I’m not interested in being competitive but realistically no chance of winning a flag

Just look at NorthI wish I could like this post more than once pal.
I certainly did with Hale (and very happy I got that wrong)I suppose you said the same about Gibson, Hale etc at the time.
I say again and again !!!! We would be wanting to add a package of players, at least 12-14players over the next two-three years, some depth and role players included. The blokes mentioned would not be the sole players added. You do understand that ???
And I stress, blokes like Bonar and Greenwood who could be very fine players, are only rumour at this stage. Rumour !!!!
I was really critical of the Hale trade. Thought he was an outright dud living off the reputation of a single game.I suppose you said the same about Gibson, Hale etc at the time.

Was hoping he’d pick Melbourne when he left North and it came down to us or Dees
Gibson I was stoked with (used to towel up Bud regularly)
There is 1 huge difference between when we picked up these players around 2011, 2012 to our side in 2019............
2011, 2012 we had the nucleus of a fantastic side, and just needed to tweak the list
No way in hell you can say the same now!
Not so sure about this.2011, 2012 we had the nucleus of a fantastic side, and just needed to tweak the list

Just look at North
Adding Polec, Hall, Tyson etc has done nothing when everyone said they’d be big improvers
Same with Essendon
Same with Carlton
Same with Port
AbsolutelyIn no way I am suggesting that. Let’s just wait and see the package.
Not saying Jenkins is this guy - but we need a big body to share the load with Mitch Lewis. Doesn't matter if they lack talent as long as play the bowling ball role well. Or, if they don't, that they have enough talent to draw a defender away from Lewis.Absolutely
Due to the state of our list, my wish is to only trade in guys who we think will have at least 6 years at Hawthorn
Guys like Impey, Scrimshaw, Wingard are perfect examples
Scully can also, but if not is ok due to only using a very late pick to get him
I don’t see the point in chasing Jenkins, Ellis Yeolman, Casboult, etc types, but I’m just a Proud, Passionate Paid up Member!
Calm downDid you read my reply ??????? Did you understand what I said ?????? It really is a waste of time saying anything here.
Agree, but I’d like that guy to be around more than 2 years tooNot saying Jenkins is this guy - but we need a big body to share the load with Mitch Lewis.

Bit of devils advocate, as I do tend to agree with what you're saying...Just look at North

Bonar, I’d like. Ellis-Yolman I’d like. Both differing ages & offering different things.What about, should it be true, blokes like Greenwood, Bonar, Brodie. They are examples of a different age bracket, talented young blokes you hope we could improve in our system. Stress, these are all rumours at this stage.
More and more and more Scrims !!!!
I am sure we have a long list.
