Hawthorn announces list changes

[its game on]

So Hawthorn has 9 departures and 2 arrivals, plus one elevation. That's six spots, presuming Croad is now an outside veteran (he wasn't a veteran before was he?) that gives 7 main list spots?

Nah mate, Walsh and Kiel were rookies, so 5 picks in the ND.

For someone with that much talent he must have a bad case of Fevola-itis if no-one was prepared to trade for him.

Pelchen probably was asking for a 1st rounder, I suppose.

How sure are we that nobody wanted to trade for him? Was nobody interested, or did they just run out of time to do a deal?

Hawthorn's trade week was overwhelmingly dominated by negotiations over the Burgoyne deal. Other than that, they only got 2 deals done - the Gibson deal was the first to go through and was presumably agreed prior to the beginning of trade week, the McGlynn/Kennedy deal was very minor with only a handful of late draft picks changing hands. Presumably the asking price for Thorp would have been a little higher, complicating things just enough to prevent things getting worked out before time expired.

Then again, I could be entirely wrong.

FWIW, Hawthorn will now have 5 selections in the ND/PSD and 4 in the RD.

I have some friends at Hawthorn and the post by the Collingwood fan earlier in this thread pretty much sums it up.

Wouldn't touch him.

Surely being given the boot would dent the ego a touch?

Up to Hardwick - if he reckons he's worth it (and he should know) then a player of his stature and talent should be worth us targeting him in the PSD, where we'd probably get him

Back onto Thorpe, I have an ex team mate who plays for Box Hill. He obviously knows Thorpe and said he always spoke about himself in the highest light. To quote what he said.... in similar words "He's an uphimself w***er and all the players hate him for it"

seems to be common knowledge he wasn't a favorite at the club.

Have never heard a good word spoken about this bloke, anyone who comes into contact with him reckons he's a massive w***er.

I hope he comes nowhere near Geelong.
