Hello Geelong and Sydney. Thanks for developing Simpkin for us. Regards, Hawthorn.

[Hodgepodge]

Our new recruit is going at 28 disposals a game in non-sub games this year.

Your development dollars have gone to good use.

.

Cheers .

HP, I do always try to support you on the Bay, but whilst Simpkin has been handy, it's a little premature to be be posting this isn't it?

(of course continue with the anti-Bartel daily posts at your convenience)

Ah fek it...

Simpkin >>>>>>>> Bartel

Really?
You really want to talk up a Geelong reject who has now become your best midfielder?
Are you deliberately self trolling?

inb4 Ablett & Kennedy

Absolutely. Especially when you kept Jackson Sheringham instead ROFL.

getting big numbers against juggernauts like GC and GWS

you are welcome to have our discards, just ask the Bulldogs how they go long-term

^^^^ This bloke gets it.

The Gold Coast game was hotly contested. He was also a supersub in the other two games this year.

you are welcome to have our discards

Geelong preferred to give Gillies away for nothing to Melbourne rather than give him to Hawthorn for Pick 33. So it seems we're not welcome at all. Someone over there is seething.

Btw, we used that Pick 33 on Brad Hill, which was fortunate.

The fact that a Geelong reject makes the Hawks best 22 indicates that Geelong should be 1.20 for the flag.... or does this belong in that other thread.

Cringeworthy.

If you hang around the back door looking for scraps this year we will have a replacement for Buddy.

Would make any team's 22 on current form.

OP's disposal average comes from GC/GWS games..

Nothing special there. Scraping the bottom of the ageing barrel.

 

[ChappyUK]

No worries. There's more where that came from.

Yup, they're the games where he wasn't the sub. The Gold Coast game was a tight tussle, so the possessions can be counted just like any other game.

Doesn't count as he hasn't done it over a full season.

 

[Hodgepodge]

He's done it more times than the overrated Bartel this season. You should've just given us Jimmy lol.

 

[Baby Duck]

He fits in with quite nicely with the rest of your C Grade mids.

 

[Blood Bath]

No worries, mate. Cheers for giving us Kennedy and McGlynn.

 

[themarkedman72]

bit premature but he is playing some super footy against the easy beats

Would you rate Bartel if he was a Hawk?

I misread that as "scraping the bottom of an aging Bartel"

Which kinda makes sense for a thread started by Hodgepodge

 

[Hodgepodge]

Would you rate Bartel if he was a Hawk?

I'd expect him to be picked in our first 22. Beyond that, it changes week to week.

 

[Biggy_Boy]

We seem to be doing pretty well without him. I doubt he would've even found a spot in our side this year.

I guess it says a lot about Hawthorn's own development program and current midfield when one of our rejects becomes on of their best players, though. No wonder you can't beat us, no standards.
