It was reported on the news today that the Eagles have refused to consider giving up COx or Gardiner for Chick.

Well done Eagles. Hawthorn will bend. They are losing CHick and will not want to lose him for nothing.

And now there is this ridiculous speculation in an article written by Caroline Wilson, that St. Kilda is eyeing Michael Gardiner in a so called "complicated swap", to replace Peter Everitt who is leaving the club. Why in the world would Gardiner leave a successful club like the Eagles to go to St. Kilda, the perpetual near the bottom of the ladder club ?

Yep were playing hardball because we know we hold all the cards. Simple as that, funny how some Hawk supporters seem to believe that they are in the best position??

Unfortunately I can see some credibility in this - Eagles would in all likelyhood end up with Chick & one of Hawthorn's ruckmen. St. Kilda would get Gardiner, & Hawthorn would get Everitt & a high draft pick.

Eagles Gain - Chick & either Campbell or Loats (would prefer Thompson)
Eagles Loss - Gardiner

St. Kilda Gain - Gardiner
St. Kilda Loss - Everitt & High draft pick (possibly no.1 depending on Carltons punishment)

Hawthorn Gain - Everitt & High draft pick (possibly no.1)
Hawthorn Loss - Chick & either Campbell or Loats

While I wouldn't like to see this happen, it is a trade that could work for everybody.
 
If you guys don't want chick then why keep writing about him ?

As you can see there are other ruck options around.

In any case saw gardiner in action on BB&B on ch7 and he is a sycho. Makes everitt look like an oxford don. Keep him, goes well with the matera boys.

Perhaps Saints would see Loats as a better prospect than Gardiner.

"sycho" try psycho. I think you make Everitt look like an Oxford Don.

By all means St. Kilda take Loats. :D :D

Oh make no mistake we want him, its just he isnt worth giving up one of our young ruckman for. Hawthorn is overestimating his worth, he wants to go, he will go or sit out a year, so the Hawks are the team with the rough end of the pineapple. We dont NEED him, but we do want him. Hawthorn can either deal or have a discontented player or no player at all.

Yup.

Reading some of these other posters (babycakes :rolleyes: ) simply dont have a clue when it comes to trading.

Give up Gardiner for Chick?

Gardiner is worth more than 2 Chicks.

Play hardball Hawthorn, you wont get Gardiner, you are simply dreaming.

I'm a bit lost here. How do Hawthorn gain Everitt and the no 1 pick for a guy who wants to leave and a bloke who can't play?

Looks like it works for Hawthorn and that's about it IMO.

Ouch - Thick Skull.
Cmon Carly you know I'm all for keeping Gardiner, and Cox. I was the one blowing Cox's horn earlier when everyone wanted to trade him.

I was just throwing some idea's into the ring, based on Carolyn Wilsons garbage in the Age.

Hmmmm - maybe my skull is a bit thick though (don't need that helmet afterall)

OK - your forgiven. Maybe you can rub some moisturizer into my thick bald skull to make up.

;) :D :D
 
We'd still like Chick - if it's for the right trade. The club has stated that Cox and Gardiner aren't going anywhere - so thats out.

As for choosing between Loats and Gardiner, I'd say Mark Seeby would be a better ruckman than Loats!

I've had a look at Loats profile and didn't realise he has been on the Hawks list since 1999. Only played 4 games and didn't even make the Box Hill Hawks Premiership side this year. He has good size, but based on his progress after 4 years you would think he isn't up to AFL level. Robert Campbell looks a more likely type.

I'd probably stick with Seaby though after looking more closely. 22nd pick in a quality draft obviously means the Eagles rate him highly. What size is he? - I can't find his profile on AFL.com.

AFL.com is crap. You need to get down to a West Perth WAFL game. He's very tall but hasn't yet filled out physically. Good pace and has played seniors this year without obvious injury problems. I wouldn't expect AFL till the year after next though.

:D - I know AFL.com is crap, but I'm in Melbourne and can't see him in the WAFL.

Very tall = 200cm+ ??

Saw a WAFL game with West Perth last weekend. Wasn't sure if there were any West Perth players out there though. :D

Sorry, couldn't resist

He'd be aroundthe 200cm mark, very agile too. Not strong enough for AFL yet.

He looks a bit like Cox did when he first came into the side.
