Well if that's the list it's not a concern at all. Buddy left hawthorn, beams to lions, Ablett to GC, Thomas to blues, etc. I don't see an issue with it.
I want(ed) him, but not expensive AND coming of two years playing no footy (at AFL level)...
As long as the trade is fair l'm 110% in favour of it. I for one are completely over him sitting in the stands in his tracksuit. If it's fair he's all yours. BTW do you guys have tanning salons out that way he'll need one now.
And when he breaks up with his girlfriend and gets sick of the terrible weather, overpopulation and 2 hour drive to a decent beach tell him to suck it up.

Sure, Burgoyne has 4.

Anyone see Jon Ralph report that essendon met with jaegers management today? Odd, can't see him getting to us myself. Just can't picture the PSD scenario occurring
Crows finished above us last season, take out Danger and there's not a great difference talent wise between the lists.
We gave up Walker, Jensen and a 3rd Rd pick for Smith who was on the outs at GC anyway. It was a big risk considering his injury history.
Leaving: Henderson, Tippett, Gunston, Lake, McEnvoy and Frawley. For every one of them there's an Ablett, Beams, Christensen, Thomas, Jetta and *insert plethora of youngsters who have left GWS here* who have gone to teams much further away from contending.
Jetta? That alone blows your point out of the water.
I'm sure his Premeirship medallions will cheer him up.
Spoken like a truly arrogant Hawks supporter
Let's see how the Hawks list holds up over the next few years as the Hawks stars (and absolute legends such as Mitchell, Hodge, Burgoyne, Lewis) retire. Will be kinda like the Aussie cricket team when Warne etc moved on.

You forgot the part where a Toumpas touch leads to a turnover.

What's a fair price for someone you don't expect to play?

Adam Cooney is retiring this year. He might have been an even better player, but for the knee injury.
"O'Meara looks a little proppy jogging back to the centre square. Let's hope it's only a knock"
The injury is very rare Chris Knights from Richmond did it in May 2013 and his was only a bad tear O'mera had a complete rupture. He played one more game after that and had to retire at 28.
Here is a bit of a history of it from footywire in September 2015,
"Scans have confirmed that retiring Richmond forward Chris Knights will need a knee reconstruction after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament at training.
It's the other knee to the one that dramatically collapsed on him in round seven, 2013, in just his fifth game as a Tiger.
From that day on, the former Crow has battled problems with the knee and soft tissue injuries, and has only been able to play one AFL game since.
Knights made his AFL return in round three this season against the Brisbane Lions but broke down with a hamstring injury that needed surgery and cost him 10 weeks.
He has been in and out of the VFL since, with a quad injury interrupting his ability to string games together."

Plenty of Melbourne clubs are abysmally managed, but they don't have to fight the lure of returning home to family for 80% of their playing list
