Players that your club turned down or gave away

[Luv_our_club]

Hawthorn:
G. Ablett Snr - thus also Jnr
J. Leppitsch - played U/19s
A. Lynch - we had a choice of 3 Tasmanian players
We almost got 17 year old J. Brown - we got cold feet and took D. Loates
Josh Kennedy
McPharlin (we had little choice)
We should have drafted J. Selwood...

And many others

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Diesel Williams. Billy Goggin didn’t want the club to pay him the extra cash he asked for, thinking he’d cave and re-sign.

Pissed off to sydney, won a Brownlow, moved to Carlton, won a Brownlow then won* a flag against us. Well done Bill.

 

[Apex36]

Tony Lockett. Collingwood board wouldn’t approve the trade and he nicked off to Sydney to become the all time greatest goal kicker...

 

[Topkent]

Martin Pike, didn't do much after he left us.

Scott Thompson, in an era where we struggled for leadership it would have been great if he stuck around with Nathan Jones.

Tom Scully- Beady eyed little campaigner.

 

[iBeng]

Suns and Dayne Zorko.

 

[RUNVS]

Can't think of anyone. Nope, no massive utensil ups

 

[Luv_our_club]

Geelong and every AFL player who ever played for the Falcons.

1. J. Worpel

Suns and Dayne Zorko.

Suns and Lyons

Elliott Yeo
Peter Bell
Andrew Mcleod

 

[raymond35]

Imagine Hawthorns late 80s team if they didn't let Gary Ablett and Darren Millane go.

 

[Rustyrich]

Josh Jenkins was one I thought would be valuable had they stuck with him and not trade. He was pretty good considering he mostly played basketball

 

[WillHayward]

Can't think of anyone. Nope, no massive utensil ups

Tim Membrey would be handy...

 

[Scorpus]

Kurt Tippett

Even cost us some draft picks

 

[tonk]

Wayne Carey...............nuff said

 

[Warhorse]

Geelong and every AFL player who ever played for the Falcons.

1. J. Worpel

I don't think you understand the premise of this thread

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Jarryd Lyons. That applies to the Suns too.

 

[Liam Boy]

Wayne Carey...............nuff said

don't forget your current coach

 

[jooce8891]

carlton turned away dunstall iirc

 

[hoianbulldog]

We took Griffen before Buddy. Griffen was good but..........

 

[hoianbulldog]

And we gave away, Gary Dempsey, Burnie Quinlan, Kelvin Templeton and that guy who went to Carlton.

 

[FISTO]

Billie Smedts

 

[Old M8]

We turned down Corey Enright in the Brad Ottens trade back in 2004.

Believe the offer was pick 16 & Enright, or pick 12 & 16.

Danny Meyer (pick 12) and Adam Pattinson (pick 16) were quite the draft prize.

 

[Cotchins Hair Piece]

Geelong and every AFL player who ever played for the Falcons.

1. J. Worpel

Teia Miles?

 

[Wallaby]

We took Griffen before Buddy. Griffen was good but..........

Ha Ha Ha!! You idiots!!!! That must be the worst draft stuff-up in the history of the competition!!!!!!





What?

 

[HairyO]

Imagine Hawthorns late 80s team if they didn't let Gary Ablett and Darren Millane go.

We wouldnt have won flags. Ablett was toxic.

Selwood is the interesting one. Would he have accepted unders to stay through our flags ?
