I'm not saying they are but "gun" and "jet" have been thrown around when he's done nothing yet. He's an upgrade on Mackay with potential - that's all.
No one is saying he is going to be a champion or a direct replacement for Danger. He has buckets of potential and upside..people just get tired of so called supporters taking a 'dump' on something we would like to get excited about and a little hope...

I saw the same article, and was thinking who wrote this shut. VB and kerridge keepers, are u serious. People keep going on about one game where kerridge kicked six. U can't live of that yr whole career. The guy is useless in traffic and like vb burns the ball continuously that's why he doesn't get game. Jaensch on the other hand was playing a career best yr up until his injury and Shaw we need for defensive depth where we r thin if a tall goes down yet they were put in trade column. These writers have no idea. How they get employment baffles me....typical corporate crap
Bone had the entire list bar about 3 players as untouchables a couple of years back. Some clueless 'experts' around.

Where does he fit?

FF: Betts - Jenkins - Cameron
HF: Lynch - Walker - Douglas
C: Crouch jn - Sn - Knight
HB: Smith - Hartigan - Lever
FB: Laird - Talia - Brown
Ruck: Jacobs - Thompson - Sloane

Interchange: Henderson - CEY - O'Brien - Lyons

Guess he could find a spot in the interchange bench but thats no guarantee he will play 22 games as we have a few other trades in the pipeline.
Menzel and Crouch on the bench. Smith and Anderson wing. Hampton hb

Yes but none that would have significantly affected his fitness base. He could have played more games but Hawthorn chose not to pick him. I don't think he's played any great AFL games out of the 10 he's played.

I'm not saying we shouldn't trade him in if he chooses us, I'm just saying he's nothing to jizz about yet.

Surely we'd be high up the list of preferred destinations though considering he'd play 22 games just by being better than a complete spud.
Not disagreeing or arguing a point or anything here, but for those talking about the subject, bear in mind that the kid spend close to 4 months bed-written and couldn't do a thing. He lost a lot of weight and his fitness levels would have obviously gone to shit also. For an already skinny kid, this wasn't great and in his first ever game back from that pneumonia he ended up subluxing his shoulder...

2015 he had a few hamstring niggles during the pre-season and they surfaced again early on in the season. Hawks decided to take a very, very cautious approach with him here.

Couldn't break back into a very settled 22 in the second half of the year. Was actually in contention to be selected for the first final against Eagles, but Hawks decided not to.

Trust me, it was most certainly not Anderson footballing ability keeping him out of this Hawks side.

Carlton are making an art of trading in all of GWS' average young players.

They really are the old man of the AFL. "What's that? GWS will win how many premierships one day? Sign them all up! I don't care who, just whoever wants to come!"
