Autopsy Round 9, 2024 : Hawks slap the Saints

[FB19]

You’re right. Kane Cornes was wrong on footy classified last night then!

Yes correct. Weddle used all our own picks we used dogs 2nd that came from the meek omeara trade for ginnivan plus swaps.

Using it to help get Ginni across was still a massive win

I think Battle stood out more than Hill

Battle hs been mentioned a number of times in the past as a potential trade or FA target. He impressed me as a talent but perhaps we have enough of his type.

Does anyone know if he has indicated he wants to come to Hawthorn - that might make a difference to my thinking.

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Watched the last quarter Massimo was huge. What a recruit.

Really sneaks into everything, very fast with his disposals

Good pressure and tackles too.

 

[Freomaniac]

He's our #1 ruck right now.

Omeara seems like a nice dude but he is playing well below his career averages stat wise

Meek on the otherhand is smokin his career averages

fair to say we won that trade but fremantles 2 games ahead of us. Looking forward to Meek Vs Darcy

I will say this though. And this is no disrespect to the Hawks or Meek.

Meeks career averages has risen rapidly is because he has been bulked up and developed. Plus he has been given consistent game time.

I knew once Meek was traded to another club, he was gonna be getting a chance to be decent. Again it has happened more often than people think.

There has been many ruckmen that will play like 15-20 games over a 2-5 year period, goes to a 2nd club and becomes decent. Jono Griffin, Sam Jacobs and Rob Warnock are fine examples.

Saying that Meek Just turned 26 years old. So he has a few good years left in him.

Marc Pittonet is another example - performing well with Carlton after quite a few years on our list when he could not get a regular game.
