In other news, Hawthorn's arguable starting 22 for 2013 consists of the following:

Gibson
Burgoyne
Guerra
Gunston
Hale
Gilham
Lake

(lack of) culture.

Doubt Gilham will get much of a look-in now.

Hawks have done well out of this- it fills the major hole on the ground for them, and they still manage to have a decent pick. Is notable, though, that pick 27 is now their only pick in the first 59.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

They don't have to worry about competing against Hawthorn for a premiership.

They might have just given Hawthorn one though. Boo.

Although you could argue that they lost the GF because of their forwardline, rather than the back.

 

[FedEXFalls]

Why the heck did they give them pick 27 as well... **** me dead

Hope we smash the dogs next year for this.

 

[lemon chicken]

The Lake trade is a real worry, clears out a chunck of cap space and gives them 4 picks before their activated compo pick which surely they wont be passing on come draft day. Must be a part 2 to this.

 

[DaSawx]

Meh, still gonna be an even comp.

How can a team be given a premiership when one bad day and you're out of the finals.

 

[Zach Package]

i reckon its a win win trade, apparently the hawks are taking in lake's whole salary, which is massive for the dogs if true. Hawks get their key defender, but i question whether lake is really the answer, he loves to run off his man and attack, can he still play a proper shutdown role?

 

[FedEXFalls]

Don't mess with these tough lads

Seriously who thought it would look good for them to pose like this. I want this photographer named and shamed.

After they made this photo their facebook dp's they rode their scooters to the milkbar and pinched a lighter.

The kid IS tough though. Neeld, not so sure

 

[FedEXFalls]

No beard no tough

the clouds look cool,,,

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Nothing says Bad Mother****** more than being decked out in Melbourne Football Club gear.

Shit just got real at AAMI Park the Melbourne Cricket Ground wherever their base of operations is.

 

[Doss]

Viney certainly looks like a solid unit for a kid his age!

 

[Lord Nicholson]

That's foreshortening!

 

[yaco55]

Need to have a go at the Western Bulldogs - Went all year with young tall forwards - slaughter to the lambs - Should have played Lake forward as he would have shielded the young forwards,as he would always get the number one defender - Trade Lake out for peanuts - And he is a contracted player - Tom lee is sitting there waiting to be grabbed - Would help their young forwards - They allow StKilda to grab Lee - I suppose the Bulldogs have a plan.

 

[Slattery_20]

They've given away pick 27 though, it's an absolute farce. Hawthorn have essentially got Lake for free*.

*And pick 41.

For a guy who's 31 by round 1 next year.
As it stands, Hawks' first 2 picks will be 27 & 61.


A full year older than when we got Mal, and he gave us about one good year. I think Dogs have made out like bandits.

 

[Howard Moon]

hmmmm Neeld comes out and says Viney is JUST the player they need in their situation.... but 2 days ago they were not going to waste a high single digit pick on him when the suns were keen....

it seems more like a win/win of sorts.... where the hawks are positioned in their 'window' they may only need 1 good year out of him to get their premiership! They may have sold the farm to get it but a flags a flag, its why we are all in this business

 

[Howard Moon]

carltons offseason so far...

whats goin on over there.. what are they cooking?

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Something duplicitous and nasty, I'm sure.

Not buying that they won't be doing anything, especially when you consider that a lack of trade week/draft activity was a component of what saw Ratten crucified.

 

[Howard Moon]

ok ok.. i'll get to some trades, right after I finish my book

 

[Howard Moon]

See the paper says that we and the Dogs are keen on Koby Stevens but neither of us wll pay more than a 3rd rounder.

Wonder if the dogs new cache of picks will change that?

or pick 48 from us?

 

[Lord Nicholson]

If we really dig him, and if the depth of the draft is overstated as has been reported, why not downgrade 32?

Because he's shit.



*i know you said if, but its still a point worth making
