Well now I'm getting pretty sick of this. So Jono O'Rouke has also chosen Hawks as preferred club. So a team with more depth then anyone else has in the last 2 weeks got themselves a back to back premiership, an all Australian Full back and potentially a former top 2 draft pick.

This destination club shit is going to kill us

I got this sorted.

Any half decent WA kid we should give a contract to stating should they come home to WA we will give them $100,000. Let them go and experience the Eastern side of Australia and after 2-3 years they can come back with $100,000 in their back pocket.

Obviously this is all done winky wink style, with secret hand shakes, but something needs to be done and seeing as I'm out of legit ways... corruption is the new purple!

Think of the message it sends to the rest of the playing group in particular the younger guys pushing hard for selection and endeavoring to maintain consistency.

Was just reading the phantom form guide.

There is plenty around pick 12 to give us something decent to develop.

Its our second rounder and third rounder which would be nice to upgrade.

I'm curious to see what GWS ask of them now that pick 19 is their best pick.

Seriously how is Sydney allowed to have this academy and select players ahead of their pick?

Heeny is touted as top 3 and Sydney get him as their pick 17?

This is a joke.

if they're going to have this academy they should be forced to only pick from this pool or compensate the team that bid the highest for him.

Some of the rules in the AFL are a joke.

The team that finishes 2nd gets a number 3 player, just because.

This annoys me more then watching Harry O's speech!!!

Just reading into it more, seems we bid on Hiscox also, but Sydney nabbed him with their second rounder and they also got another player.

What a joke. Why bother having a draft if they can just pick players from their own pool.

I think your point is that Hawthorn can force an undervalue trade from GWS because GWS will have to settle for it or get nothing from him as he walks to St Kilda in the PSD?
Yep unless the kid say's I will go to St Kilda if you can't get a fair trade done with the Hawks. i hope he shows a little bit of integrity. GWS haven't done anything wrong in this scenario (that I know of). And the Hawks have a habit of getting a lot for nothing, at other peoples expense.

A seasoned premiership player will do them lots of good actually. Exactly what they needed.

That being said, they'll ask for something unrealistic and stupid, like Hill + pick 19. Nevermind they have lots of young talents and seriously lacking onfield leadership.

Perhaps they will go looking for a pick, could we pry Hill back to WA for our first and then they send their two first rounders to GWS for the pick #2 from two years ago?
