Roughie didn't look right during the finals - was this form, injury or not happy with Clarkson. Worth enquiring, because Hawks may be looking to use Bailey/Hale as ruck/forwards around Buddy & Gunstan.. & may be looking to strengthen their backline.
I feel by the time finals came around, his body was ready for a break. He didn't have a pre season due to his achilles tendon injury in 2011 and I think physically he'd had enough.

Give him a pre season and he will be fine. He was moving fine but couldn't sustain it for long periods of time.

Apparently Buddy will be a free agent at the end of next year. I say only bring in picks this year or players on smaller contracts then give the remaining 1mil beween our current players for a year. With over a mill banked in the salary cap, make a huge offer to Buddy next year. Get in his managers ear right now :D. I can dream :thumbsu:

If we got Roughie I would like to see him as a defender.

He can play both ends so that is a bonus if any of Shaw/Hendo/LT or Otten command that third KPD role.

Hawthorn offered us Roughead for pick 10 many moons ago..

The only way Roughead would possibly consider leaving Hawthorn is being annoyed at how poor his financial situation is compared to Tippett's. And as he plays for Hawthorn, who never seem to have salary cap issues, that would be unlikely.

If a deal looked likely with Roughead, I would get the worlds best doctors to check him out.... Hawthorn are the masters of unloading damaged goods... That achilles? He is a big lad.. I worry about his pace as he gets older

Not sure if Buddy wants to play here. I think he'll stay at the Hawks.

We'd still be getting reamed in that trade. Bootsma is terrible.
he's gonna be a star! Bootsma!!! I agree with Mark roo-shoot-toe. The tippo is on the verge of being a mega star or mediocre star. The figures being thrown around are mind boggling considering the years he's had. Either way, good luck with the trade. !

I can see it now; after a year of being hassled by the media Franklin decides to return home to get away from it all, but ends up in SA with the highest bidder. Sounds eerily familiar somehow.o_O

I wonder how Hawthorn were going to fit him in if they had won the flag?
Lets grab Lachie Hanson (apparently on the trade table as they cannot agree on a new contract) & Gumbleton
Surely 1 of them would turn out alright and fill one of our Key position
they will come cheap too...prob a 2nd or 3rd round will do the job.
If we somehow grab gibbs from the tippett trade ( I really cant see it happening but just dreaming)
we will have the 1st 3 picks from the 2006 draft which was supposed to be a super draft!

Essendon learnt this the hard way with Mark Williams. Who was the other that ended up at North Melbourne?

Haven't seen to much of Bootsma, but what I have seen has been good, plus he was drafted with big wraps wasn't he? Plus Carlton's first pick is better than Sydney's.
This whole thing is moot, because Tippett won't end up in Melbourne at all.

My thought is that if we had won the flag this year Kurt would have probably stayed.
I thought the opposite; that if we win, he'd consider that box ticked and we could happily part ways. I thought the way we finished, would've made him hang around and try and take the next step with us.

Turns out he's a pussy.
