Lookong forward for trade period over so i dont have to keep listening to people talk about hawks
I am actually enjoying it as its good to see the family club resemble the family from the Godfather movies!!
In all seriousness I love hearing all this crap about it being part of Clarkos master plan and how he has done it before. As good a coach as Clarcko is its factually wrong to say he has done it before as never before has he had success without Hodge, Mitchell and Lewis together. The first two are one in a generation players and not easily replaced so jury is still out on the merits of this strategy.
If it were my club and it was say the Bont, Dahl and Libba coming to the end of their careers I would want to be sure we gave them a) the respect they deserve and b) not pension them off before their time (remember that is what McCartney was doing to Boyd, Morris etc two years ago).
Its also a bit of an urban myth that hawthorn make no recruiting mistakes, sure they took a punt on Burgoyne but its not like he wasnt a star at Port just that he had some injury concerns. Hows that trade for Jono O Rouarke looking now?
