Cripps is not a finisher. Hill only finishes stuff he pulls out his arse. That only leaves Lecras, and it's pretty obvious this year that it's Harvey>Lecras.
The last thing we can afford to do is give away our 1st rnd pick or 2nd for that matter. We need to draft young talent for the future while only targeting free agents otherwise we will be going down the Freo and St Kilda path.
What? I was answering a question
Cripps is not a finisher?

Unfortunately you have to overpay to get him to move. Apparently Freo have offered 2.4 for 4 years. We would need to offer 2.5 for 5 to have a chance GWS probs can only afford 2 for 5 years700k
90% of Hawthorns 4 time premiership AA players aren't on that.
**** that he's worth 400-500k tops. Eddie Betts is on 500k FFS. No way Lobb is gonna kick 50 goals or help create 50 of them.
I'm sold on that Dr Pepper guy with our first pick
Not really. Gov had his worst game all season that game and lobb had his best game (mostly inside 50). You just don't move the best intercept mark and defenders in the business forward unless its through necessity (i.e injury). Lobb is a gun contested mark and let him play alongside kennedy and darling. Playing along side JK will improve his game and it will also help us transition him into our FF when jk retires.
Yep, reckon he looks the goods.
If he might be our greatest kpf ever then why would we keep him in the back line?
Yeh I'm just basing on that one clip too, but I'd rather froth over him next year than a geriatric front runner
For that coin he can go to Freo.
Do we have 11? I'm only counting 7 who are 28 and over.
Karpany and tunner all have had a taste of it. come next year, both could be ready for that role. I like the look of tunners and his ferocious attack of the ball/man is what we lack. He also seems like he can move on ball as a rotation. We just dont have enough strong bodies able to rotate through there and have an impact. Yes we smashed hawks in contested footy last week but we wouldn't do too well against better contested ball sides.
It was an age artical so could be wrong I guess. On my phone now so I can't look it up again. Still no 39 year olds though.
the letters "D" and "F" are too close to each other
Not a chance. Gov is good, Gov is great, but he's a victim of circumstance. 10 years ago and his type wouldn't be 'wasted' down back.
Come 2015 and everyone wants a lose defender you can read the ball and take a grab.
Besides near elite ball use by foot out of the back fifty that's all he really does.
He's not even close to McIntosh, McKenna, Jacko, Glass as a KPD.
I've got 9 looking at our list on the website. The rest of the article is probably bullshit too. But still my point still stands, if we don't start developing some young guys we're going to freo ourselves in 3 years
What by me or avishka?

That's right, it's Barrass who's going to be our greatest ever kpd, gov is just going to be our greatest ever key forward
The days of just locking you forward is gone. Even talia and rance are offering more offensively. Its one reason why emac has been banished to the WAFL.
What's the cutoff for judging ability? Because if it's more than 50 games someone better give Ash Smith a call and get him back here, he's still a chance to come good
