Fantastic get by the Hawks in McEvoy, excellent ruckman, and I recall quite a few games this year when he was playing across the defensive line and clunking every ball that went his way: good hands, good mobility, good ruck ability. I think we did good there.
Still, didn't want to lose Savage, but I gues that's the price you pay for having a bit of depth.
Wouldn't mind us getting Longer either, mainly due to Hale's age and his coming retirement (can't see him playing for more than 1-2 years) so a duo of McEvoy/Longer in the ruck would be very beneficial as well as one of the best ruck combos going around. Just can't let Brisbane give it to us from behind though in terms of how much they want for him.
Would like us to land one more established midfielder or half forward, then I could safely say I'd be happy with this trade period. And on face value, the McEvoy trade is brilliant. Well done Hawks.
