Mega Thread Trading, Drafting & General Cattle Rustling Part III

Maybe make a sneaky play at Salopek??

Salopek has gone a long way back from where he was a few years ago. He was ordinary at Glenelg this year and they dropped him to the Glenelg Reserves and he did no better there. Appears finished as a footballer at elite level.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I'd be staggered if Hawthorn delisted Duryea. I thought he made tremendous improvement through the season. He is a very good kick and is starting to understand what it takes to play AFL football. He was listed as an emergency for Hawthorn because I think the club legitimately thinks he's close to playing AFL.

Unless I've got my wires crossed, both he and Grimley have contracts for 2013, and I can't see us tearing them up, especially in regards to Duryea, at least.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Okay, I know he's the wrong size (so-called) - 191cm - & maybe wrong position (still, we're losing a few): what about Dylan Roberton. Apart from the missing 's' (?), there's lots to like. He's 22, coming up to his 4th preseason ('ready to go'), has outstanding endurance (14.6 beep & top 10% 3K run @ draft). He's played plenty of senior footy with East Perth, 37 AFL games and he'd be returning home. On Drafts & Trading, someone said he was a huge Hawks fan as a kid; for a decent midrange pick, why not (as opposed to the usual rather speculative choice at that point).

I'm not even sure what the bloke looks like, but I can only Imagine the ball skills he possesses when he continually drops the "s" out of his own name.

That's an unforgettable clanger.

Is he related in someway to Robbo?

Isn't he the one with the funny haircut?

 

[markr]

One thing I've noticed is there's been no significant exodus from the expansion clubs. I expected a few more players to be wanting new homes.

The Suns and GWS still have a lot more money to offer to a fringe third year player than any of the established clubs. It's all well and good to say you want to come home, but when it comes down to it, how much money are you willing to forgo?

Yep, awful. Typo on a birth certificate. Do not want.

 

[Off The Couch]

I love the ramblings that take place when nothing is going on.

Jesse Crichton is the player with the whacked hair do

Don't think Roberton plays any different from suckling or birch so don't see the point

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Roberton is a hack. Pure hack

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

I think we still need to free up 2 - 3 spots on the list, so will be interesting to see what happens.

I'd like to keep Young. If Litherland is deemed good enough to stay on the list then I'd be happy for Gilham to go and find more opportunities. Not interested in Gillies unless we felt he was better than both Gilham and Litherland and we grabbed Gillies to replace the other two.

I'd keep Duryea too, but even though Grimley has a contract, I'd delist and only rookie unless someone drafts him and then pays his way.

I think it's time to either promote or cut Schneider. I am hoping we promote him and give him a chance.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Roberton is a hack. Pure hack

And his parents can't spell! DELIST!

haha i'd say a few generations further back, they were not the sharpest convicts in the shed

I love the ramblings that take place when nothing is going on.

I'm starting to come around to the Kyle Reimers trade.

An insider at the club told me this morning that there is a regurgitated, half eaten, snickers bar outside Clarko's office and we're thinking about offering it up to the Bombers in a trade. I also heard that if we were willing to throw in an out of date carton of milk that Ricky Dyson could be thrown in, and finally be ours!

GET IT DONE, HAWTHORN!

I don't even want to hear jokes about recruiting scum like that to our club!!

I notice 5.5 days has past since the last trade was completed. Not sure the extra time allotted for trade week is really needed. I think everyone is waiting to see the Tippett deal closed and, to a lessor extend, for Young to make up his mind. In a shorter trade period, those things would happen more quickly.

Don't be so impatient, we'll land Ricky and Kyle in due course.

That Snickers bar has quite a history behind it.

As you said, it was regurgitated, and half eaten. But the other half also has quite a story to tell. Rumour has it that it was purchased from a 7-Eleven store with broken down air conditioning on one of those 45 degree summer days. You know the kind, where people who don't even get hayfever are rubbing their eyes and sneezing on you because of those damn northerlies.

Anyway, this Snickers bar (his friends called him Ralph which was somewhat prophetic to his fate as a rugitatee) was quite pleased to be selected. The fact that his chocolately skin was ooze out of the poorly glued wrapper didn't deter his investor. This investor was none other than the late, great Michael Jackson who was revelling in his make-up free time, rubbing shoulders with the plebs of old Melbourne town. In fact, it was the first time in months that Jackson had been in public wearing a singlet and boardies. He still moved with his groove, but much more relaxed than usual.

Jackson caressed and cared for the Snickers bar for a good half hour before realising that it was, in fact, an item of food. Jackon apologized to the Snickers bar before approaching a cafe and asking for a knife and fork in order to eat this strange new thing.

The cafe owner, unimpressed by the frail other-worldly unsurfer dude's attempt to bring food into his shop threw him out on the street. Dismayed, but not discouraged, Jackson kept trying cafes and food stores until some cutlery was afforded to him.

Jackon's stomach wasn't used to real food and the shock of the chocolate and peanuts created a series of allergic reactions. The first made him puff up like a tic, the second created a sudden outburst of facial hair and the third reaction was that the hair on his head become suddenly quite curly. Feeling sick and quite worried, Michael wandered the city streets frantically looking for relief. He muttered unintelligibly for hours at strangers as he tried to ask for help. Eventually he came across a group of guys, eating lunch at a cafe. This chap had golden locks and a cheeky smile that suggested he was the unofficial leader of the group. The man approached Jackson and said "Dipper! What's wrong mate, you look like you've seen a ghost!"
"huawerasdfa" said Jackson, relieved that someone had finally come to his aid.
"Derm, let's just get him in a can and head back to Waverly, he's just overdone the lunch hour again" said a man later to be referred to as the chief.

They made their way into a nearby cab. Although panicking beneath the surface, Michael's exterior showed a sleepy calmness. They approached Waverly, which Michael thought was some sort of temple. As they were getting out of the cab a song came on the radio. A blast from the past Michael vaguely recognised the song as one of his own. He started to jive, moonwalk and dance around the place. Dermott and Dunstall looked confused. The torrid dance moves were a catalyst for Jackon's allergic reaction to progress to the next stage, which was a vomitous disaster scene behind the main stand. The hawk stars saw their friend mutate before their eyes into a frail little creature. Needless to say they were stunned. Brereton was the first to realise who was in front of them. Thinking of the potential e-bay sale or future trade bargaining chip this could offer, Dermott set to work pooling all of the spewy mess into a neat pile. He then packaged it and wondered what kind of club would agree to such a trade.

In 2012 it all became clear when an Essendon list manager called up HFC and said they were fielding offers for young Kyle.

How do I know all this?

I was there. That's how.

Dont know if this kid will be available at our pick or if we really need another of his type with rioli, wanganeen, frank and Hill similar players but check out the highlights package!

That's what happens when you sign a sponsor for the trade period, they now need exposure. A couple of years ago it got cut back from 2 weeks to 1 week because that is all the time you need to trade.....now it is going to run until Christmas with nothing but rumours to keep wind in its' sails. Still it is far more interesting than the horse racing.

Three quarters of nothing will happen over the next 2 weeks.

Unless I've got my wires crossed, both he and Grimley have contracts for 2013, and I can't see us tearing them up, especially in regards to Duryea, at least.

The club never announced contracts for either player so they would have been on one year deals - two year deals get media releases. Where was it announced that they had both signed for 2013? Even if they did they could still delist them and redraft as rookies....a bit like they did with Garry Moss until they realised it wasn't worth it. Actually Garry Moss has been in fairly good form with East Perth this year.

Grimley was given a 2 year deal, but given his status as a player, it didn't really warrant a media relese.
Duryea was given a one year deal. Believe he has signed on for next year though.

GET IT DONE, HAWTHORN!

Kyle Riemers wears orange boots. ORANGE. And he love a goal celebration. He's like Brad Green with wicked cool TATTS on his GUNS.

Snickers bar and carton of milk-yoghurt may not get it done. We may need to SWEETEN THE POT for this one. I have just purchase a yummy apple muffin from the bakery. I'm eating half and putting the other half in the POT to make it SWEET.

But, Hawks fans, this is where it gets good. When Kyle and Ricky are introduced to much fanfare at Waverley, there is a special surprise. I've received special dispensation from the AFL to give both players the same guernsey number.
