Roast yet another pointless, provocative headline on afl.com.au : "Boomer a Hawk?"

[IdiotBox]

Stupid, click bait rubbish.

We were supposedly interested in Harvey 3 years ago and that for some reason should still extrapolate to the here and now?

The actual article (by super scoop Barrett) then speculates that any number of clubs may be interested if Harvey chose to call Scott's bluff but it's the Hawks they use to lure the reader in.

We could get him, to stop him from breaking Tuck's record.

Particulaly if they keep playing him as a sub. That's cheating

 

[beta_condition]

In all seriousness I'd take Boomer for 2 years, still playing some top line football.

Who would you drop for him?

 

[Boot Studder]

Boomer would be great ... I can just see him running around for Box Hill.

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

We have an aging midfield and so the media thinks we'll chase Brent Harvey?? JJJESSSUUSSSS

Barrett is a flog.

Plus, not sure where we would fit him in. We've got more than enough small forwards

I don't see Harvey winning another 1 premiership let alone 7 to break the record

2 yrs you reckon, so we have an aging list, so let's make it age quicker, so we can get younger quicker?

This is why he's called "The biggest newsbreaker in the game (TM)".

I know its a bit of cliche for this forum but suckling(probably leaving anyway). Boomer would be good forward/midfield rotation and would even be a weapon off the halfback. Just because he's on the list doesn't mean we have to play him, he would come very cheap. Forget age if he's good enough to be in the best 22 so be it( on this years output he would be), you don't just gift young players game just due to their age.

Sorry mate, we have kids who need to get on the list, they are called 'rookies'...Boomer can fk right off, in my view

 

[JoeHawk]

If they open TFS with this story as a hot news item I'm gonna spew.

I've invested far too much hating him for him to come over now. As if he would .

It was hard enough dealing with Libba when he came across to assist coaching. I was always compelled to boo him even in Hawks colours.

Don't want Boomer, would rather Litherland, O'Rourke or Langford to replace Suckling if he decides to leave. Maybe even Anderson or Howe.

Yep by my reckoning he has said no to us twice if Barrett is correct.

I had a dream about Cyril breaking that one.

Now that's a Wet-Dream.

 

[nickrebellious]

He would absolutely tear it up for us but would much rather Hartung be playing every game.

 

[Bikefreak]

Do not want that campaigning, whining sookbag at my club.

I don't even need to read the article to know how poor it is.

 

[grumbleguts]

Harvey would need to play in 88 more wins to break Tuck's record. Not going to happen. At north's current win loss ratio it's about 600 games.

Indeedy yes! What a great stat. Burgoyne should easily join the 200 win club this year but may well run out of games to get to Langford senior.
