TRADING KEY TO STAYING UP TOP

Hawthorn will trade aggressively in coming weeks as it tries to create an era of domination. The Hawks' bid to become bulletproof will start at a list-management meeting this morning.

List manager Chris Pelchen will meet coach Alastair Clarkson in preparation for Wednesday's draft camp, as the club prepares to mount a bid for an experienced key defender.

Hawthorn has the salary-cap room, the inclination and the potential trade bait to be a key player in the October 6-10 talks, and is determined to be aggressive in the market.

Sorry for the two posts computer stuffed up

Could Tim Boyle be on the cards ?

i say lets just get more draft picks

thats what hawks did in the first couple of years and look at them now

they got guerra/dew after their first few draft years

boyle reminds me of another miller...we;ve aready got one so no thanks

miller can run better than boyle and lead up. bigger engine.

I don't want Boyle and I don't want Clarke, but if they really want Carroll they can have him

trade carroll for pick 81. then use pick 81 as a pass!

No brainer, straight swap Boyle for Carroll.

Carroll would flourish in the Hawthorn defence while we probably need someone to take a key forward spot until Jack Watts (or which ever young KPP we draft) is ready.

A minor win win for both clubs.

I doubt that they'd want our garbage in Carroll.

I'd trade Warnock, but they're after an experienced defender.

If they were prepared to offer Thorp and a 2nd/3rd pick for Rivers, I'd seriously consider it.

would you consider rivers for pick 16?

im not sure i would. i wonder what they would pay for him. he is only about to turn 24.

for the record warnock is 24 and 5 months, and carrol is nearly 28.

I'm more interested in trying to trade for Mitch Thorp. Arrogant sunofabitch but he can seriously play.

Probably not. Even in a strong draft, pick 16 could be hit or miss. I'd rather see us do a trade of players with Hawthorn. How about Jarryd Morton and Simon Taylor for Rivers?

I know everyone says that you draft the best available, but in this year's draft and trading, we should address our needs, ie; kp forwards, ruckmen and line-breaking mids.

Carroll and pick 51 to Hawthorn for pick 50. Don't think you can pass on draft picks you obtain through trade can you? Pick 50 we'd use, 81 we wouldn't.

May as well give Carroll to Hawthorn.

While it would be practically giving him to them I agree, I just feel Melbourne need to get him out of the club and seeing as he's contracted this may be the only way. Been involved in one to many off field incidents for my liking.

If anyone else mentions that hack Tim Boyle I will find them and kill them.

Tim Boyle, Tim Boyle, Tim Boyle.

Like to see you try.

You seriously should never be allowed back on. That is a disgraceful not to mention illegal comment.

MODS????

moderators indeed. yze magic is a twit

Bit extreme there YM How about this instead. To anyone who bothers mentioning Boyle again, read this post I made a little over a month ago. If you bring him up again, I'll just keep posting it, because I'm sick of hearing that people actually want to see this dud wearing the red and blue. Same thing goes for Murphy at Freo. DUD.

Let me put this in perspective for everyone with a few facts that should end this thread any ridiculous notion we should bother with this dud.

Boyle will be 25 in Rnd 1 2009.

He is a (soon to be) 25 year old who has only managed 31 games since he was drafted in 2002.

He has managed 39 goals that 6 years. In a Hawthorn side that until recently was very weak, he still couldnt crack a game.

He has managed 6 games this year for 6 goals in a Hawthorn team, that while Buddy conscious, sends the ball forward more than anyone (bar Geelong).

He averages less than 1 tackle a game. In a team where we desperately need defensive pressure, he has none.

So in essence, he is a Brad Miller, minus aggression, a shred of talent, somehow kicks LESS goals (never thought it were possible) and has the work ethic of a Mexican janitor.

If anything, I'd trade a pick NOT to have him on our list. He is a dud.

I hope you all realise how stupid it is to even bother talking about this guy.

Calm down princess! I know you say a lot of stupid things, but thats not on.

go and have a hard look in the mirror.

It's a pity Ferguson is no longer on our list

If Hawthorn are after an experienced defender, they certainly won't get one from us... unless they want Wheatley

Tim Boyle, Tim Boyle, Tim Boyle.
