big no for me, interested in matt mcquire, cant get into saints side at all and very talented

He is even a bigger no for me. Slow, and the game has gone past him. Not a genuine forward. no point.

    hawkins only chance to make it is if he gets angry. he needs to bully players around, push, pull and muscle. if he wants to last he needs to use his bulk, find some aggression and dominate using his strengths. he isn't built like reiwoldt so nobody should expect him to play like that.

    Give Brad Miller the Angry Pills instead of Hawkins. At least we know Brad gives it his all. Hawkins is a DUD of the highest order at this stage. I doubt i will be proved wrong.

    Yep lets keep working with Miller.

    Big guys take time, I would take him, I wouldn't want to put up much for him but I reckon we could find a spot.

    Would anyone be intrested in trading for him with our second round pick? get 2 mids with first two picks and a forward and our depth is looking good. In saying this the jury is out on whether the tomahawk is bona fide footballer.

    Limited footballer who can't really play anywhere other than the goal square. If he's off his game he's a liability to the team.

    Or We could recruit Brent Girgic back..... No Thanks.....

    If you're going to bag a former player simply because they weren't up to it at least spell their name right.

    This year draftpicks will be worth more than usual because of the Gold Coast concessions so we should have a good chance to get an up and coming player at another club that we know will make it especially with our second round pick. A good finishing midfielder with pace would be desirable.

    In terms of recruiting a forward I don't think Hawkins is the answer. I don't see much real scope for improvement and the modern game doesn't really suit him. Forwards need to be quick and agile in today's game as well as good on the ground. That's why I think we should look at someone like Mitch Morton who is potentially a 50 goal a year forward in a good side. As we improve I think he could be a useful 3rd forward. In this year's draft there seems to be a shortage of good forwards too.

    Bailey has basically ruled out going after Hall but he is still playing good football so you'd think he could get picked up somewhere.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
