Don't know about Kennedy, but I certainly rate McGlynn. link

    Hawthorn seriously are making some crazy trades this week..... They are offloading some decent talent....

    Hawthorn has a shrinking cap, they call it the "shaun buygoyne syndrome". Hawthorn have to shed salary, this trade is not surprising at all. Move a couple of depth players on to free up some cash and a roster spot for a cheap contracted kid. Good business move form the hawks, better move from the swans who were the short term winners in this deal.

    Salary Cap pressure

    Yes after 2008 "unexpected" Flag the books at the Hawks would have exploded. They would be treading very carefully this week.

    Burgoyne meant a couple had to leave immediately.

    F@#$$@#ck McGlynn is quality. Yeah i was thinking this about hawthorn at the start of the year, all these young stars will want more and more, an there is just no room for them in the salary cap. When you think about how many stars they have... and how much their salary will rise considering that they are pretty young

    Buddy

    Rough-head

    Rioli

    Lewis

    Hodge

    Williams

    Mitchell

    Brown

    Sewell

    I would consider all these players pretty good... and they will all demand more and more money...

    I wonder how many of these players will stay after the next couple of years

    "McGlynn, 24, played the last 16 games of Hawthorn's 2009 campaign to take his career tally to 44, but had informed the club he would take his chances in the national draft or pre-season draft if a deal wasn't struck with the Swans."

    Hmm bit annoying...

    Didn't know that. Unusual. McGlynn is a fair loss for the Hawks in my opinion. Loved the way he played on Didak that night the Hawks pumped the Pies.

    My understanding that Hawks wanted to keep both, but they wanted to leave for opportunity, plus cash no doubt. Surely MFC could've offered a better deal for McGlynn?

    Exactly!

    They are offloading depth! And young talent..

    And as we know, and the Hawks know, with so many injuries, depth is so important...

    People like Kennedy and McGlynn especially saved them to a degree...

    They are going to pay the hawks bigtime...

    Sure Burgoyne is a good player but certainly in 2 seasons hasn't played his best football..

    Yeah that's a steal IMO. Hawks are obviously right at the limit of their salary cap, especially now getting Burgoyne, so they're having to offload some younger talent to hold the core of their side together.

    Swans have done well here.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
