If I am not mistaken, that is an article from yesterday afternoon (5:27pm), before the AFL came out and publicly said that this deal could not go ahead.

Regardless of whether we pick him up or not, it's a bit unfair to tar and feather him over one bad miss... if that were to be used as a selection criteria, Neitz would never have pulled on the red and blue, Buddy would be playing country league, as would Riewoldt and numerous others.

lol. it was only a bit of a joke.

optimistic side is: he's young, and he was going for his first goal in afl. It was in tassie, so there was probably a massive wind pushing it left to right. ;)

I'm sure he'll be fine.

Young player shanks a kick for goal in his first match? Oh no, obviously a dud. Delist him now.

Have a look at his breathing as he's lining up for goal. He's so nervous he's on the brink of a heart attack. Give him a break.

Well said, I watched that game and although he was obviously nervous and kicked poor he showed real, real promise in what was his first game. Took plenty of lead up marks and had plenty of opportunity to kick a big bag in game 1.

Wow he sounds just like Brad Miller mark 2, let's go after him. BTW Nasher Addam Maric was like that with his first kick at goal, and guess what? He never got any better.

Great logic there RobbieF........

I think Lisle is a long shot anyway.

I'm told he has legitimate family links to North and is determined to get there.

Dutchy Holland school of kicking

Funny how another clubs fringe players get talked up at trade time

Yeah we might as well trade one player who can't get a game with us, Warnock, for another player who can't get a game with Hawthorn, Lisle, who in all probability won't get a regular game with us.

I guess it escapes you.

His player profile for anyone that's interested:

http://www.hawthornfc.com.au/tabid/8483/Default.aspx?playerid=19914

Bear in mind that he'll be 22 next year and that we all know that KPP take longer, let's not bury him just yet.

I honestly couldn't give a rats either way if we get him or not.

They're a pretty smart bunch down at Hawthorn and they don't give good players away, they hang on to them.

Josh Kennedy says hello ( And Ben McGlyn also waves - although I think he still would be borderlne at Hawks)

Edit - the reason they would be giving Lisle away is the same reason the two above were released - there are players at Hawthorn ahead of them. They gave Kennedy away as they believed there to be better options in the midfield - however it goes back to what I have banged on about for ever and a day - in so many cases, you dont know what you have got until the player reaches 23/24 years of age. Therefore you are at risk trading out these young players that havent reached any sort of maturity

Thanks Bean,

I think you have hit the nail on the head.

Looks like none other than the MCG to me.

These guys can play, and would be best 22 at the hawks imo

But... the point is valid, they dont let talent go the Hawks or if they do its for some value so they dont generally look stupid

Hardest team to trade with and against

IMO Lisle is definitely the right "type" - I've never seen him play, but if we trade for him it means we rate him in that type and I'd be very happy.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
