You have several on the boil at once with the hope that at least one makes it. If both turn out well, you either find a way to accommodate both, or you trade off the one you want the least. Odds are

Maybe you've hit the nail on the head right there - Warnock behind Frawley, Rivers and now Tom McDonald - Lisle behind Franklin, Hale and Roughead. We are developing our own - Cook and Fitzpatrick, b

Ouch!

I wonder now that the Hawks have picked up Gunston, they will be more likely to accept offers regarding Lisle, especially since they have no pick inside the top 50....

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
