Deledio

I rekn kerr would be good to

[olisik 4,060]

Just saw these 2 on the FA list. Both would work a charm on our list, especially Kerrs experience. Yeh he turns 29 this year but throw him a 2 yr contract to show the young fellas how its done.

I remember seeing this guy bring down Barry Hall in the goalsquare.

[Deemort 28]

I'd like Stanton, coming good, prolific ball winner

[stuie 7,374]

Didn't Deledio re-sign just recently?

[Deemort 28]

Hodge Mitchell and Sewell gone fron Hawks midfield would be interesting lol

[stuie 7,374]

Just checked, Deledio re-signed for another 2 years about a month ago, so might be an idea to check this list before getting too excited fellas

[stuie 7,374]

Already a thread about free agents, also Deledio is NOT available

[Guest José Mourinho]

REALISTICALLY ACHIEVABLE players that I'd be interested in: Doughty, Adcock, Slattery, Grover, Sewell, Butler, Gwilt, Salopek, Tuck, Bateman, Surjan, Rosa.

[stuie 7,374]

Bateman.... lol....

Sewell, absolutely!

[Guest José Mourinho]

Bateman.... lol....

Sewell, absolutely!

Yes, Bateman.

Why "lol"?

[stuie 7,374]

Yes, Bateman.

Why "lol"?

We're talking about Chance Bateman right?

He'll be lucky to be offered another contract I would have thought, and doesn't seem to fit with our needs at all, we've already got a struggling ageing former goal sneak.

Lids signed for 5 years.

He's not a goal sneak.

And he'd be a good role model for the players, as a gut-running midfielder.

The very type of mature-bodied and mature-minded player we require.

Good for only a couple of years, but that's all we want.

[stuie 7,374]

Lids signed for 5 years.

Good work. Just skimmed the news to check, either way he's out of our reach.

Just don't see him being a regular 22 guy for us from 2013 onwards, and I reckon we have enough of those "depth" style players, MUCH prefer more of a gun, like Sewell, would fit in so well with Neeld's style.

I think he'd be great to have around the club for his influence on the kids, would play a handful of games, and that we'd be able to throw him a lifeline and get him cheap.

I wouldn't be looking for anyone to play much after 2013.

We need to build our list from the draft.

Any mature-agers should be supplementary and acquired with aiding the development of the kids in mind, first and foremost.

I know Sydney have done well, but I don't think we would have the same success attempting to replicate their model.

Not at this stage.

When I think of us signing an old player from another club I just can't help but think Byron Pickett... (who incidentally was one of my favourite players, but was probably a bad move for us)... Just don't see the point in getting these guys in for a year or at most 2, we're not having a shot at a flag and need a top up, and all they'll do is take games off young guys for a while, much rather a gun who takes games off young guys until they earn it not just until the old bloke retires.

[P-man 13,366]

Neither are going anywhere, especially not Lids.

[P-man 13,366]

Yes, Bateman.

Why "lol"?

Cause it's Bateman.

Ebert is an enticing prospect. As is Adcock.

[Chook 15,022]

Didn't Deledio JUST sign a five year contract?

[Guest Dr Who]

Yes - its a few posts up the thread.

What would be Sewell's motivation for leaving Hawthorn?

[old55 23,687]

They want to trade him for Ferg?

[Nasher 33,617]

They want to trade him for Ferg?

I could've done without being reminded about that.
