Hawks star joins Magpies

"Young last night informed Hawthorn, Collingwood and Port Adelaide, which had also made a substantial offer for the long-kicking left-footer, after agonising for days over the decision to quit the Hawks."

I'm always happy to see a good player quit the Hawks.

On the other hand, I hate seeing good players join the filth.

It's hard hating so many other clubs...

He has ordinary disposal, gets masked by his occasional bomb from outside 50.

This could be one of the worst calls ever made. The guy has a laser boot and is one of the best kicks in the AFL. Was on track for a Norm Smith in 2008 before he got injured make no mistake

Huge trade period by the pies imo......

Trading players for picks and replacing them for free with free agents.

equals same player plus 2 extra top 20 picks......

Settle down- they replaced Dawes with Lynch and Wellingham with Young which is kind of a break even result, and they get pick 17 and 18 or whatever it is. Both picks could be busts. Maybe

Anyway I wouldn't say they kicked the trade week's arse. We are the masters of this trade period so far

We've done well but reckon the Pies have done pretty well too - sure, you won't know for sure until we know how good their picks are but they've basically replaced like for like and picked up two free first round draft picks. Pretty good going really. Free agency has some great aspects to it but already I worry that it makes the strong clubs stronger.

If he was a Melbourne player, we'd all be complaining about what a blouse he is.

Pies quoted today's in Herald Sun as not being interested and now a Pie. Who told porkies yesterday?

Clinton Young's first appearance with the Pies and apparently he's in a moon boot... bet there are a few nervous supporters out there :-)

[jackaub 1,402]

Wish some of ours could kick low and hard to advantage like he can

Surely some kicking traing is in order for the Melbourne Players

I have not seen many other sides kick high floaters as often as our guys

It just gives the defence so much time to defend

We definitely need a kicking coach. If not recruit some who can like Clinton can.

He went at 71.9% disposal efficiency this year. AFL average was 72.4%

Melbourne players who went at better than 72%...strauss, watts, frawley, rivers, garland, sellar, dunn, bennell, bartram, davey, jones, jetta, macdonald, moloney, mcdonald, grimes.

I do watch games tho, and I have many Hawthorn mates who would agree with me. but hey worst calls ever made? maybe you're right
