Shane Savage

[The Hallowed Turf 95]

Ha. I'm with you HH. When I heard rumours about the Dees looking at Shane Savage I almost choked. And then he thinks he's too good to play for us. I would suggest Savage have an interest in ANY club that may look at him cause he's a bench warmer at Hawthorn. Enjoy Box Hill Shane.

I love how people crack the shits with Savage nominating his club of choice calling him spud etc yet if he nominated us he would be hailed as a superstar.

Just because he doesn't nominate us mean its the end of the world. Just remember one thing. We are NOT a very attractive destination..

[MadAsHell 4,217]

I agree with what you're saying DD, however I'm suprised he nominated Carlton.

Personally I don't see him in their 22 if they were injury free. One of the first emergencies yes, but not in their 22. If he came here he'd be starting FP, HFF or Wing.

Odd decision for someone looking to further their career IMO.

[dazzledavey36 55,990]

Yeah im surprised aswell TD but I don't understand the hate for someone that doesn't choose. But like I said its not the end of the world and too be honest I can see Brent Prismall all over again with him going to carlton.

[Matt Demon 1,579]

Off to the Saints apparently...

Would be a decent replacement for Betts I would have thought.

.

Is there 1 player mentioned in trade week that Carlton has said they are not interested in?

[Redleg 42,046]

Does he wear big baggy loose shorts?

[Barney Rubble 1,576]

Who a player nominates as a preferred destination means Jack shite.

The clubs will trade to suit themselves. He will go where the best option is for Hawthorn.

following on from judd, Burgoyne, ball, wellingham, hale, caddy, adams to choose other clubs.

Mfc on the nose unless Roos can sell the "light:

Sounds like he is coming with their first round pick to the Saints, in return for McEvoy. (Rumour on SEN atm)

Yeah trade radio saying the same.

More than a rumour, done deal.

Hawks amazing work to get McEvoy.

Yup, good deal for both I would have thought. Tom Hickey looks like he can take the mantle as the main ruckman, they get Savage and another first round pick

Hawks must have thought Longer was not attainable I guess.

[GawnWithTheWind 604]

Hawks paid overs...

[beelzebub 23,390]

Hawks paid overs...

But this is exactly the point I raised elsewhere. In order to get what YOU want ( insert club ) you go about it to suit yourselves. Its irrelevant what external judges place upon a draft pick's value. its what you want, what suits you. We need to do exactly the same

[GawnWithTheWind 604]

I wonder what this means for the longer trade... surely that can't get done now?

these clubs , like Hawthorn, find a way. Annoying

If I were a Hawks fan, I'd be quite happy right now.

maybe they realised that, still keep their 1st round pick. It was need for need.

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,477]

My bad just read it included 1st round. WTF.

[rpfc 28,966]

Paid through the nose because that is what they need. Roughhead out of the ruck.

We need a while mess of things so we can't entertain that sort of deal.

And young Billy Longer? Where are your jibes now son?

Talk to other clubs because you are not going to Hawthorn now.

[Nasher 33,617]

That's a pretty good deal for both parties I think. It's the way trades should be done: identify your target, cough up a fair price, do the trade. It's the way Sydney have traded for years. The alternative is the Essendon approach of try and screw the opposition over as much as possible then moan and complain when all the other clubs tell you to shove it up your jumper.

[Bluey's Dad 3,419]

If the Hawks trade their first round pick, where does that put their compo pick for Buddy?
