    The only good news is the GWS are almost finished. Shiel and Scully this year. Kelly next. They will not be the super power we thought

    I'd be quite happy if that is the case.

    GWS were given probably the most priority acess to quality young players in the history of the AFL and at the same time that the MFC bottomed out and needed to rebuild, partially impeding our ability to rebuild.  The draft concessions given to GWS have achieved what they were set out to do and that is enable them to build a compeditive team in a reasonable time frame, which they did.  Whilst I'm sure the AFL would have loved GWS to have won a flag, they haven't and so be it.

    Quite happy for GWS to simply survive for a few years being an average to poor side.  The AFL will probably need to do a pretty good job persuading the rest of the competition that GWS being in the comp is a net benifit through additional TV rights or something  (though I struggle to see how), in the context of the team continuing to loose millions of dollars in it's own right every year.  I'm personally getting sick of this artificial team being propped up much longer.

    You would think the additional national interest in the game from a Tassie team would actually give TV ratings a kick and the Tassie government should draw a hard line and say we are not supporting Hawthorn and North Melb beyond 2020 without the commitment to establish a Tasmanian team in its own right.

    Only if we made him buy a house in Werribee and make him train and play for Casey for the next three years

    Couldn’t think of a more appropriate club for him to join tbh

    In other news, Hawthorn have been rumoured to drop their lucrative Tassie deal to sign sponsorship deals with Chiko Rolls (front of jumper), Big M (back of jumper) and Four n' Twenty pies (shorts). 

    This also comes alongside the rumor of Phat Phil getting the job as Chief Commercial Officer at the Hawks.

    Oh Ok. So let me get this straight. You guys are all happy to let an All Australian caliber wingman (2017 40 man squad) go a fellow top 4 contender for a ham sandwich at the expense of filling one of our key needs which is outside run, carry, class and goal kicking.

    I guess we’ll all settle for JFk spudding up the MCG southern stand wing next year as most of you can’t build a bridge and get over an incident that happened 7 years ago.

     

    Spot on. Ridiculous commentary around this. People need to grow up a little bit. 

    He fills a need, just like Lever, just like May, just like KK. 

    Sounds like he's just about over the line at Hawthorn, but I'm glad our FD clearly realise we need to move on and get to winning flags, instead of being too proud to address such a blatantly obvious need.

    Heard him interviewed on the radio yesterday; pretty clear that he holds little or no affection for the Dees.  Talked about how difficult the booing and money bags stunts when he played us was. Feelings mutual. Interestingly he does keep in contact with Max (a little bit)

     

    Just saw this, glad our supporters got to him.

     

    Keep up the good work.

    Emotion aside, if he came cheap and didn't want a huge contract, I'd take him. We could use that run on the outside. I doubt if he would ever be popular with the fans, but you live with the decisions you make.

    GWS must have royally messed up his ankle surgery for him to go at that price (either that or Hawks think his ankle is stuffed regardless and are hoping for a miracle).

    Good riddance.

    Possibly... I don’t think the dorks are that stupid 

    either his ankle is royally [censored] OR

    GWS are desperate to release salary cap

    This deal makes a mockery of the whole trade system. Should be worth a first rounder. Has an ankle injury but he’ll be fine in 5 months. 

    Why the [censored] would gws not ask for more? And don’t say salary cap as they are holding firm on Shiel. 

    [censored] joke

    Not sure how a player that good can go for so little, even with an injury issue.

    I don't get it.

    He comes across as such a great bloke that you would do anything to keep him, right Giants?

    (Ha!  Big salary for the next few years and questionable character offloaded to the dorks.  GWS laughing in their Halal snack packs)

    So Kent and Scully Are worth around the same??!

    Got it. 

    HAS to be more to this or it is connected to another deal. The hawks will be tough to beat again, those A Holes

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
