Hopefully its permanent.

 

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.

$cully is a fourth round pick (form no.1 pick on $6m contract at GWS) 

May requires pick 5 ???? 

We even got 31 for watts 

Seriously .... WTF

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.

Must be huge doubts on his ability to return to full fitness.

Gotta feel for the bloke.

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

 

An outrageous steal!!! His ankle must be all kinds of buggered, otherwise this is ridiculous!

Edited by watchtheeyes

he belongs in brown and yellow. It's what he is.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
