Luke ball was fit last season. He was reported to be flying during pre-season and was set for a big year. For what ever reason he didn't quite reach the standards expected of him. It had nothing to do with his fitness.

What the faarrrkkk disco. Not quite sure you thought that through buddy! Anyway hope they were not to dry, plenty of sauce hey. You must of really had the dolmio grin going after those bad boys

The early start might flush out luke balls decision fairly soon as you would expect him to start training with us after his two week break if thats his choice.

So what did he say about blease and strauss?

I would rather take a punt on a kid than take smith. North have been beating his drum for years but the poor fellow just cant stay on the park. Macdonald i would consider. He can play back or in the middle and he is not a bad size. He had a really good year in 08 playing in the middle but was moved into the backline by voss and struggled a fair bit in the first half of the year to make any impact. Finished off the year alot better.

Cheer up would you! Its friday and work is nearly over for a week and your ruining my buzz. Pull up stumps and have a beer.

yes, one or the other

I think someone raised j mcdonalds name from brisbane.

the risk would be they make a grand final and he does not make the team. I really cant see him headed back to the saints. Melbourne must be a better than 50% chance now. I for one would be very happy to see him in the red and blue

what a load of [censored]

would you take a shortened deal on less cash with the risk you wont play alot?

Footy is a funny game. if you asked this question last year i don't think to many people would have sylvia as there favourite player but one year on he is everyones man. Sylvia for mine as well. I have liked him for awhile now and just rapt he has turned his form around.

How would they end up with pick 10 from essendon? It would mean hawthorn gave a player to essendon in exchange for pick 10 and then moved that pick on to port along with 9 for SB. I thought mark williams was on the table and he is not worth pick 10

J Mcdonald is the player brisbane have in reserve if rischitelli refuses to move. The bradshaw failed test is only a rumour at the moment from what I know and we are all aware of how many of these are flying around.

Yeah, I would rotate green and sylvia between the midfield and the half forward flank. Don't believe either has the motor to run in the midfield all day but would compliment each other in this role.

right on the money with that one Jaded

sorry, wrong choice of words

From what I am hearing you would be spot on with this analysis.

that all sounds good till we get down to one tiny little detail. Hawthorn don't have 600k to spend on a player

heard that fan ring in yesterday and then i heard him ring in again this morning. Having had a night to sleep on his comments he still felt it necessary to once again state his beliefs. Lovett wanted out and the club took the best available option but i supose some people don't see it like that.

Trade time is a strange period of the year. Rumours fly around all over the place. People make huge calls about there football club and there players but one has caught my eye more so than other years. There seems to be an enormous amount of people calling radio stations declaring they will rip, tare, cut, burn and destroy there memberships. Some people are stating they will leave the club and follow another. For example people have stated if Fevola was to be traded to Sydney they would follow him with there support. I heard the same type of thing this morning over the brown to Port rumour. What kind of a weak, low life moronic idiot do you have to be to state such a thing. Often these people are life members of the club. Do they really think these threats will sway the clubs thinking? Put your faith in the clubs board because when the push comes to shove there in a better position than we are to make judgments.

Not sure its just emotional hawks supporters. The deal stinks. As it has been said this deal would be a win for port. Hawks got lucky picking up dew but this might end up leaving egg all over there faces.

Madness, this deal would be a big win for port. Imagine the scrutiny on the hawks board if burgyorne dosn't make it on the track next year after giving up pick 9 and BROWN. Hard men win games on grandfinal day not soft and broken midfielders

Your kidding arn't you! Trengove is in the top 2 players in the draft, he may still go at number 1 and if he does he would fully deserve that recognition. It has nothing to do with brock leaving and it has nothing to do with our need for midfielders. You take the best availible especially when talking about the top few picks. If a key forward or back was in the top two we would take him. Look at richmond who tried to take players that they needed and missed out on players like franklin and roughhead. You take the best availble for the simple fact that they are the best.
