Past #1: Hamish McIntosh - drafted at pick 9 in '02 ND - traded to Geelong for #36 in '12 trade period

[Psicosis]

Obviously Geelong think they doing us a favour and taking Hamish off our hands. I would take pick 40 if it comes with Horlin-Smith.

Yep. Think he can be a very good player the young hyphen, just a matter of whether or not Geelong are willing to part with the young midfielder, especially if they don't get Caddy.

 

[Hard_to_Beat]

Geelong need to keep everything and lose nothing but picks.

They are attempting to stave off the inevitable.

 

[gokangas]

You can take your pick 40 and shove it!

I agree - rather keep him. But then again on the last two year's form it is probably about right.

 

[year of the roo]

What about someone like a Cameron Guthrie?

They gave him Ablett's old number didn't they?

I would prefer Horlin-Smith. Something about the Hyphen is just exciting.

40 and motlop

 

[roos_fanatic08]

People on here are delusional. We aren't going to get 40 + motlop or horlin-smith or Christensen. Just won't happen.

I'd rather keep hamish if they don't offer a first rounder.

 

[DunderHead]

The article said that we would not accept pick 40. Geelong will either need to sweeten that pick with something or give us an earlier draft pick for him. So we are looking at a player and 2nd round pick or a first round pick.

To be honest in terms of our development he is worth next to nothing. But in terms of cover he would probably be the best back-up number 1 ruck man in the Afl and could be extremely worthwhile to any club that are struggling with a number 1 ruck.

We should be shopping him around. Surely the bulldogs would like a bloke who can ruck and go forward to cover their young kp stocks.

No soup for you. Next.

I think WBD would rather give their young ruckman/KPP gametime in the 1s rather than have a stop gap for 3-4 years.

Pick 40 would not suffice for McIntosh, not in a million years. If the powers that be at Geelong thought that then I've overrated their intelligence.

 

[Roosurgence]

Package him and Delaney up and they can give us there first rounder or compo pick. The compo pick if Caddy choses us and the first rounder if he doesn't.

They're also not going to do that in a million years.

Why not Hamis will play Number One Ruck and Dealney will slot into their back line. These are two players that would step into their 22 definately worth their first rounder.

 

[Mr Reliable]

Pick 40 is an opening bid. We won't trade him for that.

 

[THE MOEMAN]

can't see us trading delaney, reckon we rate him highly and he is contracted.

On hamish it will take more than pick 38-40 to get him so they need to find a way to get that pick higher

 

[Husk]

If H was to play Tarrant's role he would be just as, if not more effective.

Not to sure about that.

Hard and fast leading was a key to the 3 talls so space could be created. McIntosh is far to much of a plodder to make that work, and will be zoned off easily by opposition defenders.

Tarrant is a better overhead mark.

 

[muttley45]

Tarrant is a better overhead mark.

not sure if serious

 

[Daz]

I think the HS was just speculating. I very much doubt they have any idea what's been offered at this stage. Given H only just did the medical, they may not have even tabled a first offer to us yet.

 

[mark73]

Ok.

 

[Dickie Greenleaf]

Agreed.

The whole "Hamish would be a solid forward" is a little over-done on here, tbqh.

He's kicked 59 goals in his entire career.

It's amazing everytime someone has a different opinion to yours, they're a keyboard warrior.

Not sure either about fast there Husk. Certainly repeated and consistent compared to Hamish, Tarrant runs all day but is a plodder as well.

I am with Tron, I am still unconvinced Hamish couldn't play a role up forward and ruck, but as he is going we wont know anyway.
