Rumour 2024 Rumours and Speculation (Rumours total 25, last 28th August)

[beartoo]

Have it on good authority that Sid Draper is desperate to play for a Melbourne club and is hoping we (and WCE) don’t pick him up.

That's not my mail and I know a Panther mid.

So the team with the easiest H&A draw

Yep, that side that beat geelong in geelong, hawthorn twice, Sydney by over 100 points, the bulldogs, us in a showdown...

 

[spenze]

We didn't think we needed to rebuild the midfield.

We had Crouch, Laird, Keays and Sloane as the cornerstone of our engine room.

The fact our brains trust thought that was a stacked midfield should be reason enough to excuse them from list management decisions

So same side with the easiest H&A draw who got smashed by nearly 15 goals by Geelong in a home Final, beat the Hawks by less than a goal in those home games, Sydney we will see whether they have really respond from their form slump, Bulldogs aren't that good as it turns out (we also smashed them at home lol) and us well.....

Oh i hope you are right and i do think Sydney will be a bridge too far based on my previous comments, but nevertheless, they just won a final whilst being undermanned against a red hot hawks side off the back of their midfield.

Oh, they also beat Freo in Fremantle when the dockers knew a win for themwould secure finals.....

I think I read somewhere that he looks up to Rozee and Butters. Maybe he thinks he can engineer another JHF deal easier from Vic.

Hawks have been red hot, but they were not last night

Swans midfield is a class above hawthorn’s midfield, especially without Day.

Swans will have to many weapons across the ground for port to handle, not to mention Swans bottom 5-6 players are easily better than ports bottom 5-6 players

Wasn't that side one of the weakest Hawks sides since around r5? No Day, no Frost??

And a very hostile crowd.

My nephew who is playing for South under 16's tomorrow said the talk around the club is Sid Draper will most likely be picked up by West Coast at pick 3...

Not sure about “off their midfield”.
JHF 19 posies, Butters 17 and Rozee 20. Hawthorns midfield is made up of no names but won the centre clearances 10 to 9 and Newcombe had 31 posies and 6 clearances. Personally think Ports midfield are down hill skiers to some extent.

There's also a Brownlow medallist you overlooked. He was very good last night.

Hawthorn have a good ruckman

Ahh..they read big footy too then

 

[Mostyn]

Maybe he actually wants that Brisvegas kulcha

He might want the booming economy, fantastic weather and tremendous quality of life, that seems to be what attracts those relocating from interstate.

Leaves Finn O’Sullivan on the board for us to pick

Can confirm that West Coast were one of the six clubs that I mentioned a few weeks ago who have him as their first pick on their board, so this makes sense

Good chance it'll be Smith, OSullivan and Draper all gone by our pick?

 

[Eagleboy2011]

It doesn't matter anyway. Hamish will be looking at a CHB or a Tasmanian kid as our pick 1.

[Danger in Texas]

So then Lalor

Or Smillie, if rabidcrow is correct

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Smith
Smillie/Langford
Draper

Then leaves FOS for us

North don’t need another mid like him need a big bodied mid to go with LDU
