Jake Stringer anyone. We would have some serious X factor in our team. Convert him into a big bodied no nonsense midfielder like Dusty. Push forward on occasions. Loves the don't argue and is quality by foot. Worth a look I would have thought.

Geelong and Essendon are reportedly frontrunners to snare the former No.5 draft pick.

Holy crap - how can the cats be front runners?

Dangerflog and Duckwood need some help! Jake is on the trade table, he is in the right age bracket and we don't mind taking a risk on star quality. Teams being front runners is just media speculation. I would love Clarko to have a chat with him at least.
 
Just crossed my mind -
If we got Kennedy and Rockliffe across the line, our midfield of O'meara, Mitchell, Rockliffe and Kennedy would represent a player from each of the northern states Suns, Swans, Brissie and GWS.
What are the odds that we'd have poached a few gold nuggets from that crew of clubs?

Would only need rockliff ti get that, we already have O'rourke from gws.

Exactly 50%, since we only have two of them
 
Absolutely incredible list management by them. Kelly is now staying. Turned down massive coin. Good on him. Can't believe they have managed to keep Cameron, Patton, Shiel, Greene, Whitfield, coniglio and Kelly. That's 7 elite/A+ grade talent. If they learn to play as a team they will be unstoppable.

True, great list managment by Gill and the team at GWS

O'rourke is on our list? :eek:

Uhm, not the odds two players of the 4 named being on our list.
The odds that SHOULD we gain the services of Kennedy & Rockliffe (who would certainly get runs in our first team), we'd have gotten the players from THOSE clubs.
Not exactly havens of talent we've regularly fished from, and long been the subject of derision and casual vitriol from BF Hawk supporters......
 
Geelong would have **** all to get the trade done I would think. Can't see next year's first getting it done.

Barrett (on Trade Radio) is adamant that pick 20 is the right mark for Stringer. Seems too cheap to me. I would have thought Top 10 is in order plus maybe an outer player.

Probably not possible at all but Imagine if GW manages to land both lever and stringer! #imaginethemelts

Ur right. Barrett is an idiot. Seriously he is so footy awareness dumb sometimes.
 
Stringer had 1 great season.
The fact he wants out. He has a bad reputation as a team player and his work ethic at training.

He is worth 1 pick. Barret is close to the mark.
Then again your worth as much as someone will pay, if 3 teams are after his service his value will drive up.
 
If Stringer is to come to Hawthorn our eyes on him would have been over 12months ago

Geez Kennedy has a lot of hype on this board for someone that has done very little, to me it would be like adding another Lovell type standard player.

Geez Lovell has a lot of hype on this board for someone that has done very little, at the very least Kennedy gets on the park.

Pretty sure I read the Bulldogs have said it would need to be a top 10 pick.
 
If Bevo has any respect for Clarko's he will be well and truly advising him why the dogs are parting ways with the youngster.
He is a huge risk, huge reward trade. Holds more doom as all his
footy problems are an extension of his personal life.
Being young and bullet proof means he ain't listening to the people he
are trying to help him.
