Damn Hill's value going up after two games quality games.

I still don't think he's worth a high second rounder. I'd be happy with 23-27 range. Langdon plus our second (if we get one) is still overs imo but a likely scenario.

Then we wont get cam mac.
 
Langdon looks looks like he could be trending to match Hill's outside game.The Hawks are proven to be very good judges.
I'm guessing Isaac Smith's the Hawks biggest runner,who's ours,Langdon must be up there??

I'd rather wipe my arse with sandpaper than have Suban anywhere near our list. :p

I don't know you at all but you are indeed a very astute and fair judge. I think some Kleenex Cottonelle bog roll would be paying overs. Likely Suban will be racking up minutes for Peel next season.

I think Ed Langdon and a draft pick sweetener will be the go. Hopefully we will have a few early 3rd round picks to play with. Langdon played very well yesterday and who would forget his five goal game for Peel a few weeks ago.

Langdon is one we would rather keep but seems he wants to head home and so we just need to make the best of this. I think that would be better deal (for Hawks) than an early 2nd round pick alone if we manage to get one for Mayne.
 
Langdon's going to be a really good player for sure. Has all the signs & skills for it. But I'd be happy to use him on this deal because I can't see him staying in Perth.

A straight swap is actually pretty fair. Brad Hill isn't that amazing, he's helped a lot by being around a really good team.

As soon as a player is rumoured to come to Freo the same people here criminally underrate our own players. Langdon will be better than Hill. Freo will know this, and the Hawks will know this. He's just unproven and both players want to leave hence the trade evening up.

Balic's going to be better than Hill & Langdon combined :p

But there's been rumours all year, from more credible sources than Hackdorn that Langdon wants to go to Victoria. May as well take the highest offer.
 
Given our KPP stocks I very much doubt we'd trade Collins. Money is on Langdon or Sheridan. Possibly Crozier but doubt it. I even think they'd turn Sutcliffe in to an A grader. Whoever it is I think the Hawks will benefit and the player will benefit.

I agree shero IMO and yes they'll probably make him a better player.:'(

Yesterday was the first time I was actually impressed with Langdon. Ran very hard, but more importantly was used.

What was very noticeable today and because I paid very special attention to it, is that Hill does work his guts out, but the players feed him the ball regularly. That's obviously how old school footy should work.

Sadly we're very much a bang it down the lines type of team. We just don't work hard or simply don't reward the hard workers.

Hill's 30+ touches today could easily have been 15 if players just kicked it themselves. I'd be interested in knowing how many handball receives he had.

What I will say is that he generally looked for a good option. Not once did he just bang it out or down the line. He'd prefer to use his evasive skills to buy himself time and kick it 15-20m to a sideways target rather then bang it down the line to nobody. He generally centered the ball to the top of the square too when kicking inside 50m.

I know he's had a pretty poor year, but spud he isn't.

If we lose Langdon for him we've done incredibly well. I don't think it will end with just a straight swap. I think we'll need to give more and probably rightly so. Perhaps some fluctuations in our draft picks.
 
See him as a Shane Savage, Anderson type who looks great (even that's debatable) playing in Hawthorns system surrounded by superstars but won't be able to turn it on playing in a team like ours.

Don't think the Sheridan/Hill comparisons are too far off. If anyone's seen him the last couple of years I reckon he's one of the softest players in the league.
Sheridan is actually the anti-Hill, can defend but can't kick for shit. Hill can get free and kick well but don't expect him to lay a hand on his man.

Sheridan is the anti everything. If your looking to fill a void at Hawthorn, hes your man. Runs in straight lines, has little to no awareness, lacks defensive pressure, and regularly kicks it out of bounds or to the wrong option. Hawthorn should look it as a challenge. Hell even Matt Spanger looked half decent in the brown and gold.
