Yes. Although he's in the same draft year as Brad Crouch who we were able to secure a year earlier, we didn't enter the 2012 draft until pick #62 (Sam Siggins). We also picked up Atkins (#81) & Hartigan (rookie) in that draft.
Just looking at the age profile of our list including the ins & outs of this trade period, we seem to have done a pretty good job of filling the talent gap created by the Tippett sanctions.
DOB 1992: Smith, Lyons, Seedsman, Brown
DOB 1993: Laird, Grigg, Ellis-Yolmen, Hampton
DOB 1994: B. Crouch, Menzel, Cameron, Atkins, McGovern
DOB 1995: M. Crouch, Knight, Kelly, O'Brien
DOB 1996: Lever, Gore, Wigg, Ramsey, Dear

Cancelled
Absolutely cracking trade. Still can't get over the fact we've pulled it off.
Welcome to the club Troy, you're a part of the most dangerous forward line in the competition now. Enjoy.

As awkward as this?
See if you can trade out the marketing Dept too
, probably not with Carlton given their famous season campaign a few years back.... Easily the steal of this trade period on face value. Clearly Carlton saw something, but a change of scenery is gonna do him wonders anyway. I'd probably jump off a bridge if I played in the Carlton fwd line.
Forward line TICK! AA quality
Defense Ticked almost...still waiting on Hartigan, but he's played under 30 games now, I think he'll be okay. He played awesome against the Dogs in the Quarter final. He is our only weak link in the back half.
Midfield - With a fit Brad Crouch tick. People are getting carried away with contested possession & Thompson, Dangerfield being 1,2 at our club and top 5 in the AFL. Hawthorn was 17th in contested possessions this year, what we need to do is organise clean disposal around stoppages. Seedsman & Hampton fix this issue.
Outside run = tick, Seedsman, Hampton have it in spades.
Then there's pick 9,13. We need to go for best available! Another good midfielder would definitely be handy.
what about Joel 'the mole' Duckwood - didnt the Hawks overlook him cause of his knee?

Enjoy guys.
As I've said in a couple of threads now, it was in the clubs and Menz's best interest to facilitate a trade. We're entering a rebuild and Menz seemed to stagnate this year in a poor team. Plays a position that needs some more quality players around him.
Despite what a lot of posters seemed to to think, he always gave his all in spite of injury, poor delivery and no structure around him. His ceiling is still massive.
Thanks for Kerridge too! Reckon he'll be a lock in our 22 and is exactly the type of player we need at the moment.

Provided its not career threatening, nothing wrong with recruiting players who have suffered serious injury. Adversity breeds success so says my psychiatrist.

The thing about Kedge is he will work hard no matter what else is going on on or off the field.

I'd love to see Boogie on a wing. His more natural position I think. Let him run up and down it ALL day!

Email your team selection panel immediately. Tell them no matter what, Kedge simply has to play against the Roos! Geez he loves ripping them a new one.
