Frawley to Join Hawks. (Pick 3 to the Dees)

[Forward Press]

West Coast got an end of first round priority pick in 2008, 2 years after they won the flag. Took Luke Shuey. Got another end of first round in 2010. Took Jack Darling. Got another end of first round in 2011. Took Fraser McInnes. Every snout is in the trough. You have done well with your picks but you did not drag yourself out of the sh*t, you had some assistance.

Picks 18 and 26. Barely on the level of what posters are arguing about here.

Stop making the mistake of thinking that because we managed to develop a pick 18 and pick 26 well that we have been overly compensated for it. Would you make the same post if we took James Strauss and Jayden Pitt?

And Fraser McInnes hasn't even played a single game.

 

[Trav 20]

Well, we Melbourne supporters want to justify the compo and the Hawks want to show they don't pay overs. So this ain't going away.

Only fools explain or complain.

The players who go chasing premierships usually never end up winning one. See Leigh Colbert.

Brian Lake likes your post

Happy to get Pick 3 for a guy who didn't give a shit for an entire season.

Chip, you were a great player for a while there.

Probably hard for him to care overly when being played tragically out of position all season to his defence.

Lol.. Right

Note wink. Then look up the meaning of irony and get someone to explain to you what it means.

It was harder for us and Roos to care knowing his bags were already packed.

We had to deal with knowing Buddy Franklins bags were already packed during 2013 also.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Anyways Pick 3 amazing result for the Demons

 

[I am Jack]

Everyone at Geelong would have gladly traded those two picks for a top three pick like Melbourne got. The compensation should be based more around the quality of the player lost and less about ladder position.

Don't think Melbourne supporters would've argued with a couple of flags either.
The Demons are lucky though, because Eddie might make Gill ditch compo in the coming years.
See how Ed is feeling, it is hard to tell with Eddie, but he does make the rules.

Compo picks should be ditched as its clear as day it's a poor system

Eh, just preparing for the future, like you guys did with Buddy up the ground.

I think this proves that free agency is working really, really well.

Lake needed premiership success - he had to go to Hawthorn. McEvoy and now Frawley. I really hope Frawley gets that premiership success next year and doesn't have to wait until 2016. That wouldn't be fair if he had to wait till 2016.

I hope Hawthorn goes after Dangerfield at the end of this year too.

Equalisation, trading, free agency...all working a treat. Love it. The big question is will Hawthorn win four or five premierships in a row?
That we just have to wait and see. So exciting.

Souths - rugby league. a traditional club wins a flag. Jeez, that was bad for rugby league.

Lake and McEvoy had nothing to do with Free Agency bud

I didn't said it is all due to free agency...if you read my post I said "Equalisation, trading, free agency...all working a treat."

Players want a guarantee of premiership success... I would be going to Hawthorn too if I was at a bottom of the table club.
He basically just chose Hawthorn over Geelong /Fremantle as he knew which one was most likely to win the next two flags.

Yeah look I can't argue with that fair point.

 

[smeltitdeltit]

How many gun players have Hawthorn poached now? And Sydney are Cola cheats?

Hawthorn must have a bloody good accountant.

1, Shaun Burgoyne. And we traded for him. (Pick 9 I believe)

i think you will find the hawks traded for most of their big name recruits... most clubs dont have the balls to put up 2 first round picks to get the player they need, end up pissing around all trade period for diddly squat....

hawthorn has clearly lost far more to free agency than they have gained

going by what most on here beleive, frawley is massively over-rated and not worth that much anyway....

 

[harmesy 37]

Yeah look I can't argue with that fair point.

The only question I have is whether Hawthorn will win the next two flags or the next three.

It makes for an exciting couple of years.................if you are a Hawthorn supporter.

Difference is we have the same salary cap as 15 other clubs, how is it our fault if they overpay players? Where as Sydney have a larger cap how is this hard for people to understand?

 

[Roddy]

We said we wanted to be a 'destination club', and so it is.

 

[TedDougChris]

Lake and McEvoy had nothing to do with Free Agency bud

Well, apart from Lake threatening to walk out on the Dogs using FA the following year, unless he was traded to Hawthorn.....

 

[Jnagle10]

I reckon Ablett will be free agent soon and go to a club again

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Just remember we did lose Buddy Franklin to Free agency probably the 2nd best player in the game, wouldn't say we have been the winners from it.

Are you trying to say that of recent years, Hawthorn, Geelong and Collingwood aren't traditional clubs?
