Re: Gibson's ready to move..

Good news on Gibson No one doubts the potential of Jesse but I would place him in the Mitch Thorp "im always injured" shelf. If we are going to trade Thorp he might be worth the risk, you would not want both keepin the trainers busy.

Todays HUN reporting the Kangaroos tried for 4 days to talk Gibbo out of leaving the club and he didnt want a bar of them.
The Kangas have now conceeded that they will deal with Hawthorn to get the Gibbo deal over the line

Re: Gibson's ready to move..

If Gibbo is going going, then let's a get a deal done.

If Jesse really wants to go, I can understand it. See my comments on the other thread.

Re: Gibson's ready to move..

Remember, people, every player who we think might come to hawthorn means one more player we have to get rid of.

We MUST pick three in the ND/elevate rookies.

Add that to Boyle+Dew out, and Burgoyne+Gibson in, that's three more we have to get rid of

yes, I know that's obvious, but I can't see that many apart from Burgoyne and Gibson being done...maybe one more.

Pick 25 & 26* & Jarryd Morton for JWS & Gibson

*assuming the rumours about willo to essendon are true (which seems very likely)

Tremendous news. Make it happen, Hawks.

Ah yes...the third one is the "big fish" that we're supposedly trying to land!!!!

the whisper is that Jolly from the swans wants to come back to Melbourne & that we've spoken to his management a couple of times!!

We've also spoken to Dean Cox and Aaron Sandiland's management too.

Now, imagine all three as our ruck division.... couldn't afford to pay any other players I reckon.

He's had an immense season. Nearly 28 years old, has 166 games under his belt. Probably has 3-4 years left in him...

LOL

In regards to Jolly moving when I think about it it makes a bit of sense.....why would the Swans be going after Seaby when (a) they have a number of ruckmen and (b) why would Seaby want to play 2nd fiddle to Jolly like he has been to Cox at WCE.

Well, first up, why anybody would want Mark Seaby is beyond me. Unless they need someone tall to change the lightbulbs in the clubrooms. A third round for Seaby seems over the money.

Re: why the swans want him is anyone's guess. The smaller ground might suit him better. Maybe Roos, who was the guy interested in him, saw a particular role for him to play etc. The thing to remember is Roos slated interest about 2 months ago, so I'm not convinced that it's about Jolly leaving but that's not to say it isn't.

 

[wholelottafun]

Re: Gibson's ready to move..

Seaby actually isnt that bad........probably as good as Jolly was before he moved from Melbourne to the Swans.

 

[Flag08]

Re: Gibson's ready to move..

Losing Willo will free up a bit of room in the cap for Burgo and Gibbo. Next year we may be struggling tho.

Not so sure about that. Kipster said he's really struggling in the WAFL these days. Perhaps the change of scenery will do him good.

Back page in Hutchy's section. Not sure if that page makes it online.

Have to disagree on Seaby. He is very very average. Despite Taylor and Renouf's drawbacks, they can provide significantly more than Seaby.

Re Seaby posters saying he's crap ect he would be better than Taylor & Renouf IMO

Nah, the addition of Seaby would just give us an extra layer of crap.

But in all seriousness, with proper ruck coaching, unlike this year, I'm confident Taylor can become more effective. And and as for Renouf, still young, and can see a huge upside to him.

Important point. Despite some of the stupid things he does, he does have alot of raw talent that really needs some astute coaching to ensure this talent and potential is harnessed optimally.
