Look, it was still a disaster losing to them, potentially difference between making finals and not. But they’re a decent side actually
The Poo and Wee jumper wearers are a very good young side and we should have beat them on their home deck. Opportunity lost last week but proves we’re still up and about… plus we beat Sydney ⚓️ we right!

Macrae asked him to move on because he went to the horse races the night before the Grand Final. Otherwise Schultz wouldve gone somewhere like Carlton with no small fwd depth.
So?
He was public about that. To calm the nerves?
He’s 22 ffs.
Coming from Macrae who kept De Goey around after being jailed in USA and told to not go to Bali.

How is it a disaster just going down to the form team in the comp in Tassie? It would be as hard a game to win as Sydney at SCG right now
 
Hawks coming good so quick is the perfect example of why a midseason trade period would be the worst possible thing for Non-Victorian teams.

They've brought in the following (not including late pick swaps)
Meek - O'Meara and received a 2nd round pick
Ginnivan - 2nd round pick
Scrimshaw - 3rd round pick
Chol - 2nd round pick
Amon - Free Agent
Frost - 2nd round pick
Gunston - Brandon Ryan and received a 2nd round pick
D'Ambrosio - 3rd/4th round picks
Impey - 2nd/3rd round picks

And if you believe rumours they'll likely pick up Battle as a free agent +/- Bailey Smith via trade this offseason.

I'd hazard a guess that just about 1-2 of the above players would've even considered a trade to a WA team. And about half of them would've been traded mid season should that have been an option.

It's far, far easier to rebuild as a Victorian team.
