Early in the week Hawthorn were asking for a round 1 pick for Everitt... How the hell that bloke who was hawthorns back up ruckman this year was valued by pelchen to be worth a round 1 pick is beyond me! Two years everitt is gone if injury doesnt get the better of him in the mean time yet thornton still has 8-10 years left in him, aged at 22 with 91 games under his belt. With a little more support down back, say throw him into a backline with dawson, jacobs, roughead etc he would of been a valuable cog in hawthorns backline. BUT pelchens over inflated ego got the better of him and instead of offering up pick 6 he wanted to throw two cheap second rounders at carlton, meh pathetic and the deal got what is deserved. Thornton is now signed for three years and I hope he bites the DAWKS on the butt!
