Re: Pick 9 + Campbell Brown for Burgoyne??

WOW! This is getting seriously out of hand why the hell are we overrating Shaun Burgoyne so much he's not Chris Judd FFS. Would much rather keep Browny heart and soul of the club and I'm not even a hawks supporter.

If this happens Port will come out huge winners.....
 
Re: official: pick 9 & Brown for burgoyne

He didnt help us to a flag last year or anything did he??

He doesnt bleed brown and gold does he?

I dont give a shit what his of field reactions are it just showed how much he cares for other teams mates and sticks up for them in anyway shape or form.

Judge him if you want but you cant deny that he is the heart and soul of hawthorn.

Tim Clarke was the a "heart and soul of the group" as well and we let him go when he no longer had a position in the team.

I hate it but I understand. The best way to improve as a team is to look ahead and cut early as sad as that is.

Please note I'm not pleased with the trade but I think I understand the club's intention.

You're absolutely right. There's a slight difference between Chris Judd + pick 46 for picks 3, 20 and Josh Kennedy rather than Shaun Burgoyne for pick 9 + Campbell Brown.
 
Re: Pick 9 + Campbell Brown for Burgoyne??

Who in the hell are you? Grow up you moron or piss off. I am perfectly entitled to my opinion. At least it was put forward with some logical thought, some background information and some structure. Empathy to Brown and supporters is only one aspect of this but some of you are carrying on as thought CB is some sort of superstar. He is not and never has been. He is simply a good, honest, tough footballer. Trades are part and parcel of the sport and it is not as though we have put Franklin, Hodge or Mitchell on the table. Campbell Brown is in our 16-25 group of players and is absolutely tradeable.

Oh, and one other thing....I can categorically tell you that Campbell Brown was recommended as a tradeable commodity by his own leadership group. That is a stone cold fact. So vent your annoyance in the right direction. No individual is bigger than the club.

Got it sport?:mad::rolleyes:

Absolutely entitled to your opinion, I think it's poor form for posters to start going at each others throats.

At the same time, I'm entitled to passionately disagree with your opinion.
I think Mad Dog is much more important to our club than Mighty Mouse.
Their nicknames alone just about sum it up. In our premiership year we played hard, tough, unsociable football. I think those three adjectives would apply pretty well to our dream-teams of the 80's as well.

The two teams that made the Grand Final this year - St. Kilda and Geelong, played a hard, tough, high-pressure, tackle heavy brand of football.

Brown is a player who while lacking on skill, makes up for it with all of that sort of stuff in spades. You have to take more into account than pure skill.
 
Re: Pick 9 + Campbell Brown for Burgoyne??

Just emailed Jeff Kennett, all of you who have taken the time to post, should write an email as well,

We are 23 pages and counting on BigFooty, if everybody emails the President this will show our anger.

Subject : Do not trade Campbell Brown

Jeff,

I wanted to express my anger and disappointment at the rumoured deal that Campbell Brown is getting Traded to Port Adelaide.

Brown loves the club, and is part of the fabric of the club, trading him will be a big mistake.

This deal should not go ahead, you cannot trade heart and soul types like Campbell away this deal, what message does this send to the young Hawthorn players.

Please do not let this happen.

Regards

Mark
 
Re: Pick 9 + Campbell Brown for Burgoyne??

I don't buy that.

I guess this gives Tom Murphy another lifeline.


Buy it or don't buy it mate, I really don't care.

You haven't been around here long enough to understand my bona fides. Those that have will confirm that I do not make comments such as that without the facts.

Brown was recommended by his own leadership group as somebody that is tradeable. That is not to say that they specifically wanted him traded but that he was somebody that is not seen as critical to our next flag tilt. That is a fact. Whether you and others want to believe it is entirely your call.

One thing is certain, based on the above, the anger directed at Pelchen and Co. is somewhat misguided.
 
Re: Pick 9 + Campbell Brown for Burgoyne??

Im shocked the Brown has been offered as I have always been led to believe that the Hawks were the family club

first Croad now Brown, both lads absolutely bleed for the club, this has the potential to do some serious damage to the playing group

I'm in shock
 
Re: official: pick 9 & Brown for burgoyne

im no hawks fan .. but you guys are getting ripped off... i would say burgoyne is probably worth either but not bother.
 
Re: Pick 9 + Campbell Brown for Burgoyne??

I am only outsider and don't know the internal situation, but to me something like this could rip the heart and soul out of the club. I remember Campbell Brown running into the goalpost trying to stop a goal in that elim final against Adelaide in 07, he is as tough as they come and lifts the team with play such as this.

If true Pelchin and Clarkson must be very careful. Eventually someone like Buddy could see this and think "Stuff it, if this is how they really treat loyal servants then I may as well chase the moolah rather than continue accepting well below market rate salary". I think Hawthorn are on the verge of something great and don't have to resort to risky measures, this year you were completely decimated by injury.
 
Re: Pick 9 + Campbell Brown for Burgoyne??

People saying that there is no place for emotion / sentiment during trade week don't understand our 2008 Grand Final win.
 
Re: Target - 10,000 Emails to Jeff by COB today

AFL: "Rhode, sign here, here and... here."
AFL: "Pelchen, sign here, here and... here."

Rhode: "yep... done."
Pelch: "aaaaah hang on, before I do I'll just ring Jeff and ask him to check his email..."

:rolleyes:

Lets just see what happens first shall we? Trust the club :)

Re: Pick 9 + Campbell Brown for Burgoyne??

over my dead body
I've emailed the club. This is a disaster and will screw the club from the inside, bullshit about Hodgy doesn't help either. Burgoyne is not worth it and may find Hawthorn an unpleasant place to be . Browny is the heart and soul of Hawthorn spirit, plus he's a great footballer .Stuff Burgoyne and bloody Port. Fancy him playing along side that ugly bloody Tredray. This better not be true. Email the club people let them no he's OUR PLAYER.
 
Re: Pick 9 + Campbell Brown for Burgoyne??

Anyone who says they are not going to buy a membership next year because of this is a flog. My membership is to support the team not the individual.

Go and barrack for Carlton hand back your duffel coat badges.
 
Re: Pick 9 + Campbell Brown for Burgoyne??

Seriously...

What a f*cking nightmare of a year, and just a we start to turn it around with Josh Gibson and an A-Grade midfielder we got an do something f**king stupid like this.

Thanks Clarko!
 
Re: Pick 9 + Campbell Brown for Burgoyne??

Fixed it for you !

I think you'll see that his inside and clearance work are exceptionally. When up and about he provides a lot of tackles around the packs aswell. He is no Danyle Pearce outside reciever.

thanks for your concern but please stop trying to act concerned about our Football club.

You need to worry about your own fabric with what Lloyd and Sheedy have done over the past 3 years with the backstabbing.
 
Re: Target - 10,000 Emails to Jeff by COB today

Obviously if these rumours are true then a valid reason must also exist. So maybe hold off on burning down Hawk HQ until all the facts are known?

Bingo, Pelchen and AC would have held some very serious discussion about this and I am sure if the leadership group had said no way then that would be the end of it.

As a Hawk member I also love Brownys passion but I also loved Croad and was shattered when he was traded (look how well that ended up for us)

I have read posts from people saying they will tear up their memberships if this deal gets done.

I fully appreciate that it's an emotional time but never never never ever forget.

The Club is bigger than the individuals.

We were happy enough to slap Clarko and Pelchen on the back for delivering our 10th Premiership.

How about we give them the benefit of the doubt and at least acknowledge they just might know a bit more than the average supporter about what is best for our team in the pursuit of our 11th Flag
 
Re: Pick 9 + Campbell Brown for Burgoyne??

This isn't about a emotion. I get that its a business and players need to be traded. But it's just way overpaying.

Anyone that thinks Browny isn't in a our best 22 is living in the magical land with the magical man. He's a dam good footballer. He's not just some hack that has guts.

He had a bad 2009 but who didn't ? He was still better than Burgoyne in 09.
