Ugh, it hurts.

I can't see why we can't offer something similar. 1 year playing then 1 year as indigenous officer or development coach...

Guess these decisions was what Jeff was referring to in his previous email to members

The irony that Gold Coast will have a player click over 400 games while on their list.

I can only imagine 400 games is a major driver for him and we can only guarantee 1 year playing where Gold Coast may be offering 2

Probably a truckload of AFL ambassador money as well

Can't blame him as he deserves it

 

[Manila_Hawk]

For most people, you would think its just a way to pad out the superannuation.
For Silk, I genuinely believe that he just wants to keep playing footy !

It will be a sad day when it happens....

All the signs pointing to it.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Deserved a send off

 

[Rich the babe Evans]

I'd rather trade Mitch Lewis then lose the GOAT... yes this is a very emotional post... If anybody wants me I'll be sobbing in the corner.

Lost for words.

It's interesting how primed we are for this now, however, after Lewis, Mitch, Hodge, etc, all the assistants. We're pretty much used to champions moving on when their time runs short.

The good news is that the Suns need a guy like this. Someone who can lead players not just on the field but more importantly off. Someone who is universally admired by peers. It's sad for me, but happy/sad. I'm glad that he's continuing the tradition of spreading the Hawthorn magic around the league. Were I in the Hawthorn administration I would be very proud, although still sad, of the large and lasting positive influence the club has on the league.

Very sorry to see Silk go. So proud to see him do his thing, though.

Pick 1 thanks. Anything less can GAGF. Mitchell, Hodge and Hill all left far too cheaply. Brisbane with a top 2 finish thanks to our charity. Gold Coast with their worst ever season and completely helpless will make finals with burgoyne, they need to pay up for that kind of leadership and contribution. I don't care how old he is he will be their best and most decorated player to ever be on their list.

Pick 1 thanks. Anything less can GAGF.

And their priority pick...

 

[badgrill]

You just know he's going for a 3rd to 4th rounder

 

[badgrill]

Straight swap for Martin?

 

[Carl Spackler]

I reckon a 3rd rounder would be good. His best value is off the field and to get anything for that is a great return.

And a second circumcision for the Coch if he hasn't had his first.
Otherwise his first with a newbie Moyle.

He's a UFA we wont get sweet bugger all, after losing Mitchell, Lewis, Hodge and Cyril over the last 4 years i'm dumb to players moving on, best of Luck Silk.

I'm just so thankful we never had see Cyril pull another jumper on.

Think he wants two more years, can't get to 400 on a one year deal

 

[MrPremiership]

Offer 1 year with a trigger for a 2nd. Something that triggers at 15 games played for example

 

[matsta1975]

Silk deserves to do what's best for his family he has given so much to us all on and off the ground.

When he kicked the goal in the last quarter the reaction towards our supporters i knew he was gone

Regardless of his decision, he will always be a Hawthorn great but if feel the time is just about right for all parties

Plus we look after him here we get his kids Father Son!

 

[Gralin]

And we might have, but we tend to do one year deals so its unlikely

If GC are offering him two years playing plus a third behind the scenes it's a lot more security than we can/will offer.

I'll be sad to see him go if that is what happens but totally understand the club not budging on the one year deals and totally understand Silk wanting to get to 400
