a few minutes thought, and a quick look at the list, has me in two minds. we might be better off trying to get a tapscott/cunnington or koby stevens at #10 and letting the kids develop together.

Id love to get him to North. Would offer Hale + a late round pick for him.
2004, That was five years ago right? Wayne Carey was still playing AFL then. Alot of water has gone under the bridge since then.

Those two sentences don't belong together. Hale and a first round pick, maybe. Hale and a late round pick, not even close.
Yeah rofl mate, we're talking about a 27 year old midfielder who averages 16 touches per game, and a 25 year old ruck/forward, taken with a higher pick than Burgoyne, who has had a poor season but is still in his prime as footballer. Keep dreaming mate.

Yeah, David Hale is better than Shaun Burgoyne 
. Try finding one other person who agrees with you on that.

LOL. Wow, just wow.
Hale is in his prime? How bad was he before he reached peak form?

Can you just highlight the section of my post where I said Hale was better than Burgoyne and then cut&puste and email it to learntoread@theschoolforkidswhocantreadgoodandstuff.com.
All I said was that Burgoyne is a perrenial unerachiever, he has only had over 30 possessions 3 or 4 times in his career IIRC, and you are dreaming if you think you are going to get a first round pick for him at 27/28, let alone a first rounder and ruck/forward who is still only 25. Now lets get this straight, I don't rate Hale particularly highly, but I certainly don't rate Burgoyne either. He's had one good year, where he was a good player. Otherwise his impact has been sub par, and he aint getting any younger, so its not like he's going to get much better. However, if he wants to go, he wants to go, and you guys will take what someone's willing to give.
Would kill off Burgoyne at the Hawks.
Would put pick 9 on the table.
God he'd make our midfield awesome.

^^^ Where'd you hear that?
Yeah well, it wouldn't be the first time that its happened at that club either.
Giansiracusa & Hahn for S. Burgoyne?

Was spoken about on SEN...so take it for what its worth...Has asked for a trade to a club that is in contention...clubs that where mentioned where ..HAWKS(whats new this year ), Cats,Saints....Swans also mentioned.
Hawks should make a MASSIVE play for him.
What's his contract status?
Out of Contract.
I'm sure Alastair Clarkson would know him from Port Adelaide days?
Tip to any AFL Club that seeks his services:Send him on holidays overseas so you can get him in the National Draft(A.K.A Josh Carr style leaving Fremantle)

geelong couldn't fit lovett into their cap. no way they could fit burgoyne imo. especially with GC likely to offer selwood a fortune next year.
the hawks will start to creep up on their cap in the next year or two as premiership stars start looking for just reward, too.

Yea, but players generally put money as a secondary consideration when they want to stay somewhere.
If he's on the move, and just wants out of the Power, you'd expect, within reason, money to be a massive consideration. Not saying he'd go to Freo if they threw bags of money at him, but if it was between, say, the Hawks and the Dogs, and one could offer him 15-20% more, it'd be a huge factor.

Burgoyne would add an extra element of class to our midfield. It would also permit Clarkson to leave Rioli as a permanent crumbing forward rather than having to run him through the midfield like this year. Rioli at the feet of Roughie and Bud would put the fear of God into rebounding defenders. Getting Burgoyne to the club could have a number of knock-on effects to the way we structure up in 2010.
I'm not so sure that a key defender is the top priority. I think the Hawks need a competent ruckman more because the Hawks gave away so many free gifts to our opponents due to boneheaded ruckmen. For mine, the order of priority should be:
1. Ruckman
2. Key defender
3. Silk midfielder.

great argument champ, I am in awe of your rebuttal.

So that makes him a great player, and not an under-achiever?

I really hope Carlton make a play for Shaun Burgoyne, he's great. If we do try to get him though I'd imagine Shaun Grigg would be involved with the trade.
