Universal Love Thanks Cyril, 11 amazing years, One of the greatest Hawks

[KermitJagger]

How is he under contract if he's retired?

He will have to be traded, same as Hodge was. You can't just retire to get out of a contract unless you're released.

 

[Harper_Hawk]

Ummm...

If this eventuates. I'd say Clarkson will have a hard time shaking Hodges hand next time they have a reunion.

 

[user33]

If this eventuates I will lose total respect for him

That's a little much.

But it would be a mighty hard pill to swallow. I would hope that we wouldn't just give him away for a pick in the 60s but we most likely will if this eventuates.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Can confirm I am pushing to **** a supermodel next year

 

[KermitJagger]

If this is the case, I think Hawthorn have done enough for the rest of the league. We can stop helping them all up now. Almost every club has Hawthorn IP.

Yea no matter what happens he will always be a Hawthorn legend and always deserves respect from the fans, but we would be well within our rights to ask for more on this one.

He is younger than those other guys and has a lot more to offer as well as being contracted for another 2 years. I am sure we would want to be accommodating to him but would also have a

 

[Jane Doe]

Some people ...

Why is that? He came out a month ago and said he has had enough. All of sudden 4 weeks later he could be right to go again. Does that sit well with you? It sure as hell doesn’t sit well with me. He is under contact and I hope we play hard ball.

 

[Hodginator]

This is complete and utter rubbish.

Not potting you Hodginator but Ronnie Burns admitted as much.

The worst and most inaccurate rumor i have ever heard.

Hawthorn have treated Cyril in a way never seen by a club in a good way.

There is zero chance he plays for anyone else.

Yeah, I wasn’t watching, just saw it on twitter so thought it was worth sharing. What do you mean when you say he admitted it was rubbish? What was actually said?

 

[TheFourPillars]

He aint coming back

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Cyril is one bloke I'd be absolutely stunned if he did a backflip... I wish we had him fit and firing for us in this latter stage of the season now we are going ok.

 

[user33]

Hodge just said on Twitter that it's the first he's heard of it and would love to know the blokes sources lol

We are doing a lot more than the AFL to equal the playing field between all the clubs. Players, administrators, coaches, and of course dollars. Would expect a first round pick. However we should wait until we hear something from Cyril, which I hope is a not interested.

You know what? I'm with you on this one...

 

[TAITA]

People need to chill and park the pitchforks. If you are going to 'lose all respect for Cyril' on the back of a scurrilous, unconfirmed rumour - you might want to have a bit of a think about that.

Hodge and Cyril at the Lions...

You’d almost have to start barracking for Brissy!

It's all Fages fault.

 

[beta_condition]

How is he under contract if he's retired?

You can't retire to just null and avoid a contract.

 

[GerryLewis]

You can't retire to just null and avoid a contract.

Exactly. A trade would need to be made... just like Hodge but waaaaaay better picks.

I remember a reporter saying Hodge would play on at another club and he laughed at it.

 

[Luv_our_club]

Personally i would like to see Cyril playing for the Lions next year, if that is what it takes to get him back in the game. I just love watching him play.

If that happens it would come with a trade reward for Hawthorn too.

The fact Sam Mitchell considered leaving in 2011... that is more of a shock to my system.

I think it's a shock in retrospect, but at the time the Hawks were a very up and down team undergoing changes, and Sammy had just basically been forced to hand over the captaincy. He's certainly got enough pride to be knocked around by that stuff. Very very lucky he stayed, he and Hodge were the most important cogs in the 2012-2015 machine.

I feel totally settled on Cyril. He owes this club nothing, and if he goes to play for Brisbane then it's win/win/win as far as I'm concerned.

We get a pick in the trade/Cyril gets to play/we still get to watch.

I haven't read Sam's book yet, so hopefully there are some answers there. I suspect they would be along the lines of your post. It reminds me that us supporters often know little of what is actually going on inside the club. I never dreamed of Sam leaving in 2011... but perhaps it came as a shock to Clarko too...But Sam has some hard edges... exactly what you need to coach.

I think / i hope that Sam is more a Hawk than ever after the 3 peat.

And the fact that us Hawks embraced him after he left the club...I think that might have clinched it for him. Well done us.

Yep. I still think this is a chance

Is Beams still wanting to come to Melbourne?
