Thornton poised to join Hawks

[Smell The Glove]

WOW!!! All I have to say is, Whippersnapper, get a life. Honestly, someone who has a life would not have the time of the day to sit there and pick out so much crap from someone else's posts. What's it matter to you what we say? At the end of the day it doesn't matter what we think, or even what you think, it matters what the Carlton and Hawthorn officials think thats going to count. I would continue on but, unlike yourself, I have a life to go live.

Nup, never said Hawthorn posters (or Calrotn posters) have any bearing on trading deals- I've been mentioning that fact from day one. Oh, and who has a life- you are the one who posts on this thread at 12:30 in the morning just to berate me- I feel so special.

So let me get this straight, you go to another board with an alleged 'facetious' mindset, suggesting that Goddard be traded for Pick 19 and Goddard and are suprised by the reaction you got by Saints fans?

Nope- never said I was surpirised. And the point I'm trying to get across, and you keep missing, is that I never suggested anything. It takes common sense to realise I'm not in the Carlton recruiting department, and neither are they in St Kilda's.

No, but attempting to convince others that you only posted with a 'facetious/tongue-in-cheek' mindset and expected a reasonable response is arrogance.

A reasonable response would have to have said 'In your dreams' and laughed the idea off or something like that, instead of the *** off you Carlton ****, trying to ***ing steal our ***ing players etc etc. line that I got. Case of St Kilda supporters wetting their pants over a very minor statement- shows how sensitive they are.

'Entice', let me quote your exact words,

Entice, hunt- in the AFL they mean exactly the same thing. You cant do one wth out the other.

So again, you are expecting a 'reasonable' response where you speak figuratively of 'hunting' Goddard (a much valued player at St Kilda), grossly undervalueing his worth, yet your ire is raised when Hawk fans allegedly do the same to a contracted Blues player.

Again I never undervalued him- if you had have read the entie thread you would have realised that, instead of rehashing the same, tired first post of mine- someone else did, and I used that statement as a bit of tongue in cheek as you put it. Why dont you post some of my other posts in that thread relating to Goddard philhawk?

They're in strife? Oh, very nice idea by the way trying to raise their ire.

Now you just make no sense- again, that was the general theme of the threa don our board, not mine. Stop putting words or meaning into my posts.

For starters, you had posts editted there for personal abuse on your part of posters in the Saints forum. Secondly, you posted rubbish like this to 'justify' your reasoning.

Whats your point? Like all of these inane replies- none.

Laughable.

Yes, your post is. And would you please give me some ACTUAL REASONING AS TO WHY MY POST THERE IS LAUGHABLE???

Sorry? So what were you doing here then?

I have absolutely no idea what you are even saying here- wasnt about me that statement- was about you, and is the exact reason as to why you are so arrogant. In fact, the fact that Carlton supporters have been so active in this thread only serves to reinforce how arrogant you Hawthorn supporters are- you need an audience of Carlton supporters to judge our reaction. Mine is that you are all a bunch of arrogant fools.

Well, when you post tripe like this, do you expect a powder puffed reply?

No, but you obviously do, at least in regards to your mod:

Ironic on so many levels. Just in case you didn't realize, Gary's a well respected poster on this board and just so happens to be the Moderator to boot. I daresay you'll be enjoying a nice break from the Hawthorn Board, hopefully for the remainder of the year.

Think your moderator is beyond reproach, do you?

Sorry, but why should we care about this? Do you need a hug or something?

Just showing how you Hawthorn supporters overract to any comment that isnt to your liking (ie. calling you arrogant). We take it on the chin, something you crybabies obviously arent capable of.

Yet you continually take time to reply.

Yep, sure do. Now its interesting, plus I think you are just generally a complete tool. so I'm prepared to make the effort. Or am I being racist, philhawk?

Gee, on one hand you've got to sympathize with Carlton for all the rotten luck written about in that article, but on the other hand, we could be on the verge of signing a very, very talented young player.

Take the famous Hawthorn beer goggles off and then seriously rate him.."very very talented is a fair stretch" then again I recall you blokes telling me Hay and Rawlings were good players too

Well if i post on the site at 12.30 in the morning (after coming back from the footy show grand final with friends, friends? you say, look it up in a dictionary) it just shows that have have better things to do with my day. And again, im not the one sitting there analysing phillhawks posts to pick little things out of them so that i can prove him wrong. Like i said, it should not matter what we say on here. Honestly, the only reason it affects you is because you made it affect you by opening your mouth. So how's about you shut it again and go back to your Carlton board.

For what its worth...

Caroline Wilson beleives that the Thornton to Hawthorn deal is already done and dusted.

Oh damn, so it looks like he's not coming to us after all.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

so have we all agreed on:

Pick 24 + Whatever pick you get for Spida ?

Not really.

As Bojangles 'nicely' pointed out mad: ), I really do rate him highly, but I don't want us paying over the odds for him. Mojo suggested at another forum that Thornton would be worth a pick in the 10-15 range in this draft. If we were to snab Pick 15 from Sydney for Spida, i'd really only offer that and allow us to pick a pacey midfielder with our second round pick.

This isn't a snub on Thornton's talent, rather the fact that I don't want us paying over the odds on for him.

 

[mcphee_is_a_gun]

You wont get pick 15 for someone of Everitt's age imo. The best you'll possibly get is a 2nd rder.

 

[Bennycoff]

Yeah a second rounder would be good and we trade that to Carlton and get Thornton.

 

[Silvagnis]

Thornton is rumoured to be signing a three year deal very soon and this isn't a Bigfooty rumour.

 

[Fastback]

Thornton is rumoured to be signing a three year deal very soon and this isn't a Bigfooty rumour.

does the rumour include club or just what we already gathered?

 

[Silvagnis]

Doh!

The club is Carlton.

Must have been speaking to his manager cause he's the one doing all the talking , anybody considered that this a routine contract negotiation tactic being carried out by Thornton's manager to up the ante .
How often do we see that player X will leave his club over the terms of his contract ie length or base payments , his manager says he has an offer from team A (insert club rebuilding playing list) and a week later he signs a revised contract offer with the Quote " i was never going to leave the club"
By the way every player going overseas gives his manager a power of attorney so read nothing into that one

 

[lethalselbow]

Signed, sealed and delivered... almost.

After watching the GF - Sydaknee need Everitt! Excellent. We're going to get something decent for him and maybe a 3 way deal with Thornton is the go!

 

[kolchak]

I couldn't care less if Thornton came to hawthorn or not. I could not care less about what some bozo carlton supporter thinks about hawthorn either.

 

[lethalselbow]

Bring him on. We need another defender.

 

[kolchak]

Bring him on. We need another defender.

We need big athelitic men. Does Thornton fit that bill?

Big athletic men? Why not just look at the athletics team then?

We need guys who can play footy I would have thought.

Thats a good idea...Lets do that rather than looking at the bottom team.

 

[cs61]

No, lets look through the list of every club and work out whether there could be some players of value that we could benefit from. Thornton would fall under that category.

 

[kolchak]

Can u answer me if he is a big fast player? I dont know what his physical attributes are?

 

[cs61]

Ummm he's a 2nd defender/fullback type. Not quick, not slow, but can take a decent opponent.

I'm not sure how many tall quick talented players are going around in trade week to be honest.....

 

[Silvagnis]

Signed, sealed and delivered... almost.

He's about to re-sign with Carlton for three years.

 

[MC_9]

we do not need a athletic backman, what we need is a player that can take the oppositions number 1 forward, and hold them to a few goals. We already have plently of athletic backman with jacobs and croad.
