Re: Big Moose's Mega Thread - Who Should We Target? Draft/Trade Rumours, Speculation & Opinions
You are just being ridiculous.
Chris Tarrant was a rare and exquisite talent, however due to a number of factors, including severe lack of application, that never fully translated onto the football field on a consistent basis - that is wasted talent.
Has Anthony got the talent of Tarrant - obviously not - I never said he did, you did.
Could we get the same output from Anthony as a KPD as we would from Tarrant? I believe we could, and given the ages of the two, Anthony could surpass it.
Now, unless you've got something to add besides your smartarse little jibes, you can go and sit in the corner or better still, come up with that list of assistant coaches during the Hird years - I'm still waiting for that.

Wasn't it Jack Anthony who had that little altercation with Buddy in a club a few years back? May not be someone we want.
Having said that, he probably has the talent to be of some value to us.

"minus the talent of Tarrant"
What I was driving at is: taking talent out of the equation is patently ridiculous.
Quite correct.
Where? I said the exact opposite.
"minus the talent of Tarrant"
Yep, fair enough, I just don't believe he is that good.

Re: Big Moose's Mega Thread - Who Should We Target? Draft/Trade Rumours, Speculation & Opinions
I'm a big fan of Tarrant work at full-back the last two years and definitily think if Collingwood can't get it done, he would be a great fit for us over the next two years. There is no doubt he would improve our back six.
Another trade i'm interested in is Daniel Motlop. Motlop is without doubt one of the most talented players in the AFL. He is also, it seems, one of the least disciplined. There's a lot of talk that he's leaving Port Adelaide and his currency could not be lower.
No doubt Motlop would be a risk. But for the cost of a third rounder or so he has enormous upside and could play as our third forward in a very similiar vien to Mark Williams. There's also the Port Adelaide link again, so I assume Clarko and more recently Bourgoune would have good insights about him.
Word is that Motlop is keen to go back to Western Australia (where his son lives) but it would at least be worth enquiring. http://www.couriermail.com.au/sport...motlop-back-soon/story-e6frepf6-1225924733461
Just a thought.

If anyone is need of a good laugh, or a bit of a "pick me up" today, go and have a read of the Hawks facebook page and some of the trade suggestions listed there today, comedy gold.

No more "undisciplined" players for mine. I'm growing a little tired of seeing failed players due to attitude and lack of application. Not worth the risk, for the two minutes of exquisite skill every 3rd game he plays.
Re: Big Moose's Trading and Draft Mega Thread PART 2
Yeah I was laughing at that stuff too... although to be fair, I didn't read a lot of those as "trade suggestions", more as a fantasy kind of thing - if you could have any other player at your club, who would it be?...

Re: Big Moose's Trading and Draft Mega Thread PART 2
Yeah that is a fair point but stilll, I always look forward to reading the posts on the Hawks facebook page, it is absolute insanity.

Yep, it's more feral than the Bay after a loss (and sometimes even a win) - and they are apparently Hawks supporters!

Re: Big Moose's Trading and Draft Mega Thread PART 2
Some options I hope we look at:
1. Throw alot at Mitch Clark to get a young gun ruckman. We'd almost certainly lose our 1st rd pick or Browns compo pick, probably a player and a fair chunk of salary cap meaning we'd be limited for any other deals, maybe could get Josh Hill as there doesn't appear the same interest or demand for him as other players. Would still have a 1st rd/end of 1st rd pick to add young talent. Depending on the Peterson and Hooper situation we may have to chase a Hill or Djerrika type anyway IMO.
2. Chase Tarrant and maybe Tambling if they're fit, and hold onto our 1st rd pick and the Brown compo pick, use these on the 2 best midfielders available or the best kpp and midfielder available, probably picks 19&27? Could also get Hale for the compo pick and use the other on the best quick midfielder available. I think either would be a good result, Tarrant/Tambling/1st rd pick/End of 1st rd pick or Tarrant/Tambling/Hale/1st rd pick.
3. Minimal activity, hang onto our early picks and the compo pick, back in our young kids a bit more and go to the drafts.

Re: Big Moose's Trading and Draft Mega Thread PART 2
Just in re: Motlop....
"Saints in talks with reluctant Motlop. Wants to head West but doesn't fit into either clubs plans so is exploring options"
If this is true perhaps Hawks are a chance as well. Although i totally except the comment from people that don't won't more trouble at the club.
Source: spyandsource on Twitter. Check out his tweets.
For what it's worth, his other news includes:
"Mitch Clark to stay with Brisbane. Reports of Voss fallout exaggerated."
"Lot's of Vic clubs enquiring about Luke Shuey's availability. Expected to stay in Perth but WC could be tempted by mid/late 1st round pick"
"Expect a straight swap of A.Walker for A.Everitt early on in trade week."

Re: Big Moose's Trading and Draft Mega Thread PART 2
This has probably come up long ago, but read on twitter by a guy named deepthroat (may be an alias) that we are looking at Melbourne's Matthew Warnock.
Pretty sure it was mentioned a while back that he is unhappy with a lack of opportunity.
Would certainly fill the FB position and from I've seen he is no frills but a pretty solid competitor, anyone else heard anything?
Would be cheaper than Tarrant and give us 5 years of footy, would prefer him over Thornton and we don't seem keen on Thursfield.

Re: Big Moose's Trading and Draft Mega Thread PART 2
I honestly don't think we need to worry so much about our back line. Kids who have a good first year normally have quieter second years. Shoey, Milne are all solid down back and shoey is becoming a monster. I think we have some serious talent with Leise (sticky hands) to be a 3rd option down foward even release roughy to CHF where he can kick through the pill.
I think we need to focus on more run and carry type players this is were we lack a little. Bailey if he can stand up will take the pressure off our rucks but we now have a good cover there Skipper and I like Tayor if injury free will offer plenty this year (GF in 08 sapped if confidence) Lowden is good just developing but needs to have a taste this year. Looking at kids who kick well and break the lines that is what we need.

Re: Big Moose's Trading and Draft Mega Thread PART 2
Also this from S&S
SpyandSource Blues apparently are not at all keen on Everitt and his attitude, and have knocked back a straight swap last week. about 10 hours ago via web

FFS this Spysource person is an attention seeking little kid making up trades (just like any of a dozen punters on this site), and everyone is falling for it.

Injury Prone. Thornton no thanks. Warnock(Where does that leave Schoey?) yes thanks. Tarrant an absolute yes!
