Re: Mitch Thorp?
And we're still more feared in the competition than your mob. Sad, eh?

Diver Dan, the gay icon from Windy Hill certainly seems terrified of the boys from Tassie.

Re: Mitch Thorp?
I would doubt he will be traded unless a club wishes to put an offer to the Hawks that they could not refuse.
He is contracted for 1 more year and next year its time for him to perform and show improvement.
In regards to his attitude problem, he is still young and immature but a very confident young man. Has the passion to make it in the AFL but his body is letting him down. Mitch need to learn and focus in his preparation and the talent will speak for themselves.
As for his injury, I would assume the Hawks will be patient with it similiar to Dowler.

We saw the fear etched on the faces of Essendon as Campbell Brown slapped them silly.
Re: Mitch Thorp?
One of the problems Hawthorn face is to find some key defenders and to do that they will need to make some decisions and Thorp may be one of the options that they will look at trading as right now this may be the difference between being a real flag threat in 2010, as the Hawks look quite thin down back.

Re: Mitch Thorp?
And then other clubs don't want to pay full freight because of injury problems. At the end of the day, it's unlikely that a trade will get done in these circumstances - the Hawks (rightly) think he's worth a bit because of what he could become) and other clubs (rightly) don't think he's worth as much because of the risk.

Re: Mitch Thorp?
IMO, defenders are not a pressing need.
Croad may or may not return. Lisle, Schoenmaker, Gilham are options. However Lisle and Schoey need a few years in the system to be established. Dowler could be option but is better placed forward. Thorp is an unknown due to his injury and the trump card is Roughead could be used.
Rucks is the major problem. This is were Sam Jacobs, Hampson or Warnock are of interest. I doubt the Hawks are willing to trade a forward like Dowler or Thorp for these players unless 1st rounder is offered. That is just my opinion.

Re: Mitch Thorp?
Fair point. Been a while since a team has ****ed up as bigtime as your lot following a flag. Humiliating to be pulling out the various excuses all season.
Why are you talking about Essendon?
Team fail.

I see the Hawthorn arrogance hasn't been erased even after your laughable season, poor Hawthorn.

We're still the reigning premiers; albeit only for another three weeks.

Gibson to leave Norf
and Waverly bound apparently.
The Hawks are gonna be bidding aggressively, (~800k over 3yrs). So you think the Carlton Board should have a shot at out bidding, and if so what would you give?
Personally, I think they should have a crack at him, maybe even offer up first round draft pick.
He'd plug a lot of gaps in our defense.

Re: Gibson to leave Norf
Gibson is very overrated and I think over the last few years he has had the most goals kicked on him out of all the full backs.
Much rather have a crack at lake or goose maguire to be honest.
You put waite and jamo back in our team and our back 6 look a whole lot better.

Re: Gibson to leave Norf
Is more an athletic defender that punches above his weight class than a genuine key position player IMO. Much like Thornton and Bower. I think he is pretty good but not what we need especially when it comes to a bidding war.

Re: Gibson to leave Norf
Good player but not the sort of defender that we need. As ODN said, he'd be competing with Thornton and Bower and the difference between GIbson and those 2 is not a difference worth trading or trying to out-bid another club.
If he somehow found his way to the club then of course I'd welcome him but to trade for him and enter a bidding war for his services would be a ridiculous decision by the club.

Re: Gibson to leave Norf
Lake would be awesome, but Dogs are clamping hard on him. My argument for a first round would be that having him in the backline would give Waite more time up front and playing CHF.
Its more of a band-aid solution as developing Kreuzer into that would take a couple of seasons. Think it would be good for a flag tilt.
But Hawks seem a certainty at this stage.

Re: Gibson to leave Norf
We need an attacking defender such as Heath Shaw or Gilbee.
We don't need a player like Josh Gibson.
Hawthorn will offer North Simon Taylor and Thomas Murphy.
They will struggle to match Hawthorn's offer.
Is Gibson the female footballer Kennett wanted?

Re: Gibson to leave Norf
YES!!! Let's get another defender!!!
Then we can play Jamison, Bower, Austin, Thornton, Waite and Gibson in the backline together!! Good luck beating the height of that backline I tells ya!!
Fingers crossed the ball doesn't hit the ground though
