Hawk premiership teams need a genuine full size gorilla.

And now we've got one!
A very important puzzle piece obtained.

We'll done to all involved.

 

[Barry Damage]

so the late pick swap is sort of like pick 54 out for pick 60 ? thats not bad.

It’s funny how bad at maths Ralphey et al must be. The seriousness he was describing the f3 for f4 made it sound like hawks gave an arm and a leg when in reality it’s likely a 5 or 6 pick slide in a part of the draft where picks might even get passed on anyway . Best case scenario it’s a 1 pick slide

 

[Billyc]

Backline looking very solid now with Barrass and Battle.

Two men enter, one man leaves

Thoughts and prayers to Dom on Twitter. Who’d have thought a hashtag campaign to your 6 followers who aren’t bots wouldn’t yield results.

It was looking ‘solid’ before Barrass and Battle. Now it’s looking formidable…

Also, we do our best work with future fourths. It’s like a top 10 pick coming back our way

 

[ViperV10]

Happy with this, but will be important for everyone to remember it might take him a little while to adjust to how we defend, and how he fits into it. Has the attributes (and plenty of experience of course), but may take a little bit to lose the institutionalisation from WC's way of playing.

 

[Thunder1]

Ralph lol blokes has no idea
Up there with David (Wayne) King and Leigh Montugna
Remember him, the muppet who said tha tit is a 3, 5 or even 10 year rebuild and Sam Mitchell wo t be the coach of the next Hawthorn finals Win.

Apologies for the intrusion

You’ve got a real gem in TB, watching him over the last decade has been a real pleasure and he’s been one of our few bright sparks in a very dark period for the club.

He’s genuinely one of my all time favourite Eagles.

I hope he goes well for you!

 

[TylerDurden]

Welcome Tom!
Give him #24!

 

[amofootyfan]

Hawks always know this would happen as it gives Wet Toast a great offer get Warner from Sydney next year.
We have greatly strengthened an area that was a weakness when we saw when Sicily or Frost were out. Also gives us flex to move Sis forward and Weddle up to the wing.
I guess we are backing the improved growth in Ward and MacKenzie and trust we get Mitch Lewis back for a full year.
Personally i think we are still 1 really classy midfilder short (think Daicos, Bont, Will Ashcroft) but that may come in 2016 because we still have our 1st and 2nd rounders.
Compare that to Pies and Blues. They have gone all in for next year. Neither have a first round next year and blues dont have a pick until round 3.
Happy Hawker

Appreciate the sentiment. I also hope with a new coach Eagles become watchable again. The comp is better with 2 good teams from the West

 

[triangulation_squared]

Welcome Tom.

Backline is officially stacked

Impey Barass Frost
Scrim Battle Sicily

Frees up Weddle and Hardwick
Blanck, Serong and McCabe as depth

 

[Nugett]

So we haven't screwed ourselves for centuries?

Paul Roos must be shattered.

He is currently at Gerald Healy’s place, helping Gerald suck lemons

 

[Roddy]

Welcome Tom.

Backline is officially stacked

Impey Barass Frost
Scrim Battle Sicily

Frees up Weddle and Hardwick
Blanck, Serong and McCabe as depth

Frees up Hardwick to go where? Up forward, where we have Wiz, Ginni, our vc and AA small forward, C-mac, Punk for another year, etc?

We are indeed stacked.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Welcome Tom.

Impey Barass Frost

You're missing Amon.

Sicily, Weddle, Dimma can all go forward or up the ground with Battle and Barrass on board.

 

[Nugett]

Finally got our player. Let hope you emulate both James Frawley

[LRobbo]

Most flexible defence in the competition now.
We are absolutely spoiled for choice could genuinely have 10 blokes that could play in the defence

Think the best set up looks

Frost Barass Impey
Scrimshaw Battle Sicily

Hardwick, Amon, Weddle all can roll through there.

Barass will anchor that defence and mark everything.

 

[50metres]

We paid a lot, but it will be worth it. We'll have one hell of a defence, and it will be versatile

We actually only paid pick 14 (swapped with Carlton for a F1 and F2)

And we gave them our F3 (if we win the premiership it would be say pick 54)
And we got back their F4 (if they finish last it will be pick 55)

So essentially just paid pick 14

And we still hold F1, F2, F4 and F4 next year

I am breathless with anticipation to see TB in action for the B&G.

The negative, ‘wE gOt fLeEcEd!’ sooks can G&GF.

[westhawk]

Great get. Our back line is easily the best in the competition. Not only is TB a great player, but an excellent leader aswell. I just can’t see another team taking a mark against this defence.

Actually pick 14 was irrelevant in the end and unrelated to the deal. We traded that for the Carlton picks, which we have retained.

We traded our own F1, F2 and F3 for Barrass and F4.

 

[Agent Smith]

I just knew somehow a future fourth would find its way into the trade. But I guess that’s just how we roll.

Now we just need the 'Beast from the East' to become an absolute steal and be a dominant mid and... rebuild complete.

 

[Rocket72]

Frees up Hardwick to go where? Up forward, where we have Wiz, Ginni, our vc and AA small forward, C-mac, Punk for another year, etc?

Blake’s dad was a midfielder, maybe he’d go alright there
