Thechook Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 In addition to the big player moves by the Hawks, they also last week gave St Kilda two second-round picks (23 and 36) in this year’s draft and their first selection in the 2017 draft. The Saints coughed up picks 10 and 68 in the upcoming national draft in a trade that bamboozled most football experts. “I think a lot of other clubs are sitting there thinking, what the hell are they doing and what do they have up their sleeve?” explained Anderson. “When that deal got done the other day with St Kilda, the swap of picks – I spoke to a couple of other clubs over the weekend and they just scratched their heads. “They just thought it was one of the great lootings of all time (from St Kilda’s perspective). “St Kilda can’t lose out of that deal and it gives them some ammunition to trade back up this year or hold onto it next year, the question is what Hawthorn’s end game in all of this?” https://www.sen.com.au/news/2016/10/17/anderson-has-no-idea-what-hawks-are-up-to/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done and dusted fella...in the bag pearl handle steak knifes thrown in.....all for pick 88 and you can believe it.....I guess they thought originally that Lewis was the best option for trading to release $$$$ but woe and behold once Mitchell showed interest in moving to WCE Lewis was required, I'm guessing they only wanted to move on one veteran....in the end it backfired, some poor handling by the Hawks here and the Dee's are no slouches in trading for good players just hope Lewis doesn't spend his contract in sick bay as did Mitch Clarke and Dawes.....we just about sent HBA broke with those 2....

BookMan Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Is this Journo suggesting that Hawthorn will be making a play for Nat Fyfe next year? Or indeed suggesting it is a done deal? ++++++++ ...But they did sign them all. Presumably Clarkson returned to his conversations with these veterans as he did with Mitchell and Lewis and asked again in light of this year's finish if they remained keen to play on. If Mitchell was to have stayed on and retired at the end of next season and potentially Lewis also played through next year without a contract extension Hawthorn would have had five out the door at once. Only the Australian test team manages to contrive a cack-handed mass exodus like that. Hawthorn would have also cast an eye back over the season and felt they struggled in contested ball and clearances against the best teams this year. They needed to change the mix. Hawthorn had the money in their salary cap to afford to keep Mitchell and Lewis and yet bring in Ty Vickery, Tom Mitchell and Jaeger O'Meara. That means that should Lewis join Mitchell out the door the Hawks will save seven figures in wages next year, room that will mean they will front nd contracts and have huge scope for a big free agent in 12 months time. That might be the moment the unfathomable pieces of the past week finally fall more clearly into place. http://www.smh.com.au/afl/afl-trades-2016-making-sense-of-hawthorn-20161017-gs4aqn.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantSmith Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 If Clarko asked Lewis & Mitchell to take a pay cut, that'd be the 2nd time he's asked them to do it. No wonder they walked. I wonder if Emperor McGuire will be asking for the Hawks to be given a trade ban for the next 2 years? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There cooking up something for sure still they hadnt planned on loosing both Mitchell and Lewis at the same time, 1&2 B&F and captain and Vice captain they screwed up big time the mistake was to let Mitchell go, Lewis at 30 and 1 year left on a contract was very tradable Mitchell at 34 well who would have thought right? Still these 2 are out right champions there were 3 other veterans in there who had ordinary years who they choose to hang on to....why? Lewis was gone before Mitchell the Hawks jumped at the chance to off load Mitchell to WCE then tried to talk Lewis out of moving to the Dee's the problem was Lewis had 3 promised years with the Dee's only 1 at the Hawks...And Lewis had chosen Melbourne so I'm guessing merda and been brewing for a while.... In the end they wont miss them so much unless of course the core group of Hawks feel wronged, either this will kick start the Hawks or it could do the opposite and Alice could be looking for a new job in a season and a half... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will27 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Brian Lake said yesterday that he thinks Hawthorn traded Mitchell and possibly Lewis and kept Hodge and Burgoyne is because Hodge and Burgoyne can play on-ball, forward etc whereas Mitchell and Lewis are primarily on-ballers , 1 role players. He did say that the Lewis issue looked a bit untidy. He was of the opinion that he thought Lewis only had 1 good year left in him so could understand Hawthorn's position. I think the media have been really soft on Hawthorn over this. Probably scared of Clarkson. Norf got slaughtered the way they handled their player retirements. Could you imagine if Geelong treated their premiership hero's like this? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take Lewis in a heart beat at West Coast. A 2 year deal with an option/trigger clauses would've been perfect but sometimes all of the time, you have to give a bit more to get a player under contract.

Exactly... Toby Nankervis has requested a trade...he had an offer on the table. but i'm guessing he is 4th choice ruck behind Tippet, Naismith, Stinklair....How much are we paying that numpty Sinclair??

I nearly mentioned Kerr there, potentially the best of the lot, but he was always sabotaging his playing career by head hunting on the field and by getting into numerous incidents off it. The fact that Cousins managed 270 games was incredible, all things considered, including the travel factor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
