Sydney's Big Spend on Gun Forward

[Cpt. Kirk]

Furthermore, is Tom even rated a 1st round draft pick? Haven't injuries got to him over the last couple of years? I doubt we'd have to use our first pick now tbh. Potential coup there, though then again, his football development might have been stunted by the time off as well.

I think in the u16's he was the rated very highly and i guess we will see just how good he is when he comes back in round 4 or 5 for WA.

Its the bidding process that means we have to use our first pick on Mitchell, right? But whats to stop us trading our first pick, and hence having to use our second on him?

Bidding happens before trade week.

Even if there was a gin forward available and wanting to come to Sydney, our first round pick this year is almost certainly not available for trading (Tom Mitchell).

s will probably end up a gun once he settles. Started to go in the right direction last night. But seriously I think we will rely on the draft to get us what we want & no more struff ups. At least with a young bloke we could end up with a long term prospect not a quick fix

I thought that was why we recruited Lewis.

Unhappy woofing at the doghouse - Lake to tie on the ballet shoes at FF?

either riewoldt would do, nick might like a change, but cant see him ever leaving stkilda, plus hes older i guess.

could try and poach a future star like Hurley or Darling, or walker maybe???

we will probably end up offering hally a four year deal.

I thought 42 was the answer

The answer to life, universe and everything.

That'll be a shock for some on this board!

I'm sadly sobering up but a few hours ago a thought popped in my head - Pyke is the answer. To what question I don't know, just saying.

I wouldn't be opposed to chasing Hawkins for the right price. Might benefit from having a genuine CHF in the team, which Geelong have never really had (I say this hoping Reid develops as expected).

[GongSwan]

Real risk of recruiting a spud. I wonder what our coaches think they can do that Geelong haven't tried?

Huge risk I agree, I suppose at Geelong he's a fringe player and probably feeling the pressure, maybe at a club where he is almost guaranteed a game, like Mummy was, he might do better?????????? Still a huge risk, he does look like a spud

[dimelb]

You might be on the money, Damien Barrett on Triple M just stated that the Swans are monitoring the Tom Hawkins situation very closely and are interested.
