we still could, if we are willing to use our first round pick on a player who will most probably be 3-4 years away from having any real impact.
I think that is the main reason the priority was Hampson. Longer could very well turn out to be rubbish too.
Brisbane 'reportedly' wanted 17 and a player for Longer, so essentialy the Hawks went and spent the same amount on getting McEvoy.

Unless we get a mid who has been in the system for a few years (Adams type) then I'd hold on to pick 11 (12 after compos) and draft another gun. No secret that we are becoming a better side with the natural improvement each year of those first rounders (Martin, Conca, Ellis, Vlastuin).

 Great post. My thoughts exactly  :clapping

Pretty much, has done SFA to command this sort of attention. Brisbane wanted what the Hawks paid for McEvoy . . .

Can you image if Richmond traded #11 and a best 22 player?

Claw would have a stroke

Savage is a best 22 player in the VFL.

Hawks, Cats and Collingwood sure know how to get things done IMO :(

The Cats and Collingwood have done sweet FA so far? Allot of smoke and no fire unfortunately....

The Cats have done away with sentiment and retired/delisted a handful of their older players. They consistently turn over their list and chase young talent with aggression.

Collingwood has put Shaw up for trade and also chasing young players hard.


We got Hampson. Woo!

LMAO....we have no old players to move on! :lol Tuck went this year, Newman and King will be gone next, I'm not sure what the difference would be if they left this year because we don't get anything for them if they retire :lol
It's not as if Hunt (31 and 9 games) Chapman (32 and 8 Games) and Corey (31 and 20 games) Podsiadly (32 and 20 games) were going to go on for ever anyway and besides that they got nothing in return for any of them either!!
As for chasing players hard, Varco is the only Geelong name I've heard as being on the table and there certainly isn't a whole lot of interest there either....

Collingwood had Thomas walk out on the club, yes they have put Shaw up for trade and looks as though he will be used to get the Adams deal done but besides being linked to every player who has asked to be moved on they haven't seem to hacmve got much over the line yet.

So feel free to explain what you mean by chasing players Hard and how it's different to how we have been going about it.

SEN claiming they are hearing a potential swap between St Kilda's David Armitage, who wants to return home to Qld, and the Lions' Billy Longer.

Armitage was one of the few good youth they had.  Stevens the only other. St Kilda are going to be the next Melbourne!

ST KILDA defender Sam Fisher now forming part of a proposed deal to land Greater Western Sydney defender Josh Bruce.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-10-10/trade-wrap-thursday

Mark Stevens on Ch 7 news tonight says the Hawks and Saints will later swap picks 20 and 23 as part of the McEvoy deal.

He also claimed Dal Santo's preferred club is Essendon if he leaves St Kilda. So that puts North in a spot as the Roos thought NDS wanted to go to Arden St  :laugh:.
