    But hey, we get pick 21. Great, just great..
    Don't forget pick 44 was it?

    Why is everyone saying no one else was interested? We traded on day 1, didn't exactly give others time to show an interest.

    The list managers met last week and Hawthorn stated their interest in Lake then. Hawthorn were the only team to show interest in Lake.

    The fact the deal was able to be done on day one is neither here nor there.

    I guess we wanted the picks early on so we can use them to trade for other players.

    A 21 year old Brian Harris would be great.

    Can't help thinking that Macca is trying to build a team that will play, fight and die for each other.

    Somehow, I doubt that was Brian.

    No point in keeping him if that was the case.

    No-one at the club seems to be too unhappy to see him go. Anyone heard anything to the contrary?

    It wouldn't matter if they were happy or not. He's gone and if anyone at the club has a problem with it they'd be best off getting on with the job.

    History making trade. The player & Hawthorn must be thrilled. As we talk about trading the player on our end.
