    Although more similar to McEvoy, I'd take Tom over the four you mentioned above (Vickery,Minson,Clarke,Witts) and Vardy. Tom may well have just added some further currency to his trade value tonight particularly with a big scare to the Eagles with NicNat as well. Also, quite a few other clubs looking short on for a decent ruckman e.g Essendon, Richmond, Brisbane (beyond Martin), Freo (beyond Sandi).

    Come to think of it, I recall Hawthorn picking up Jack Fitzpatrick from Melbourne for coverage.

      If Nic Nat's done a knee you'd think they'd make a play for Rory Lobb

        Although seemingly worth less and less each year, Lobb I believe is still contracted for next year.

            Hawthorn have been smashed in contested possessions and clearances. They have been all year, but when it counts you have to win the ball.

            I think Hawthorn's position on the ladder really flatters them, they won at least 4 close games by less than a goal, when the opposition stuffed it up. I know we have won a few close ones, but we never looked like losing.

              Hawthorn looked eerily similar to Brisbane in 2004 . West Coast dominated around the ball, but as soon as Nic Nat went off they came back to the field . Another hawk cheap shot from Lewis, but I'm sure there will be a fine or some soft inadequate decision .
              Best the Eagles have played all year, and hoping Hawthorn are shot

                I did mean Lobb from GWS Rem.

                EMERGING GWS key position prospect Rory Lobb could seek a trade home to Western Australia at season’s end, AFL.com.au reports.

                Although the 23-year-old is contracted to the Giants for 2017, both Fremantle and West Coast have reportedly become aware that he could be open to a move west.

                  Round 22 has started well for my miracle option as per the T&T Root thread.

                  The injuries to Ceglar and NicNat also help our situation. If we strike West Coast in a final with NicNat missing our chances certainly improve.

                  Hawthorn will also be weakened for Round 23 against Collingwood with the loss of Ceglar and the expected suspension of Jordan Lewis.

                    And that's the end of North...
                    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                      Are you referring to the hit on Lycett? I don't think he'll get suspended for that.

                      I'd prefer Lewis to play - he is looking old and slow.
                      More of an In Bruges guy?

                        I think Geelong and Tom Hawkins will look on the Lewis punch with interest .

                          I don't think much of Melbourne FC, but North missing the finals would be so, so super sweet.

                            Yeah. It's take a bit to get me cheer, cheering the red and the White but a North loss makes it worthwhile.
                            They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                                Pretty decent from Norf , but surely they're to tall forward .
                                Daw can't read the play as a forward, and we got a classic Thomas playing for a free in there.
                                It would be one epic choke if they don't play finals, but I think they'll get GWS next week .
