Life of Brian

Re: Life of Brian

Didnt we end up with Hrovat and Stevens for him.

We got Stevens but might have got Hrovat anyway (our pick was upgraded from 27 to 21).

Re: Life of Brian

a win-win trade. I get a sense that Brian holds some bad blood towards us, which is unfair given the Club gave him his shot and supported his rise to superstar FB and when things got real shaky facilitated a trade to his Club of choice and right in the mix for a premiership and Norm Smith medal.

No grudges for him from me, just hurts seeing one of the rare key position stars we've developed over the journey go on and do what we all expected to happen in red white and blue.

IMO he wouldnt have lasted to 27, but you never know.

Im happy with this trade obviously.

Re: Life of Brian

Flogging a dead horse and all that and I promise I won't mention this again after today. We traded a contracted player who was the difference to winning a premiership and losing one on the first day of the trade deadline for a 2nd Round draft pick. I'm wrapped we got Hrovat but after today my constant whining and protests about this trade are justified. We blinked first and winners are grinners. Brian Lake and Hawthorn have a huge grin on their right face now.

Re: Life of Brian

So does this mean Brian is coming back?

He left for a flag, now he has one. Welcome back Brian.

Brian got what he wanted. Hawthorn got what they wanted. We got what we wanted Its about as win win as you can get.

I'll say no more either.

Disagree.
We tore up his large salary, we're not Essendon we're you think you can bend over teams.
As a 31 year old who was unhappy, and had a year left it was a smart pro-active move.
Good luck to him.
It's pretty poor of him if he holds a grudge against us.
Just a reminder it was the Dogs who took a chance on an overweight sleep deprived South Australian. He should be gracious

Without Lake's wage space, we have no Crameri.

They got Tim O'Brien as well, so it was essentially Lake and O'Brien for Hrovat and Stevens.

Well said, agree.

There was the trade and also Brian's large salary at play.
Would think if we only got pick 21, we'd be paying his salary.
To cut up his contract, I'm sure we had to give ground.
That's all I'll say and let's enjoy Nathan Hrovat's long and hopefully prosperous career.

Re: Life of Brian

So after Monday when Lake is offered two weeks suspension for his head high hit on Pearce (or was it Walters) does he have to give back the Norm Smith??

Gotta say he played well in the last term but The Pav was tearing him up in the third.
Great last quarter when Freo surprisingly took Clarke off.

Cooney in the hawks rooms, liquored up looking after Brian's kids.
