Re: Would you do it?
Higgins is a big part of our future, an ideal replacement for Johno when he retires. I also think he has leadership qualities. -

Re: Would you do it?
I voted 'no', but it's more of a 'not quite'...Thorp looks like he might be just what the doc ordered for us, but has demonstrated nothing approaching Higgins' capabilities at the top level thus far.
Realistically or not, I'd be wanting the Hawks to kick in a little something extra.BORDERLINE FLYINGComment

No for meComment

Re: Would you do it?
Thorp hasn't shown he is a senior player
Admittedly bigs cost more, but I would have thought Higgins is a price too highComment

Re: Would you do it?
with Dowler, Thorpe and all the other wunderkinds Hawthorn have down there at Box Hill you would think that they would be doing a little better than 3rd last in the VFL. The above mentioned haven't shown anything to suggest they will make it in the AFL.Comment

Re: Would you do it?
Couldn't have said it any better. You don't trade kids with the calibre of Higgins either. One minute he is talked about as potential captain material then the next breath we are asking should we unload him for another kid who hasn't made it yet.

Re: Would you do it?
Bit hard for me to say yes when I have never seen Thorpe play.
I'm not oppossed to the concept of trading a quality mid if it means we aquire a KPP by the way.[COLOR="Red"][B][U][COLOR="Blue"]85, 92, 97, 98, 08, 09, 10... Break the curse![/COLOR][/U][/B][/COLOR]Comment

Re: Would you do it?
Thorpe isn't playing regular senior football.
We can't say yes to trading a definite best 22 player for a "maybe".Western Bulldogs: 2016 PremiersComment

Re: Would you do it?
I haven't seen much of Thorp, but he does look a likely type. He has only been on Hawthorn's list for a couple of years so it's hard to judge him yet.
It is also pretty hard to crack a spot in Hawthorn's forwardline as he has a couple of handy type's keeping him out. I also think, quite rightly, that Hawthorn only need 2 talls + a mix of mids/ smalls in their forwrdline so there isn't really a need to play Boyle, Dowler or Thorp.
I'm not completely sold on Higgins yet, he still has a long way to go, but with another couple of pre-season's he could become a very good player.
Personally I would say yes, as long as Thorp would be capable of playing a significant role in our team next year and for the next 10.Comment
