Schoenmakers!?!

You kidding BT?

Yep, Schoenmakers is really bad. Thats the reason the Hawks are going after other KPs.

Hawks have signed Frawley, the video was accidentally loaded on their website today.

I'd have a crack at Schoenmakers. Frawley, Lake, Gibson, Sphanger, Hodge and a heap of tall enough players he might struggle for a game. Maybe he wants a rolled gold opportunity to play as a CHB (and be bombarded for 2 hours every week)?

I have to say that Schoenmakers only has limited appeal to me. He can't judge to ball in the air and too often is out of position in a marking contest.

Greenwoods an all round mid, we wouldn't struggle to fit him into our best 22.

Isn't he more of a defensive player? Good footballer but does he give us a point of difference with the likes of Wallis, Smith and Picken already at the club?

For a cheap trade, he appeals to me. He's much better then most of tall defenders. Like a pick downgrade, etc.

Cheap and 'better than most of ours' isn't a reason to recruit someone.

The guy is no good.

Same basket as Kane Lucas.

I see him as a hard nosed mid who can do a bit of everything, not just a pure inside mid. He can play multiple roles and would be a decent Boyd replacement. He'd easily be in our best 22 and would fit in a team with those others you mentioned imo.

Not for me, would rather take a chance on a kid as we already know what we'll get with Schoe and its just not AFL standard to me.

I think recruiting better players than you currently have is a good thing. For a good trade too, that's good too. We disagree on his potential.

If Daniel Pearce's only role is to keep Graham off of our list then he's worth it

I think we need a mature ruckman for depth. Only on this basis if McKernan was better than a state league recruit, I'd look at him.

God no to Graham, I just couldn't stand another tall outright shit player. McKernan is close granted, but not Graham.

Ok, so noes to Graham have it.

What are peoples thoughts of trading up to get pick 2 off Melbourne? How do you value moving up 3 places in the draft? I find it extremely difficult to value.

McCartin looks a huge risk for mine. Looks slow, I'm not sure he has a tank and is very one dimensional from reports. Has anyone watched him live?

McCartin will get better once he gets into the real professional environment. He is big, strong and physical and I think he will be a good player.

Will depend on what we have to give up, but one of McCartin or Wright would be assured at pick 2.

Paddy can play. But the cost of the trade would need to be high based on the similar Melbourne/GWS trade last year. If it was for someone walking out like Jones, yes. But Hrovat or similar, I'm nervous about a trade like that based on the cost as opposed to PM.

That much better than say Lever/Durdin? Not saying we are going to do it but as tragic said giving up a player like Hrovat and pick 5 for an untried player is a massive gamble. Is is a bluff? I just hope they are not trying to please supporters and the media as pick 5 and Hrovat for example should get you a young forward that has at least played a few seasons of AFL footy. If that player isn't around this year then I'm happy to wait...

Talia?

Hunter?

Prefer those 2 over Hrovat
