My God. I hate Hawthorn with a passion but I feel a lot for this guy.
He was looking like a genuine A Grader a couple of years ago but his career has been significantly disrupted from that point onwards.
His complete inability to get on the park will have some strong ramifications for their future planning now I’d say. Beginning with this trade/FA and draft period.
I havent watched this ■■■■ stain club for years because they bore me. I actually have no idea who Lewis is. But i believe he’s an ok player. Good luck with Ginny, Wizard, Breaust there it is and old man Gunston. ■■■■ them
They’ve bounced up the ladder too quickly. They’ll get stuck in the Essendon zone of mediocrity. Not good enough to win and too good to hit up the top end of the draft.
It depends, Hawks have more cash than us to spend, but can they get any decent free agents in this year? otherwise they may be bringing forward contracts and paying sub standard players inflated wages.
Looking at the free agents - Cam Zurharr would actually fit in nicely for them an ageing bruest, wingard & Gunston, plus the Lewis ACL having someone younger who can play up forward would be beneficial.
They have also been heavily linked to Josh Battle and he would strengthen their defence somewhat, but they have stood up ok with just battlers this year. And Blanck to return next year.
Also Cumming or Perryman would definetly handy but not sure Hawks would be the top of their list so would need to be lots of $$$$ to sway them.
If they miss targets and need to spend cash then, would enquire on Cunningham from swans, he’s older, but versatile a bit of a swiss army knife and would add some much needed depth to the squad, also weakens the chickens and would boost his salary.
