Hawks want Goose.
Just watched the interactive feedback between the Hawthorn supporters and Leigh Matthews on the AFL site, there is a lot of people wanting (hoping) to see Goose at Hawthorn next year to solidify their backline. I hope he does not go anywhere!

The feeling around the AFL clubs is that the Hawks are poison at the moment.
There have been some seriously questionable actions by the hawks in recent years, and the clubs are getting a bit jack of it.
The Ryan O'Keefe saga, as well as the news that the Hawks spoke to Shaun Burgoyne 3 months ago, is rubbing the clubs the wrong way.
Expect to Saints to play ultimate hard ball with tthe Hawks if they have any intention of keeping Goose on the list next year, because no club wants to give them a 'freebie' considering their work with trade targets over the last couple of seasons.

Goose better not turn his back on Clarko. He's every chance of getting whacked if he does...Faulky wrote:Clarkson has also come out and said that he will seriously look at Goose.

On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

The only player Hawthorn has landed in trade week since Clarkson got there is Bo Nixon. Whatever tactics they're employing, they're not working. They couldn't get O'Keefe - I've read they were only offering a 2nd round pick - and they won't get Burgoyne. They tried to get Thornton from Carlton before and couldn't get it done. I believe they've been filling Josh Gibson's head with dollar signs as well. The pattern that seems to be emerging is the Hawks offer a player lots of money, then offer their club next to nothing and no trade gets done.St Chris wrote:The Ryan O'Keefe saga, as well as the news that the Hawks spoke to Shaun Burgoyne 3 months ago, is rubbing the clubs the wrong way.

I think a lot of the conjecture is about their behaviour going the other way - they tend to be known for giving false information regarding players they are looking to offload. Key examples are Jonathon Hay (bipolar) and Nathan Thompson (depression amongst other degenerative injuries), as well as Tim Boyle whom they tried to offload to us last year (lucky we didnt as he retired this year due to injuries which he couldnt recover from). These players were all suffering at the time from injuries which would severely limit their future output in AFL, and each have since proven this to be the case. Whist each club is responsibe for due diligence on players before they are recruited, some of it does fall back on the honesty of the club seeking to trade them.vacuous space wrote:The only player Hawthorn has landed in trade week since Clarkson got there is Bo Nixon.

So yes, their tactics at getting players are also quite poor, but it is mainly what they do to trade off a player (and often for a high pick) that has gotten them in trouble...

They can't have him- he's ours! He will be back! Bigger, stronger and hungrier. We have the players for a strong team for the next five years. We may win a flag this year, we may not. But if a team can get up there often enough it has to happen. He is still only 25, a mere pup. There is no doubt that he would get a game in almost any other team but that's what has to happen for successful teams. They have to maintain their depth in the list. And besides, I like the guy!

Could be interesting in Trade week...it's hard to put a trade value on Goose because he has missed so much footy.....
If he ends up on the market i think the dawks won't be the only club interested in him....
maybe go for a high draft pick if he wants out and trade it to another club for a player that suits our needs..
