O'Meara, Mitchell and Vickery all to be Hawks


I'd be more happy with Mitchell than the other 2, some risky business going on.

Will probably be a few trades today but yeah majority will be in the last day and a half.
Vickery to Hawks will be done today and sounds like Wells has been offered 3 years by Collingwood and could go through today

I'm just thinking why Pyke would be so eager to get there, is it someone they've not heard of before?

Would have to think so surely.

There is a picture going round of Tex and Gibbs having coffee yesterday, wonder if Gibbs did go to the Sloane wedding?

Not to mention the spot he's taking on the list isn't the 23rd best player, it's the 41st best player.

Next 12 months hey.

Massive overs for someone of his age and with his record of injury woes if you ask me.

It makes sense when you realise we aren't paying the full cap amount and he fills a gap. Hopefully can avoid that achilles/broken foot shit that sidelined him for a couple of seasons.
