Laidley has been a more successful coach but seems to be developing Frawley's recruiting strategy.Last year the Hawks won big time with a trade for Norths first and second round draft picks for an average performer in Thompson.Now according to rumour they have done it again,..a first round pick for Hay..I wouldn't take Hay for base wage.Terry is there some way we can get into this & trade a player for Harris?
 
We dont need another "slow" midfeilder.Terry said it himself we need speed through the midfeild
 
I can see the similarities, both over estimating their lists and covering up the cracks with top ups. Laidley can at least coach a bit, whereas Frawley had no idea.
 
i would say grant thomas is the new spud. how can he not get a team that talented into the grand final?

Every North supporter I know was pretty happy with the Thompson trade.
Didn't he kick 70 odd goals this year?

Just looked it up 12th on the list with 52.Dont think he was worth 10 and 26?
 
all my roos supporting mates are over the moon to get thommo and all of them reckon jesse smith under father-son was like a top 10 pick anyway.

it kinda makes sense
 
Only ever been one Frawley,
until Laidley coaches the roos to a wooden spoon he's no Frawley.
maybe he should appoint Wayne Brittan as an assistant that would help

GO TIGES

Maybe Denis Pagan will be appointed Laidley's assistant in 2007! :rofl

If he were to appoint Frawley as a specialist coach that would put him on the right path.

Nathan Thompson worked out better than most thought - they are in front until they see what picks 10 and 26 become worth - if anything at all. How's the saying, "a bird in the hand..............", though I believe Struggler is fairly keen on having two birds in the bush :hihi"
