ROK - Re signs with swans for 4 years. (Confirmed)

[Robbo]

Day 4 is almost over and we have still only had 1 trade.

[Plugger46]

I am in favour of shafting Hawthorn and ROK by letting him walk for nothing. If they won't give up pick 16 then we need to take a stand.

I'm with you hammo.

Precisely what I was thinking, if Hawthorn want O'Keefe we should play hard-ball like they did with Everitt. Sure, O'Keefe can go but maybe next year or better yet the year after. Then Ryan will only have a couple of good years left in him.

I like this plan.

As much as I like ROK, I'm really disappointed with his attitude over all this.

I gotta funny feeling he's gonna be stuck with us for at least the next 2 years.

[Robbo]

I'm with you hammo.

So am I. I don't want ROK now. Whether we trade him away or let him go into the PSD, I don't want the club to re-sign him.

I doubt the supporters and players will ever see him in the same light ever again after this week. Mud sticks.

[Cardinal]

If anyone, I reckon that he still has a more than a few years left in him.

In my opinion 16 would be provided as part of the deal and the only question is what other player comes with the package. Bit of prespective - he's practically in all Australian form and a proven player - worth more than potential any day.

[Plugger46]

I haven't got an issue with O'Keefe and still hope that he re-signs with us. However, I don't want him to be to traded to Hawthorn for well under what he's worth. We simply can't allow Hawthorn to shaft us.

[Robbo]

How about O'Keefe and Hall + all of our draft picks for Buddy

[Rob-bloods]

Withdraw or reduce our offer and as he wants to play in front of big crowds in Melbne, let him go into PSD and play FOR Melbourne in front of THEIR crowds!

Hate to say "I told you so DST" but I told you so. Pelchen on SEN saying that 16 is off the table. You assumed too much when talking about the delusion that surrounds that man's head. Next thing you know, he's going to come out and blabber about keeping the integrity of the Hawks intact. blah blah blah.

[Robbo]

Pelchen's problem is that he cares more about protecting his ego than doing what is best for his club.

Hawthorn will have a better chance of winning the premiership next year if they have ROK over whoever they draft at 16.

Swantastic said (who's computer is dead at the moment, and it's killing him) ...

ROK deal is gawn hawks dont want 2 give up 16 (sic - why should I fix up his crappy punctuation!!)

He reckons it's breaking news.

See you in the PSD duck butt!!!

[mcs]

Id let him walk if they wont offer pick 16 or say a 2nd rounder + 2 players. And then hope someone else gets him the PSD- Melbourne preferably!

[Robbo]

Pick 34 + Thorp would be the focus now. Anything less than that then ROK will find himself in red and blue next year getting triple teamed in front of crowds of 15K.
