So we dump the Box Hill best and fairest then recruit Geelong's B+F. ::)

I heard this trade was on the cards, 19 goals and averaged 26 disposals this year. Could be handy.

Pretty tough on him, but the Cats had to cut one of their young guns. Good to see him get a second chance at the Hawks.

Yeah good pickup I reckon. Is on primary list so wouldn't be surprised to see him play a few games.
