Cameron Bruce Trains with Hawthorn

[8-6 Suited]

Looks like it's almost official. Cameron Bruce has been given permission to train with Hawthorn as a prelude to their selecting him in the Preseason draft.

While he could work with Hawthorn, I don't honestly know myself if he will be in the best 22 for long. However, I would like to know your opinions.

Cameron Bruce would be in the best 22 of any team. I'd love for Collingwood to pick him up. I've had a man-crush on Bruce for years. Can play in the midfield, play the run-with roll, can play tall and small in defense and can kick a few goals.

It's funny how I once made a thread like this confirming someone is defiantly moving and got slammed  :P

who was it on?
and did u have evidence?

[Master Q]

Forgot but it was a while ago, when something is Official you need evidence  ;)

He is officially training with Hawthorn, has said he wants to play at Hawthorn and went into the Pre-season draft and skipped the national draft to ensure he wasn't touched by St Kilda so he could go to Hawthorn. It is almost a certainty.

I can't imagine any clubs who have a pick below Hawthorn would pick a 31 year old (not because he isn't good but because they aren't a realistic premiership chance) and even if they wanted him, I can't imagine they would want to take someone who has so strongly demonstrated that he wants to go to a particular club.

interesting quote there..
pretty much 100% hawks will take him unless he does his knee in training or something

I also like him :-*.

Is very versatile so could fill in Brown's old spot down back or up forward.

[hawk_88]

Will most likely play down back but he does have the versatility to go anywhere.

After I have seen some pre-season form after Christmas I will sit down and work out our 22 and those who are just outside. Will be an interesting one this year with 11 players gone, 7 (assuming Bruce is in) new ones and the sub rule. Our ruck and forward line will be very interesting to work out.

[MajorLazer]

We need someone to create run from our backline and start our attacks. We were lacking that this year. Bruce could do it, but don't think so.

[hawk_88]

You don't think we will take him or you don't think we will play him there?

[Hawka]

yep same il do that aswell hawk il prefer him up back or wen we have a injury or 2 and he can move into the midfield

[MajorLazer]

Don't think he could play there. I definitely think we should get him.

[bunyip]

if he is 31 I think he's to old to recruit. But, if they have room on their list, why not I suppose. Pity he's not 2 or 3 years younger though.

[Cicjose]

very young squad taking a punt on an oldie doesn't seem to be a bad idea pulling it off tho for the whole season will be the issue
