List Mgmt. 2015 Trade, Free agency and draft rumours

[Brant]

I wasn't aware how much trouble he has had with his knees. A real shame given the talent.

It also makes you wonder whether the club would take the risk after everything that happened with Big Max.

I wonder who will be our next 'Big' ruckman?

It seems, to win a flag this Century, we need to have a ruckman with the nickname 'Big' on the list. Big Max & Big Boy have served us well.

I'm just hoping that 'Big Schoey' sticks around for another couple of years!

Something tells me that Dale Garlett will be the last dick head Hawthorn ever recruits. All recruits will have leadership qualities in one way, shape or form which probably says we won't be interested in Yarran. On field talent isn't enough for the HFC. We will no doubt only invest in good quality people going forward.

Harder said than done.

We're talking about 18-24 yr old males.

Dickheads are abundant in that age group.

I doubt it. We have recruited plenty of dickheads. Just because a few didn't make it doesn't mean the rate of return is insufficient to justify selection of dickheads. We won't ever recruit destabilising personalities like fevola and we may be cautious about players with know substance abuse issues but there will always be a second chance for talented kids who just haven't worked out how to be a professional footballer.

How do you sign Dangerfield for $100k per year?

Obviously its a prearranged deal

This makes me now wanna watch some Mr. Bean episodes

Not many actors/comedians can pull off as many great facial expressions as Rowan Atkinson can.

The hair-styles alone say it all.

Yeah I get that - what I don't understand is how he doesn't ask for another zero? Arrange it when you want, how do you convince him to play for $100k?

He's not suggesting he'd play for $100k. He's suggesting he'll play for effectively $640k a year for 5 years ($3M first 3, $100k/year for extra 2).
The initial 3 years would be hard to match but the extra 2 years at low money would make it a steal for us.
Wouldn't happen though as it's obviously outside the spirit of the rules (which is usually a cover all clause for things like this) and unlike the Buddy deal (which is also BS) it doesn't ultimately have the player being paid at least their reasonable market rate given the circumstances.
Also leaves us at the mercy of Dangerfield and his manager if once signing the first 3 years then turn around and refuse to sign the extra 2.

Gotcha - thanks

The two year deal for 2019-2020 is already signed - dated as if it was signed in 2017 and club keeps the only copy

 

[TyHawk]

All the talk is that Danger is already gone to the Cats!! Wasn't Chip already gone to them as well?? This one is 'Humming' along quite well for us IMO.

Totally agree

Just got wind that Charlie Dixon has agreed to terms with Brisbane for next year. 4 years at $700k a year, Luey and Aish gone, Aish doesn't care where to! Brisbane also trying to lure Jake Carlisle but have gone a little cold on him and now concentrating on Rance.

Make of that what you will.

Wish I could, it was Dylan Shiel but then he changed his mind!

We won't rest on our laurels though. I'll keep digging!

Aish would be pretty handy - can you swing that? They owe us after swindling Jordan Lisle from us!

 

[List Manager]

Is this the beginning of Eade clearing out the house?

If so, are there any there worth chasing?
