News AFL trade, free agency and draft. "who goes where?" - No freakin' hypotheticals

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

its a player in return. Nothing in concrete atm, but would be a straight swap by the looks of it.

source?

 

[Hawk88]

Are we on-trading the player or retaining them?

No idea. I would like to stress that i have been told this is a chance to happen. Not set in stone.

 

[Big Hotdog]

Apparently shopping round this bloke also...

 

[Hawkas1988]

Does he actually want to leave

I guess Melbourne are on the up. He would probably only be open to going to a side that will likely play finals and improve.

Our engine room will look so foreign next year if this eventuates.

Only thing I'll say if we do trade a second older player is, remember the infamous 2-2-2?
Maybe it wasn't BS after all???
I'm just not buying it, there is absolutely no media about it.

What player/s?

 

[Hawk88]

source?

Not naming names but someone close to the club. I know how that sounds!! But i get mail from a good friend of mine regarding the hawks i.e Injuries trade info etc.

Dont blame you if you dont believe me! As i know alot of stuff gets thrown around this time of the year

 

[Flag08]

This is exciting stuff.

Feel any movement of our older players may fall into a similar category to Mark Williams. End of the career, one last selfless act for the club you love, even if it means you have to leave.

Sam and Williams have same manager. Providing for the future. Also a died in the wool Hawk supporter.

With all due respect to a 4xpremiership player, B&F winner and AA player I'd be stunned if we took Lewis off you.

Christian Petracca!!! GET IT DONE THEN!

Our engine room needed a good service after this year, but not sure I'm comfortable replacing the whole thing !

We were very keen on Tom Macdonald early in the season. Wonder if this is the big defender we are looking for?

 

[Flag08]

Lewis is Gawn

 

[Wundo]

He's not all that.

WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT - WHAT DO YOU KNOW!?

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

That makes it more real. It is how the Hawks operate. Actions speak loudest.

 

[MJA33]

Lewis has given us great service but would be the 1 mid we could afford to loose I think ... can't see it happening tho and who for?

 

[arupist]

Ruck stocks? That would make sense to me if there was a decent ruck as part of our trade period. Lobbe?
Lewis for Hogan would have been nice, but he did just sign an extension.

So did Lewis.

 

[The Lemon]

Maximum troll

 

[MC_9]

What player/s?

Trengove??

I wonder who else Clarko visited on brownlow day with a bottle of wine?

Could be the new kiss of death..."oh shit...here's Clarko with a bottle of wine"

Now that's funny.

 

[Jason Dunstall]

Now that's funny.

Except for the two other players with a bottle of wine..

 

[TheExtractorFactor]

Mitchell being traded has made me numb, anyone could leave now and I wouldn't really care.

After the week we've had, we won't be

I think unfortunately Lewis is ready to fall off the cliff the fastest out of our veterans, at times he has looked simply apathetic out on the field, and like a hardened warrior he seems only able to rouse himself for combat by the time the 4th quarter rolls around. He has a hell of a lot of polish when he's on, but he has looked awful at times also.

I suspect that the captaincy conversations are decreasingly factoring Jordan in, as they'll likely go straight from Hodge to someone a bit younger... who knows, maybe Jaeger will be captain after one season? lol.

If this netted us a lock in a position for the next 5-10 years, wouldn't you do it? Imagine bringing in Gawn - ruck problems solved, or Petracca to work alongside Titchell... that's some serious grunt, Hogan - forwardline fixed (all these are probably a bit ambitious)

I've learnt to be impartial, because my feelings make me too sad! My silver lining is that I actually don't mind Melbourne, and more so sans Roos. Time will tell, in one trade period GW/Clarko might have set us up to be competitive in finals for the next 10 years... Minnows like North who hung onto their veterans for too long can only look on through tears.
