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

[Gunstall555]

It's hilarious watching the Essendon fans getting all frothy at the thought of landing O'Meara. Can't even do the Hibberd deal.

 

[Alsmypal]

They don't have to deal for pick 10 and Hartung.

I think it's more of a point to prove for them now and wouldn't really matter what we put on the table.

GW did the right thing in putting us up to pick 10. I just hope Carlton trades pick 5 for Marchbank ASAP!

In footy, is the acquisition of a star free agent muted somewhat by the fact that they are one of 22 players playing? Or by the fact that the list management would be complicated further by the fact that there are more people on an AFL list? I don't have a definitive answer to this, but I lean towards yes.

Did you notice how much difference Dangerfield made to Geelong this year? Or could you imagine Hawthorn's success without Hodge leading them? One player can make a world of difference IF he is of that calibre.

I'm still perplexed why we traded picks with St Kilda without an in-principle agreement with GC that a deal would be done as a result? Or did GC backflip?

Anger sharks

Saying GC "considering" our offer of picks 10 and 48. Although only if they can land an established midfielder from elsewhere. Nobody wants to go there.

Clarko is just a flat out Ledgend of the Hawks Footy club.
Great interview!
Who ever watches this with consideration of coming to Hawthorn via trade or draft would have to be comfortable with diving right into the system & becoming a part of Hawthorn.

 

[Stratts4Norm]

So apparently we're edging closer to a deal on jom? If we don't land him this will look like a flop

Also apparently brand is going to resign which is great news

A fair result at mediation is one that neither party is necessarily happy with but both can live with.

Pick 10 and Hartung is fair. GC would like more but they'd be crazy to let him walk when they could pick a gun kid and young player with upside. We would like to pay less because of what we gave up for pick 10 but that is what it is.

Don't think it will go that far, GCS wouldn't have a leg to stand on.
The player has had a very serious knee injury and hasn't played for 2 years, GCS would be lucky to get pick 10 under those circumstances.

That's a poor result mate. Pick 10 alone is a good result for us. Why offer more when Gold Coast's best alternative is nothing while our best alternative is getting JOM with pick 10 in the national draft. You're just throwing value away by giving Billy. The Hawks have positioned themselves well and pick 10 will either be swallowed up by the draft system or can be accepted by GC.

In fact the best outcome for us would be if we somehow managed to snatch JOM in the PSD with 14 and use pick 10 in the ND on best available talent. Magnitude of risk would be freakin high regardless of price JOM puts on his head

I don't rate Hartung at all. That's why I would take that trade in a heartbeat

The AFL mediator begs everyone to agree to a trade so no-one takes the draft/trade system to court where it could be folded up quite quickly.

exactly right…all it takes is one phone call from "our" president the ex essendon supporting garvey instructing Gill to get on the phone and tell the ass clowns at gold coast to sign the deal otherwise we go to supreme court….deal will get done immediately

 

[smokie]

Even if we land JOM I still feel we have suffered this trade period. No pick before the 60's, no first rounder next year. We need young talent but feel we will just be selecting list cloggers. Our recruiting team have there work cut out for them

Relax we have pick 10,48,66,70,88

Have offered only 10 for Jom

 

[Billyc]

Jay Clark reporting GC have rejected picks 10 and 48 and Jaeger looks headed for the national draft.

Hope it's Mark Evans doing the mediating

So he's such a liability to the team that you place a negative value on him?

That is the only basis you would gift him to to GC when there is no other economically justifiable, logical, sensible, prudent or unreckless reason to.

Better lay off the jaegerbombs brother. No pun intended

I disagree. When we land JOM, we have officially smashed this trade.

Yes we don't have early picks this year but we just picked up some guns. Next year we lost our first pick, so we will pick up another gun or role player. So the wheel keeps turning.

Yay we get to use pick 48 in the draft! Wooo hooo what a win

48 will be Jarman i imagine if he nominates us

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but didn't Jay Clark say that this is the best offer Hawthorn has put forward and that Gold Coast are considering accepting not even half an hour ago?

The young talent is JOM and Titch.

Even better, it is guaranteed young talent unlike the draft. Cough, Thorp, Dowler, Ellis, Cough.

If we get JOM then who cares about young players in an average draft class. Tom Mitchell and JOM are both 23 or younger. We have a good spread of young players across the park with those two - with players like Howe, Lovell, Stewart, Brand, Sicily, Burton etc to all get more game time. If we get JOM on board, and particularly if Jarman nominates us - who cares about this draft.

Resign or re-sign.
