Now that Menzel is a seriously good player and with our talented forward line he'd be even better.

In : D.Menzel
Out : T.Menzel

What players have we got that have value and we could afford to loose

Menzel, Hampton and Seedsman are worth less than we traded them for, gore has dropped value Wigg has lost value CEY has zero value Doedee would no longer be worth a first,

Those who have gained value CC, Smith , Laird, Atkins, BROWN, Harto

Out of contract at the end of this year? Just McGovern really, unless you think we could stand to lose Lever. Nobody else both out of contract and an affordable loss is worth anything inside the meaningful picks.

Andy Otten

Is he a free agent?

 

[Scorpus]

Is he a free agent?

You might be right.

Rockliff

Could of had him last year, club did not want. Off field issues not good for any club, hence why he has changed tune this year. Still speculative but imo would help us greatly but not worth risk of a long contract.

Is he a free agent?

Yep.

But that means we've at least increased his potential compensation if he does leave as a FA. We would have gotten 0 for him if he spent a 3rd year in a row playing in the SANFL.

Can anyone confirm if this guy has gotten anything right?

It's not like we are desperate for a gun mid or anything

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Do we look at getting one of the senior players from Hawthorn, like WC did with Mitchell or Melb & Lewis


What's Luke Hodge's contract situation?

 

[Bob Neil]

If Schache left Brisbane could we perhaps encourage Jenkins to revisit the Lions option leaving us with the salary cap and trade chips to keep McGovern plus bring in a handy midfielder?

He said we were getting Gibbs

Went through his tweets, which wasn't fun and he is a dick.

But he did seem to know what was going on.

Yeah, we all did. Then in the last week of trading came out with he didn't think it was going to get over the line because Carlton were asking too much. Adamant three days out that it wasn't going to happen unless Carlton dropped their price.

Burton had another good day today looking good for the rising star, out of contract at year end might be a bidding war with the power

Hate to burst your bubble mate but we offered him another years extention at around this time last year so that he was able to focus on getting his body right without the added pressure of him feeling as though he'd already wasted a whole season of his initial two year contract:
http://www.hawthornfc.com.au/news/2016-04-19/burton-signs-oneyear-extension
Also he was touted as a definate top five slection and possible first selection overall before the his injury. While he was drafted as a forward is has been serving his apprenticeship in the backline where he is not just holding his own in this area but exceeding our greatest expectations, with his round two performance against Adelaide where he racked up 26 disposals while also marking Taylor Walker and doing a darn good job:

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-11-...t-the-exciting-and-crafty-forward-ryan-burton
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-04-04/burton-keen-to-help-lead-the-hawks-new-guard

He is also best mates with Ben Jarman and if you look at certain aspects of his game like his kicking style/ability it's clear as day that he's been taught well by Darren Jarman:

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/a...s/news-story/c4750a3619530b62c0125bdc4a969621

But not only does he have all the makings to become elite at either end of the ground, he wants to eventually step up and play in the midfield and while yes, it's definately a big call, given his all of his traights he could end up being the next Nat Fyfe or Marcus Bontempelli and we got him for a steal in the draft.
This kid is very highly regarded at the club, so much so that he has inherited the famous number five guernsey and he is definetely the best young talent we've drafted since Jarryd Roughead and Lance Franklin, but to be enitrely honest he may end up becoming better than the pair of them.
I would have said at the end of last season that there was no chance that the club would consider trading him and given his performances this season many would say that any remote chance of that happening would have further diminished however given our clubs current situation it may be possible that if Jake Lever and Adelaide 2017 Second Round Selection was on the table it could be enough to get the deal done.

Also before you go screaming bloody murder on this try and look at this from a neutral perspective and you'll clearly see that Ryan Burton has shown more than Jake Lever has so far in their careers and he also by far has the most upside.

Take of it what you will and good luck for the rest of season.

Yeah just like you have..

 

[TheSquawkinHawk]

Exactly!!!

 

[TheSquawkinHawk]

Yeah just like you have..

So then I'm assuming that you think something along the lines of Harry Dear and a bag of Skittles is a little more fair?

 

[Houston]

Stop being sarcastic with the drunk. Don't reply and he'll wander off.
