Big Fish ?...Hawthorn trade news and targets thread(not for trade hypotheticals)

[Roger Rogerson]

I don't doubt petracca will become a very good player but I feel he is being a tad overrated. There were a number of times this year he could have stood up and didn't. Lacks a tank which will hopefully come. Still has a fair way to go.

his profile has him at 94 kg that might be part of the tank problem

He is absolutely overrated on output. But he has Dustin Martin-like potential. Whether he become a Martin or stays more of a Ziebel type remains unknown but he has that absolute high-end potential. If there was any chance, we would trade our 2018 first and a quality player for him.

hahahaha, can’t believe people actually entertain these ideas. There’s no way we’re getting Petracca. Y’all need to stop drooling over the allure of a big fish and focus on how we can make the TEAM better. Being ‘bold’ doesn’t mean recklessly going after every big name the club might get a sniff at.
Petracca is gonna be a star and MFC would know...not gonna happen...bring on 2018

i agree MFC have already rejected Petracca being a part of the Lever trade, they wont trade him imo

How many late first round picks do they have?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

"Hawthorn have interest in Petracca". Well Derrrr.

How many players would Hawthorn have enquired about this last few weeks? 50+.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

How many late first round picks do they have?

Picks 1, 12 and 18.

I thought that was really smart from Adelaide to do some anchoring of what price they should expect.

And I also think Lever for Petracca would be a fair trade. Everyone seems to disagree with me and most trades don't go down this way. But Lever is an AA defender they're a similar age and Petracca still hasn't been able to move full time into the midfield, either because other players are better, he's more useful as a forward or he's not got the tank.

Lever is delivering, Petracca looks like he will get to Lever levels in a year or two, hopefully. The only thing that skews this is the fact that Petracca is contracted.

18 is the target.

After I posted I wondered if someone would take offense. It's a weird world we live in now.

To be clear, I have greatly appreciated the contributions to Hawthorn by our indigenous players, and by Darren Jarman. So I tried to make a joke about how Jarman Impey might combine all of the above. Definitely no offense intended, to anyone.

If anyone is actually offended please let me know and I will delete the original comment.

As someone who gets mistakenly called a leftie here and is accused of virtue signalling - I find zero offense with what you said. Some of the Indigenous lads in the game are just beyond gifted so it's always exciting when a similarly talented prospect gets linked with us. I also get excited when we recruit left footers!

Agreed. Not going to happen.

 

[beta_condition]

19 as well when Rockliff signs with Port, one of those 18 and 19 would be on the table.

 

[HawksILove]

Welcome to Hawthorn Joel Garner

I hope so, getting Joel Garner will be brilliant, has a lot of class

One of those will probably go to Adelaide for Cameron

If Big Bird is not his nickname and we get him I quit football

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Any insider news on the likes of poppy and hartung?

Also Geelong board seem confident about impey heading their way..

Its BigFooty. There have people on this board confident of Fyfe, Martin, Rocky, Lever, Gaff, Kennedy, etc etc all heading our way.

If a few posters on this forum are throwing names up and waxing lyrical about them, it doesn't mean the club are doing the same.

Petracca is nothing more than a pipe dream atm I agree, but even I can't resist fantasising about him playing for Hawthorn. He is a bull and he is 21. And full of the proverbial too. It would be amazing.

The only problem is that Petracca has a touch of the FIGJAM about him.

If you can knock that out of him, he'll be okay.

 

[PhatHQ]

Petracca... this is wishful thinking.

We would be putting quite a bit to nab a young guy with such a high ceiling.

I would be happier with this scenario rather than my previously quashed # as Petracca has a much better forward capacity than Hopper with possibly more X factor in the midfield if he dropped a few Kg.

First born.. left nut.. ect
I'm all over this little snippet until is proven to not be happening.

Love the idea!!!

Hawks are eyeing one of Brisbane’s late first round picks.

What will they be giving up for 18 or 19??

Maybe thread should be renamed Hawks big fish leaving!
