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

[Hawk Dork]

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

a big fish

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

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.

The best players in any sport have a touch of the FIGJAM’s about them. It’s a prerequisite to being a champion.

 

[Mrzohs]

Lmfao the Petracca calls... there's literally not a player on our list Melbourne would want that would satisfy them for Petracca, not 1.

Just reading this petracca stuff now, I'll belive it when i see it probably another fairy tail. The bloke does has a massive high ceiling.

 

[lethalselbow]

Is this Petracca stuff just pie in the sky fantasy or linked to some rumours?

Okay ... little look and the HSun has it. (Sure it's quote back in this thread somewhere and I've missed it)

HAWTHORN

GONE: Luke Hodge, Josh Gibson, Jack Fitzpatrick, Luke Surman (retired)

IN PLAY: Luke Hodge retired, only to shock the footy world by declaring he wanted to play on at the Brisbane Lions under former Hawks footy manager Chris Fagan. The Hawk great is poised to sign a two-year deal that allows him to dip his toe in the coaching water. Must be traded for, or drafted by, the Lions.

THE TARGETS: Rumoured to have had some interest in Tom Rockliff, while there were some whispers about Christian Petracca. Has been something of a front runner for dashing Port Adelaide defender Jarman Impey, but now faces competition from the Western Bulldogs, who snared Impey’s housemate Jackson Trengove.

DRAFT PICKS: 32, 42, 60, 79, 97, 115

Balic going to melbourne makes no sense, they have too many of that type of player on their list. If we have geniunely said no thanks because of his personal issues than thats fair enough but if not the guy clearly isnt too bright imo. He will be running around @ casey for a while. Clarkos ability to regenerate the team is seriously underrated in the wider community and from some players looking for a new home by the sounds of it. 4 time premiership coaches dont grow on trees.

 

[Breustiful]

This thread never ceases to amaze me


Whose the next big fish after Petracca?

Yes, the best players have a touch of FIGJAM, but also a healthy slice of “roll your sleeves up and get your hands dirty”, i.e. talent plus effort.

Petracca is promising but I don’t see much of the latter yet.

I agree, it’s an odd club for a young inside mid to nominate as they already have Oliver, Brayshaw, Petracca, Viney and Tyson off the top of my head, who won’t be going anywhere for the next 5 years.

He either rates his chances of leapfrogging a couple or he’s taken up the offer because nothing else was forthcoming?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

For very good reason, this is not the place to argue about who or what Hawthorn need to trade to get a specific player, and what our players are worth.

247 pages in and it still needs to be explained. Sheesh you guys!

 

[smokie]

I think after Hawthorns massive success at trading, all clubs think and are expected to be active. Due to this pressure clubs chase or over inflate ordinary players. Collingwood a prime example. Yet hawks rarely get the ‘big fish’, instead always go/look for value. No one could have projected how successful Hale, Gibson, Gunston, Burgoyne, Lake would have been

Coniglio, because he's mates with Jag's and Jono.

Agreed if he wanted a walk up start he should be talking to North.

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

Inb4 we decide to overlook him on draft night and everyone gets sad because they've unnecessarily grown attached to him. On a completely unrelated note, I love Joel Garner and hope we draft him if we get an earlier pick from Bris somehow.

Haha, you remember the great Mitchell Hibberd Meltdown of 2015?

 

[RIOLINWITPUNCHS]

Reckon Melbourne are better without Hogan, in a similar way to Hawthorn being better without Buddy. Multi-pronged attacks work better.

They'll get Lever and should trade hard with the Hogan deal and set themselves up for the next half dozen years. They probably will stuff it up though, as it's what they do.

I completely agree with this and i honestly believe Hogan is one of the most over rated players in the league.

I don't see much upside in him but who knows.

 

[sven_inc]

Haha, you remember the great Mitchell Hibberd Meltdown of 2015?

A little. It's really just a Frankenstein's monster of Ben Jarman, Harry Dear, James Langford*, Tristan Tweedie etc.

It begs an interesting question if anyone wants a trip down memory lane. Who else?

 

[RIOLINWITPUNCHS]

I've said it before but Garner will go top 15 for sure.

Pick 18 or 19 isn't going to get Garner however i think the club is targeting a guy who should be there at that pick should we get a late 1st rounder.

I have no inside knowledge but we have a track record of taking a gamble at the draft on players coming off injuries as they slip down the order more then often and I honestly believe the club has it's eyes on Aiden Bonar.

Unfortunately he has had an unbelievable combine and it appears his stocks have risen.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

I hope I'm heading into next seasons trade period with more excitement than this years one.

I hope we are heading into next year's trade period still celebrating the flag and not giving a shit what happens in trade period .

Welcome to Hawthorn Joel Garner

I was watching this couple of youtube clips on Joel Garner and i was thinking about how much he remains me of Hodge with the way he goes about it!





Than i come across this nice little read.

Garner is left-footed, supremely tough, is the traffic conductor at half-back and may as well have the word ‘leadership’ tattooed’ across his forehead.

Remind you of anyone?

Yep, Garner has been compared to Luke Hodge for a reason and you only have to watch him for five minutes to work out why.

He patrols contests, goes hard when he needs to but above all is never flustered and rarely rushed. He also tackles to hurt.

At quarter-time and three quarter-time, Garner addressed the players before coach Jason Broadbear did, further illustrating his leadership credentials.

“The fact Joel joined us in year 10 means he has made a big impression in a relative short period of time,” Scotch’s head of indigenous programs Rob Smith told Leader newspapers recently.

“He makes people feel valuable.”

It was noteworthy that Garner played almost exclusively in defence.

Maybe that’s where the team needed him, but more likely that’s his long-term future.

Either way, the Melbourne Grammar forwards let him run wherever he pleased.

At 183cm and 81kgs, he still has some filling out to do but his legs are sturdy and he has a distinctive pigeon-toed gait.

Garner also possesses lightning quick hands and terrific balance, which means he rarely gets caught with the ball.

Late in the third quarter he harnessed his inner Hodge, picking the ball up at half-back and banging it on his boot for a perfect torpedo.

There are plenty of players to watch in this year’s crop and Garner is undoubtedly one of them.

Our next young Hodge would be nice, if only somehow we can make this happen I'll be very happy

He is the exact sort of player Clarko would want regardless of the fact his brother will probably join us in a few years.

If we can't get him in the draft hopefully we can trade for him in a few years.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

I feel like we're all get a bit too attached to Joel Garner
