List Mgmt. Will the Hawks end up landing a big fish? Trade and FA news discussion of Hawthorn targets

[TazHawk15]

Offer him 5 years at $900,000. Sorted.

Throw in the chance for him to have his pic taken with the 3 Peat cups.

Sorted.

I don't think we are at all into McGovern. I don't think we ever have been.

 

[kirbatron]

Offer him 5 years at $900,000 & the chance to play with bro. Sorted.

Added a good bit

Did anyone watch On the Couch this week?

Tom Browne reported West Coast have offered Jeremy McGovern 4 years at 800k per season. However, McGoverns management is after 6 years at 1.1million per season.

I can't see us being players in the J.McGovern sweepstakes.

Reporters guess, don’t they ?

I don’t think I’ve ever heard a manager actually say “we want ‘X’ yrs & ‘X’ $$ “

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Norf and Saints going silly again - https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/sp...offer-for-jordan-de-goey-20180627-p4zo1s.html.

You'd think with North doing so well this year that they might try and retain some of their younger blokes and find a player or two to compliment the current list rather than the put all their eggs in one basket that will say no to them approach they tried last year.

 

[TylerDurden]

Puts the Pies out of the Lynch race for mine.

 

[WWSD]

Let the McGoverment raid begin!

 

[badgrill]

Sammy is taking this love of Robert Harvey a bit far now.

Probably still feels guilty about ending his career for him in the '08 Final

Wowser 3.2 vs 6.6....

No chance in the world McGovern’s agent is requesting this from the Eagles unless he has an offer on the table from another club.

Carlton have millions spare in their cap likewise Norf and St Kilda.

Maybe Mitch and Jeremy may both end up
at the Blues!!

I agree with all your points lickmerocks.

Carlton have the salary cap, the need to bring in A-grade talent no matter the cost, and will be far more willing/able to trade for Mitch McGovern at a price Adelaide will be demanding.

That's all contingent on players actually wanting to play for Carlton - who are absolute rubbish this year and don't look to have the young cattle that other sides do.

Every trade is contingent on a player wanting to play for a club.

Some players may move for greater opportunity or a better chance to contend. Others may move because financially it makes sense.

In regards to Jeremy McGovern, it's easy to infer which may be in play here...

Sure you can infer - but I am sure if there was a slightly less financially lucrative deal on the table with a club that hasn't been a basket case for 25 years then he would probably take the slight haircut to move to a contending club. Clubs like Carlton have barely made a dent in the free agency market - and there's a good reason for it.

I don't think Hawthorn are looking to play 1 million over six years (slightly less) for a 26 year old that plays his best footy as an intercept defender.

Sides that are desperate to make a 'dent' in free agency will gladly offer overs. Contending sides generally would struggle to fit 1.1 million into their salary. And those that could, run the risk of upsetting the apple cart.

 

[Gralin]

Yeah he's just an intercept defender

Impressive. He is a very good player no doubt. But that doesn't suggest he is a key defender.

He has a loss ratio of 30% in one-on-one contests this year. Frawley has 13%.

I don't think we are either. However - you need only look at Martin and Kelly last year to show that players aren't going to just jump on the big money deals if it is from a less than stellar club.

Carlton and St Kilda can make all the silly money offers they want - I don't think it puts them in the box seat.

 

[Sonny Hayes]

Think the De Goey news could help us, i don't see him leaving the Pies but the big $ offers will make the Pies increase the offer they put to him. I think this could make getting Lynch very very difficult for them.

 

[Jaeger]

I'd love De Goey but no way he's worth $1m a year.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Yeah De Goey to stay at the Pies & Lynch to the Tigers would be my guess.

Don’t rule us out. Media saying we’ve gone quiet. That’s coz we don’t leak.

That offer on the table I believe is from Fremantle. Mate has a very good inside source at the club

 

[MasterSamurai]

So, are tigers looking to trade out Rance or Cotchin or Dusty or Edwards or Jack Roo ?? How about that Prestia bloke sitting on the sidelines since he’s arrived at 700 clicks per season? Are they retiring one or two of those players?
Can’t see how tigers or pies fit Lynch in . Unless they lose some really high end talent.

Don’t forget some of these other guys putting their hand up for a pay rise now

 

[lickmerocks]

Hmm hard to say this but I have just been told we have an A Grader lined up for next year and the media has hardly spoken about this player. Not sure what to make of it and no I am not revealing my source.
