We've been confident for a while now that it will get done. This time tomorrow we will all be happy with our weeks work
Many many thanks from horses and humans for sharing info with us '09.
This is very exciting. :blueheart:
 
If GWS need bonar off the books and can’t get rid of him, bonar & Caldwell for future 1st
Dreaming. We would be lucky to talk Giants into letting Caldwell go on his own for future 1st rounder but praying SOS is trying it on.
Bonar I not care much for as second or third look at him as a player did not over impress me. Let someone else get him on his own for a late second rounder or early 3rd rounder.
Caldwell himself is easily worth an early first round pick on the first 5 minutes I seen of him on debut v Hawks in the Canberra snowy conditions. We'd be getting a steal if we can talk Giants into letting us have him for our 2020 first rounder. I doubt they do it but you would try..

When looked at trade tracker today, the trade that made me go WTF most was North and Dees trade. North have not much elite young talent and traded out one of earliest picks they had in some time. Just do not understand it at all. They got future first rounder from Dees but unless Dees have another season in bottom 4 it makes no sense to me. I expect Dees to bounce back middle of ladder at worst so North I cannot see getting a better pick next year than this year's first rounder they just traded away. Looks silly to me as a strategy when crying out for more young talent in door asap.
 
Trading phillips will break our 16 year streak of not dealing with Essendon during trade period. Last swap with them was also a ruck, when Matthew Allen went to the bombers.


Was that the same year as Justin Murphy went to them?


I thought the last trade was camporeale?


Went to them through the PSD.

Hence why he be traded for not much. Buyer beware. Hawks are paying more for Patton than we are for Betts.
Patton would be on decent coin and GWS probably making Hawks pay most of it to allow for and the drat pick is of less importance in the trade.
If Hawks were not willing to pay most of Patton current contract , GWS would have asked for higher draft pick.
With Eddie we only got a one year contract with him and I bet SOS talked Eddie management to reduce what he going to be paid next year. Eddie will get less than he was on. Patton management would have not allowed Hawks to reduce his pay like we doing with Betts.

Contract is re-done for Patton. Off the books for GWS & extended deal at HFC.

Same as Eddie’s not on his $600K but Adelaide are chipping in on part only.

So Hawks paid the same for Patton as we did for Betts? About time they started getting shafted at the trade table.

Blokes done a knee 3 times, plays at 105 kegs and his primary skill is jumping.

A 50 year old Eddie would kick more goals than General "Soreness" Patton will.

A bit rough. Our skipper will be making his way back from his second ACL. Hope Patton all the best at the Hawks and a healthy end to his career.

Yeah, all made sense when looked at trades that biggest part of negotiations was money and not the picks.
All clubs got what they wanted and Eddie had to get talked down to pay cut if he waned to get to us rather than goto Suns on lot more money and longer contract. I suspect we made a verbal agreement to look into Eddie staying on as part time skills coach when he eventually retires.

I wish Phillips all the success and accolades Allen had at * then.
