News 2021 Trade/Free Agent News and reported targets Discussion

[Strapping Young Lad]

This thread is not to discuss current Hawthorn players and whether they’re tradeable, who they're linked to or what you think they’re worth.

This thread is about our Trade targets at other clubs that are linked to us via media(not facebook pages).

Reminder, we are also not thinking up trade hypotheticals of how you would get it done in here, or asking what these players we are linked to are worth.

Is he in a wheelchair

This would be more funny if we hadn't of blown a top pick on someone in a wheelchair previously

 

[Brishawk]

Wonder if the same 3 way negotiation will go on for Jack Billings when he jumps from the sinking Saints ship. AFL need to tighten up this system. No FA compensation should effect the top 10 at least or maybe the entire first round. Its not fair on the rest of the cellar dwellers being knocked done multiple positions in the draft.

If they allowed contracted players to be traded, there would be absolutely no need for compensation. The compo is a massive distortion which destroys the draft. Last year’s draft was an embarrassment.

 

[RoughysMullet]

Ha, I hate the bombers also mate. And look their current position was not one they wanted, it was pure dumb luck and not good management.

But... Let's be real here. The AFL didn't make Carlton give up pick 8 for a half back flanker. And... the AFL didn't force the Lions to give up band 1 compo for Daniher... Dodoro had a blinder.

Even more, they got a 20 year old mid that GWS offered five years too, for pick 29 and some pick swaps.. because they threatened to walk him to pre-season.

Crazy trade period for the pricks... I honestly hope, if a Cerra is a chance, we are pricks also this trade period... threatening pre-season draft. Sadly Mitchell isn't a free agent to get us band one.

AFL gifted them on the Daniher compo.. it was massive, a top 10 pick for a bloke that had barely played in 2.5 years..

I disagree. The Lions are paying Joe Daniher 2.5 million over three years. That's over 833k per year on average and makes Joe one of the top 20/25 highest paid players in the game.

I get that it's not transparent, but that type of contract has always been Band 1.

It’s nothing to do with what the player has done and it’s done on the salary paid.

Not sure if this is the place for it but let’s say Hill and St Kilda continue to slide.

Do we take Hill for a couple of years and try and use him in the correct way and see if we can reignite the flame?

 

[Jethro!]

I was all in when it became known Hill was returning to Melbourne because of his girlfriend‘s want to come home, but I think it’s clear Hill is only in it for the money now

That’s what happens when a youngish player, who already has climbed the mountain, moves clubs (cough Shai Bolton cough)

Shaun Burgoyne disagrees. How old was he in the Port flag?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Not sure if this is the place for it but let’s say ....

It wasn’t.

Two pages of arguments about a player thats never coming to Hawthorn, now deleted.

This is why we can’t have nice things

Silk experienced a lot of finals pain before and after winning one. There was lots of unfinished business for him. Brad Hill not so much.

Dons pulled out.

 

[MrPremiership]

Yes, I also pulled out of the race for Megan Fox.

Purely my decision

It’s not too late to put your hat back in the ring…

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Dons pulled out.

Isn't the latest thought that he's staying anyway.

 

[MrPremiership]

I'd imagine he tested the market to see if anyone would match the 8 year $8m deal.....and if no one is stupid enough to do that (hello North), then he'd just stay and bank the cash.

Coniglio is the interesting one now

Who's taking on that contract?

Eagles looking like they're on the decline. Perhaps going back home to Freo?

Agree there we won’t Gil has stuffed the Giants there

After Cogs' last 18 months, is anyone paying a first rounder AND paying close to $1m a year?

Nah no one maybe they could give us there pick 3 and then we will take the contract

 

[MrPremiership]

The Cogs to Hawthorn ship has well and truly sailed.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

That's how I think it'll play out.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Wouldn't be worth getting for free. Would completely stunt our rebuild.

 

[chopflop]

Cogs is a salary dump. They need to move assets or pay most of the contract to move him.
