Strategy 2021 Draft and Hypothetical pick trade proposals

[Strapping Young Lad]

Lol seriously can we just have a ban on posting things ol clickbait Kornes says…

none of it is interesting and it’s all designed to just stir people up.

Hodgey wants a new rule! Hodgey gets a new rule.

No more clickbait shit from Cornes in here.


Also:

Can we also threadban Rendell quotes. The bloke is senile.

Done

I'd say that says more about our lack of desire to get McPherson. If we wanted him that badly we would get him but obviously we don't

The player wouldn't be relevant really though, our reason for doing it would be the better draft pick/s

Plus, McPherson would probably play games for us

When he starts asking for a contract extension to come back to Melbourne (which is what he put to North), then its probably reasonable we didn't go down that path... One year, no problem, two years, maybe, three years..Probably a bad investment.

Players are not commodities. Its not a stock to buy and sell at your leisure. Every player on the list is part of our plan to succeed. If they are no longer of value and they get superseded they get delisted or traded.

 

[Pinoy Hawk]

I am not sold on Brander (I know some of you are).
Looks like he will be delisted.

has attracted interest from multiple clubs, but West Coast will not be brokering a trade for him.

Brander is now all but certain to be cut loose as a delisted free agent, opening the door for 17 clubs to get him for nothing.

Brander would prefer to play as a third marking forward, but has spent most of the last two seasons on the wing for West Coast.

As first reported by Foxfooty.com.au, Carlton expressed interest in him, but Lewis Young

was their priority.

There is still a chance the Blues could offer him a lifeline, maybe even as a rookie.

What better draft picks though? We were never going to move up to their pick in the first round purely by providing them salary cap space.

People were suggesting McPherson and pick 3 for our pick 5. That makes very little sense from a GC perspective. I wouldn't do it at Hawthorn if the roles were reversed.

 

[Toasted]

Just chatting with one of our players. He was certain none of the big names were (want to) leaving. It would take a great offer and some sweet talking for one of those guys to move on.

Is it because they believe in the direction of the club or because they’re aren’t any better offers out there

I wouldn't either but I guess it would depend on how desperate they are for that cap relief

I am not sold on him at all.....

 

[Big Hotdog]

I am not sold on him at all.....

List spots are too valuable. Brander is going to be behind a number of lads for a run on the G.

 

[butlers hawks]

I am not sold on him at all.....

i mean…he would be a free swing and we have cap space so doesn’t really cost anything I am not against bringing him in but if they don’t then we are in as good a position to know about him as any others with our coaches now

 

[KermitJagger]

He's stagnated as a player since he was 16, but if Mitchell and co see some value it's worth a punt.

 

[Aramis]

So whats the latest? No big trades and our draft hand as it stands sub-30 wont change?

Shit result if thats the case.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

 

[Toasted]

That one could of worked

 

[flinchfree]

See I think the biggest part of the success under Clarkson was an extremely talented playing group with starts on every line.

Having lived here in the US the last 20 years, I hope like hell Australians don't sell out what makes their sports special.
Otherwise, you end up with laughable results as a supporter where lone gun stars travel through teams looking for the most money and assembling super teams, only to bundle off again at the first sign of difficulty.
I love the GS Warriors, but could hardly give a fig over the chips they won with Durant. He's such an ass.

 

[Aramis]

jeez, pick 13 for a 30 year old Breust...

 

[WWSD]

How many times now has Breust rejected going to GWS?

 

[Hawks851]

we ganna see all the hate directed at breust the same you all knocked chad ?

maybe he can play at box hill with chad

 

[Stratton24]

jeez, pick 13 for a 30 year old Breust...

probably would would have been a swap of 13 for 21 or something like that not just 13

 

[Since 2001]

Does this show good signs of senior players not wanting leave? Either means they have faith in tge playing group and mitchell to improve next year or they are happy in melbourne and their pay.

We did show rewlly good signs at the end of last year.

 

[KermitJagger]

jeez, pick 13 for a 30 year old Breust...

Breust could kick 50 goals in the right team next season. If you think you're in with a chance of winning over the next few years, Breust is well worth it.

 

[Hodginator]

Hawthorn football club in disarray

 

[flinchfree]

I don't get this. The players are asked to move when they come through the draft when their wages theoretically are at their lowest. Why can't they be asked to move when they're getting paid through the life of their contract. I'm pretty sure even minimum wage players can comfortably afford an average rental in every city in Australia. If necessary, give them a relocation payment that is payable by the club that takes them on. The contract is their security, the contract should be movable.

I'm thinking you don't have a wife or kids. Or care if your parents/family is around to support them or you as you build a life.
Or think that spending dough on rent isn't lost money, when you realistically at best have 10 years earning in the sport to try and set up.
Or that your mates and best friends are important, maybe just as important as playing the game.
Or that you can get shipped to an absolute dumpster of a team with no chance of winning, perhaps in your window of playing.

Seriously, it's like you think it's a video game and the players just out there for your benefit.
Hard to believe this I know, but they play for themselves, their families, their teammates, and their own desires and dreams before giving a shit if you as a suppporter can be satiated by treating them as a piece on a monopoly board.

 

[Rocket72]

I'm a bit surprised. Great that Luke wants to stay with us, but at 30 he is not likely to play in another final. From the outside GWS look to be in their premiership window. Players play football to play in finals, so.....

 

[Lickmesocks]

How many times now has Breust rejected going to GWS?

I will personally drive him and his Mrs to GWS for pick 13
