Not sure they don't just enforce the automatic week off.
Coaches always want more interchange options, and they always get it.

Sheedy started the expansion thing back in the 90s...were fine with 2 for so long.

When you dont make them injury subs then a team is penalised when they do get an eaely injury as it becomes 21 v 22....or in new world 22 v 23

There's no way hawks give up their future second for Meek is there? Surely just walk away from the deal if the asking price is anything close to that

If Freo don't budge we'll walk away. Zero chance we use a second rounder on a fringe ruck.

Will rookie somebody from the state leagues and have another go at Meek next season when his contract is up.

Big sads for Meek because he hates just being the depth ruck in the AFL. Won the B&F for Peel

Hopefully Hawks get him for cheap next season

Based on the comparison between Frampton and Meek, Hawks should be offering a future 4th and nothing more:

Supposedly F3 has been offered and it is already a fair (if not more than fair) deal. That is a pick likely in the late 30's (or around 40) in a strong draft for a non-best 22 ruck. A pick in the early 20's (i.e. F2) would be massively overs.

In your mind maybe. Doesn't make it fact.

As been previously noted, the seller determines the value, not the buyer. Freo don't really want to move him imo.

Well, you'd best call the Hawthorn recruiting team and tell them!

Collingwood's 2023 3rd rounder is likely to be pick 50-54 (assuming they hit top 4 again)
Hawks 2023 4th rounder is likely to be pick 55-58 (assuming we are going to be bottom 4)

Its true, but they likely lose him at the end of 2023 when his contract is up, and they will have far less bargaining power - particularly as Meek is likely to be 3rd string ruck after Darcy and Jackson, and unlikely to play much AFL.

More focused on where that F3 is going to sit TBH, thats the picks thats in play.

Freo won't take a F3. He's contracted and he's a good ruck, the only reason he couldn't get a game is because Darcy and Lobb are in the team. Any team that doesn't have that caliber of player in their best 22 and he gets gametime.

We aren't talking about a ruck who can't get games infront of some average team mates.

"You better take our future 3rd or next year he might get traded for a future 3rd" is what I'm hearing.

Compare to any similar scenario - of which there have literally been hundreds over the last 5-10 years given the amount of ruck depth trades that occur every season.

Can you name any other non best 22 ruck that has gone for a top 25 pick? Cos I can list 30 players without a second thought that have gone for less (in basically identical circumstances).

We're they required players by their clubs though?

Meek is clearly someone we want on our list. Let's assume Lobb gets traded as it looks more and more likely by the report, we are literally one Darcy or Jackson injury away from being pretty ****ed.
Whether he is best 22 or not is not super important for us because he holds significant value even as a 2nd choice ruck.

Alternatively, if Hawks finish in the bottom few places we could potentially push Meek to the pre-season draft and get him for nothing
If you finish in the bottom few places and then waste your PSD pick on Meek then go for it. Stupid idea but hey you do you.
