Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

2024 Picks



2025 Picks

I know its 12 months away but I cannot understand those advocating we go after Harley. We have plenty of cap space now but we will need quite a bit for our younger players as they establish themselves. You only need to look at the past few years to see clubs in all sorts of trouble with overpaying players to come to their club.

 

[StackedHunch]

That's how I became a Hawk.

Probably gonna end up home schooling mine

Curious to ask...was your immediate family big into footy? Mine wasn't, which is why i was coaxed to the Hawks (suggestion at school coupled with fanatical neighbour taking me to games).

 

[Changa10]

My stepson went to games at Waverley with my wife and I for years and he was a Hawk. He over time got pissed off at me one time for something and decided on the Roos in spite of me.

Who's laughing now!

(BTW, he's not really into footy these days). My daughter is a through and through Hawk.

This I can understand if he barracks for North

 

[Hawkers Hero]

My girls know the 'Hawkies' are good guys and everyone else is a baddie.

Little one likes to rile me up by booing the Hawks from time to time though.

We'll be at least asking the question.

I get that he's more than likely the cherry not the sundae. If we can get him to nominate us then we're three quarters there. Look at the simplicity Mackie held his nerve in trading pick 17 and a throw away pick for Smith.

Home schooling… and not letting them out of your sight before being indoctrinated seems the best way to ensure no deviation from the true path is followed!!

Shoot me before home schooling. I have enough trouble getting them to eat or drink anything remotely decent.
I also blame Curnow and Cripps for my woes. Even Ginnivan and the Wiz couldn’t sway him.

[SSSSSS]

Curious to ask...was your immediate family big into footy? Mine wasn't, which is why i was coaxed to the Hawks (suggestion at school coupled with fanatical neighbour taking me to games).

My old man was Fitzroy.

First game I went to the footy as a little one was at Waverley Park and the Lions beat the Hawks. Think it was 94.

I liked the Hawthorn colours better and thought they were a cooler animal. Most of my friends were Hawthorn and so I didn't need much convincing.

 

[streetspirit]

Yep, I'm sure I'm not the only one here whose early childhood ambivalence got hijacked by mates in primary school in the 80s. My Cats mother and Saints father let it slide surprisingly. And here we are.

 

[Nugett]

What a prick, unforgivable

Nothing worse then trying to convert someone elses kids to another team. The Mum/Dad should have memories going to the games together and going for the same team!

Fair game for the Mum and Dad to battle it out though

My sister is a Scum supporter, my mother was Adelaide crows and my father is a St.Kilda supporter.

So between them, they have experienced 7 premierships in their respective lives, where as I have experienced 11.

 

[Tugofawar]

And now they have less ability to cover those injuries too. Do or die.

Blues also going to be without Acres for a while after major back surgery in off season

 

[Harper_Hawk]

Owies' contract expired this year, whilst Fantasia came across from Port on a 2-year deal (with one left to run).

Unless they were going to waste money by paying out Fantasia and extending Owies....getting him to WCE as a trade before his contract expired made complete sense.

From a financial and contractual point ok. But on field…no. Fantasia is well past it. Blues just handed a goal kicker to the West.

[FB19]

I think we need to be ready for the fact that given our list and that we got our targets this years draft period will be quiet. We will only take 1 pick at the draft which is the point of interest. Do we simply take 33 and keep our future picks in a deep draft or look to trade up? This assumes the Beast from the East is a given addition of course.

 

[grumbleguts]

Mate you have no idea. Sammy made a special trip over to piss in Tom's ear.
Keep up.

This isn't true, Tom started it, between your sobs, stop and think for a second. He was playing for West Coast. Of COURSE he wanted the f**k out. He looked at Hawthorn players actually enjoying life. Made a few calls. Even asked to have the fireys come and hose the West Coast off him.

 

[grumbleguts]

How's the end result working out for you.

The end result of what? You're the one with the 20 cents. and in need of a clue. There's a reason your username is an anagram of "bad vices" stay off the glue.

 

[Mercy Seat]

Mate you have no idea. Sammy made a special trip over to piss in Tom's ear.
Keep up.

Tom was already in the bag when that trip happened. Probably was pissing in another Eagles player’s ear…

 

[triple treat]

Could we offer the Blues F1 and our pick 33 this year for 20,23 and 24 ?

 

[cryptor]

Could we offer the Blues F1 and our pick 33 this year for 20,23 and 24 ?

I think we might need a F3 before we can move our remaining F1.

I Reid you.

Take a chill pill Dude.

Why swap 2025 pick 2 for so little value?

 

[VicBased]

Probably was.
He has no scruples whatsoever.

I keep reading your user name as “VicBias” which would also work pretty well as bigfooty eagles nuff

 

[Elhawko]

Take a chill pill Dude.

Is your surname Cousins?

Clever boy.

You guys are lousy parents
My three boys are all HFC members
Even the one with no interest in football says he supports Hawks
The other two are fanatics
