Unofficial Preview 2025 Hawk's Hypothetical Trade Discussion...now with added DFA spitballing!

[Strapping Young Lad]

This thread is becoming increasingly popular, and to keep some sort of order, we will have some….

Rules of engagement:

1. Bring valid news or links to Twitter posts from notable sources. Don’t post screenshots or “some bloke just said on SEN” or what some “trade whisperer” has posted on a Facebook page.

2. Ignore what other team boards are putting up as trade offers. Don’t quote or bring them here either.

3. Don’t post “buckle up” for the lols.

4. If you can’t say anything nice about Worpel or CJ, don’t say anything at all. The continued slaps and backhanders are just going to be deleted.

We probably owe Freo a player after what we did trading Meek and Conor MacDonald for O’Meara

No we don’t, they got hill for SFA and then they got a first round pick for him off the saints.

All I ask is they pay a fair price for Serong!

It was in yellow text for a reason

I thought you were just trying to make your opinion standout …. . My mistake

 

[Ned Ryerson]

I wonder if we get more picks with Serong, Hustwaite etc, GC will swap them for Bear instead of a High first round pick.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Everytime I hear the name O'Driscoll I immediately think of Red Dead Redemption 2.

You’re a good man, Flamin Joe.

Here we have a beautiful couple, one of whom is the most feared operator in the AFL.

The other is her husband Sam Mitchell

Uncle Buck still holds up too - watched it during the lockdown era and enjoyed it thoroughly. So many jokes that went over my head as a kid.

100%

Like people can scoff at them throwing overs in terms of salary cap, but they're a small market team and having a proper crack at it. Very much how Sammy saw our list, knew there were some good senior heads to use like Sic & went hard at available targets.

Saints know they have that two-year window to show Nasiah they will be in finals, and they aren't going to die wondering. I expect they will be very inconsistent for at least the first few months, as they're basically integrating in a handful of players and there are question marks regarding all their lines.

But if they make finals next year, it's a massive win for them and may help them tie NWM down for longer. The worst case scenario is if they fall into the same issue they did previously, and become perennial 9th to 12th teams. But I feel their youth is a bit better than when they last rebuilt their list.

Tauru will be a star - gutted we couldn't somehow swipe him, being a Hawks fan growing up.

Sometimes these things come full circle. 1 of the picks we gave Stkilda so we could get pick 10 for the O'Meara trade was pick 36, which they Selected Josh Battle, a mad Hawthorn supporter growing up.

Battle leaves as FA to Hawthorn and they get pick 8 and select Tauru, a mad Hawthorn supporter growing up. He will be a FA one day.

Watched it with the kids recently.

Mrs Mighty had flown interstate unexpectedly as her dad was in hospital.

Had totally forgotten the premise of the film...

Pick 8 and HH only ?

That would be a win.

 

[FB19]

Can we all agree on one thing to stop this thread going off the rails. Or accurately more off the rails. It is the 2025 hypothetical trade discussion, why on earth are we talking about Nick Daicos going to Tassie? When you post please ensure it relates to this trade period, then post the whackiest shite your head can imagine. This has been a public service announcement.

Who is gettable if Serong choses Fremantle?

F3?
Maybe F2 if we give them our own F3.
He can play, but the fact that he played VFL all season may reduce his value.

There’s absolutely zero percent chance of that happening

 

[TONYC3163]

That would be a win.

It will be more than that - imho.
They don’t have to trade.

 

[Newmo89]

First and second round pick and a fringe player for Merrett is looking more likely.

As long as 'fringe' is HH, not Reeves.

 

[Hawked Wings]

First and second round pick and a fringe player for Merrett is looking more likely.

That would be a big win!
Got any other news for us Newmo?
Appreciate your work

Man I love your updates

 

[MasterSamurai]

Merrett will be a huge get..huge!!! If we're able to keep our FF as I wanted, that would be great. At worst we'll need it for one of the RFA guns next year.
