So essentially swap Titch + 1st round pick for an upgraded 1st round pick?
Pass

There's been talk about Tom Boyd being encouraged to take a pay cut in order to "take the pressure off him" and to allow the Bulldogs to recruit someone like Hurley. I wasn't aware that could be done once a contract was lodged with the AFL. Is there a possibility in us asking some of our players to do that?

That would make an interesting conversation. "Hey, Tom. We think you'll be so much happier on 400k than a million. We're all about your welfare. So we'd like you to agree to change the terms of your deal. No pressure. Ps: the club President will personally write it for you. No pressure. In fact he's already done so and is waiting in the next room
Seriously, no pressure. We want to take the pressure we created via our ineptitude off you. No pressure. "

Don't think we'll have the huge warchest that a lot are saying- Hanners, Parker etc long term contracts would've been factored in for the increase in salary cap.

But after couple retirements last year and now this year, and if Mitchell goes- I'd imagine we'd have enough for a handy replacement on decent money and not have 2 many dramas with out of contract players next season.

Freo get ripped off in that deal. Hill isn't worth a high first round pick.

AFL said it themselves...'you can't have everyone'!

they will pay it and they will get stung... Hill will be exposed in anything less than an extraordinary team

If it gets us a shot at SPS, Ainsworth, Venables, etc I'd do it.

 

[Superstar swan]

Another top 10 pick would he nice

 

[brad cooper]

Adding another high quality player or 2 via the draft would be huge, we will have pick 18 and another first rounder for Mitchell, if he goes. (Not that i want him to go). Having already 2 of the best players out of the last 2 drafts means the future will stay bright.

so freo trade down from pick 3 to pick 15-18 for brad hill? at least put lube on next time

Its freo, they dont expect to win trades0

you've changed your tune

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Not really. When you can get elite talent you do it. That said I don't want to go from let's say pick 18 to 8-9, that would be pointless. The top 5-6 is elite then it evens out. If we can get Freo's pick go for it.

Can't we just send Mitchell and our 15-18 to Freo for their pick three, and they can trade the 15-18 pick to Hawthorn for Hill (which is what he's worth).

Basically, is there any way of doing this trade that does not help Hawthorn?

 

[Tedeski]

That's totally irrelevant if the Hawks are better off!

You need to do your research & get with AFL protocol my friend!

Freo also need orchestrate a trade for mcarthy who i think gws will play hard ball with

freo to get hawks first as well then maybe. i said other picks,a nd they send those two to gws fpr McArthy and gws get more points for their acadamies

GWS has no currency with McCarthy. He's gone. They can play all the hardball they like, but all it means is they have a player taking up cap space who's over in W.A. playing WAFL. Playing hardball just f**** with a young man and costs them cap space. They will trade him to Freo for peanuts if it'll get him off their books.

Isn't he out of contract at end of year? No other club is going to touch him considering what happened this year, GWS will either get the bare minimum or he will waltz through the PSD

Think he still has another year left on his contract

 

[Superstar swan]

still another year for mcarthy. No doubt gws will not want to start a reputation as ones to be bent over, they will tell freo we want first pick or we will leave him to continue to train with south freo for another 12 months
