Hawthorn’s 2019 Trade/FA - Targets/Incoming players discussion only

[lickmerocks]

Agreed. After what happened last FA / Trade Period there a lot around here that still feel scorned. I'm all for having a good laugh and all but with what could be transpiring over the next 12-18 months we will most definitely not be having the depth issues with our midfield. Let cards fall where there may

Yep expect the unexpected and you won’t be disappointed.

Mate you have your sources and I respect that but there are others here that have there’s too. I’m well aware of where you stand with all this so how about we just wait and see. If your right then well yay for you and we miss out on another top notch FA but if your wrong then maybe your source isn’t as good as you think.

We are in this up to our eyeballs and I hope that if your wrong that you’ll be big enough to take it on the chin.

Are you trying to say his issues are nothing to sniff at?

I guess nobody really nose...

 

[Brant]

I can’t see us changing our whole forward structure to fit in an ageing, troubled one trick pony.

He is done.

Leave Roughy alone, Rats!





Oh sh*t, you meant Buddy...

If you expect the unexpected you will routinely be disappointed. The world isn’t that unpredictable

Remember Clarko personally sacked pickers over the Buddy ‘trade’. He’s not returning

 

[lickmerocks]

Graham Wright just laughed when asked about Buddy and said that won’t be happening.

While I agree with that statement, you couldn't really expect him to say anything to the contrary if it was going to be happening.

No, but a normal Graham Wright response would be “we are at round 4 of the season and fully focused on this year and will look and discuss list management much later in the year”

Buddy can **** right off

Isn’t the bulldogs the retirement home for Sydney?

This years Free agent crop is pretty slim, GWS probably have best free agents available in Tomlinson, Reid, Buntine

AFL house has put out the word to the media that Lance is being traded to try to drum up some public support for the move from at least one teams supporter base. They need to remove the millstone from the golden child's neck.

He also played his best footy and won all his premierships at Hawthorn.

I would love Buddy back at the Hawks in 2020, at this rate #23 will be vacant end of 2019...

The only real value I can see is coming out of Cold Ghost Nuns.

Sam Day is a better player than he's shown (but loves an injury). He could be a pretty good KP player, at either end, & with Hombsch, Ben King, Rory Thompson, Jack Lukosius, 2m Peter (Wright), & Sam Collins all as established or developing KP players, they've probably got scope to lose 1.

Alex Sexton would be awesome, especially as he can play pressure/small forward as well as midfield, but his price would be huge as they'd 100% match any RFA bid.

Sam Day + Jon Patton as 2x free KPP over the off-season, with 2x emerging KPP coming through in Lewis & Kosi could be nice. Could also be a massive disaster as Day/Patton love injuries like Selwood loves sooking & Kosi/Lewis may never play 10x AFL games between them...

Sam Weideman's management have tabled their price with Melbourne, this would suggest they have fielded sufficient interest from other clubs. Herald Sun suggesting the figure is $650k.

Article suggests that GWS need to focus on midfield depth

The only way GWS needs more midfielders is if the Team bus crashes on the way to the ground...

Yup, they should definitely grab a State League player to add to their list, in case another 10-12 midfielders injure themselves at the same time.
