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

[Topiary]

There seems to be a bit judgement as to whether Brodie is any good. I get that he hasnt shown much, but like Scrimshaw before he got to us, it's easy to judge someone not at their best and assume that represents them as a footballer.

I can see Brodie being a great footballer - away from the GCS. It's easy to forget he was touted for part of his draft year to be a potential number 1 pick.

After a chat yesterday with someone close to him and also heavily involved in junior footy in this town, BE ASSURED, the kid can play AND WILL be a very, very competent player should he get the chance to return “home”.
Further, be very assured, we are NOT the only Melb club trying to gain his services. According to my family contact, he has had serious approaches from at least 4 clubs.

Land Parish and Brodie on the cheap and we would be laughing

what's the knock on him, he's a bit small? not included in round 1 team and now dropped (doesn't dissuade him from being a target for me)

We won't get him for a bag of chips like the Scrimshaw deal, Carlton, Saints, and North would be keen.

Poor kick and a bit too similar to their other mids. Angus Brayshaw started last year in the VFL as well Parish imo could easily get to that level.

Where has this Parish stuff come from ?? Can’t see it, really have not heard anything at all, HOWEVER, he was big fave of GW as a junior.

I guess he's out of favour and out of contract. Other clubs looking (nothing about us specifically)

Dodo. He'll want 2 x firsts.

Parrish... never happen.

He’d be a great pick up but I just don’t see where he fits if he isn’t on ball.

I’ve been made aware our interest isn’t very strong if at all

Parish looks like he wants to be a mid but really is a a hff. Just seems to be lacking something although I’d be willing to take him on for cheap...but that won’t happen as it’s dodo.

Bit soft and plays on the outside from what I've seen. He doesn't have the pace to be damaging on the outside.

I agree with Rough and Love to a degree. My info is a little more qualified. He is not a top line target YET. That will change should Cogs stay and/or the strategy to position us to have a run at Anderson and Maguiness is affected.
I have no doubt we have been involved in discussions. As has Scrim.
But as I said above , other Vic Clubs having enthusiastic conversations with his management. Will be amazed if he is not back in Melb next year.

Parish would be pretty good at bringing Worpel water and towels during training. He's earned that opportunity.

 

[tige19]

Parish is a bog average footballer, has shown no more than James Cousins at senior level, in fact I'd take Cuz over him every day of the week. Pass

I would have thought Haircut. It's not Hawthorn. We'll wear mullets but not that.

 

[WWSD]

If you want a ready made midfielder then Brayden Sier would be a good fit. Can’t break into the Pies strong midfield.

 

[MasterSamurai]

Parish is slow as treacle , not just lack of speed but even a simple decision to handball which is always his first option ! If you’re a slow inside mid then you need other special attributes and he doesn’t have them.

And bad hair.

I’m thinning, but I can comfortably say that he has very bad hair...

Hi Topiary , is it your understanding that drafting Anderson, is a priority for us , if possible ?

 

[Nugett]

Parish? We ain't trading with Dodo.

You don’t want to pay 5 first rounders, and taking on 20 different Essendon contracts for a potatoe?

Seems like the usual asking price from Dodo for any Essendon player, while he offers a half chewed bbq chip for other players.

I would also be looking at Gallucci fm Adel. Good pace and a good kick both sides of his body.
I have no idea why he can’t break into a poor Crows side atm

Maybe we can dress up one of our depth mids as Mark Williams (aka Shotgun) and jag a first rounder out of him

Best deal ever, although truthfully would love to see a Mark Williams in our forward line again! Great hands, brilliant set shot, played above his height. That mark he took in the wet against Essendon was brilliant, Dodo must have been fist pumping when he thought he had turned him!
