We all rightfully want shiny new toys, but what we really need is a string of good form and early wins next year prompting Wardlaw and Duursma contract extensions.

If Jy sticks around and contributes to winning I’ve got no issue with his contract or character. As long as the lads accept him back.

Im kinda mixed feelings about Jy. If he leaves on deadline day then f*** him.
If he stays, im open to it as long as he isn't captain and works back the respect of the playing group and the coaches. That's if the club has any backbone and strip's him off captaincy

I just don’t want any team bending us over and getting him on the cheap.

I’m quite happy for him to play for us next year on the wing as long as his can minimise his butchery of the ball. I would be even happier if he struggles to get a regular gig because one of our younger players has taken his spot.
 
Are people really happy to sell a top 5 club player for yet another >10 draft pick?

We're talking guys like Whitlock, Dawson, Goad, Goater, George, Hardeman, who are still probably YEARS away from shifting the needle for us. Chances say half of them don't make it. Hell, we have two top 4 picks currently adding nothing to our footy.

We need to get better now. Decent player swap or **** off, welcome back next year Jy.

The fact we even set the price at picks pisses me off.

Top 5 player? I have him on the bench right now.

Interesting article, even more interesting, that despite also referencing Geelong's offer for Curnow, it doesn't mention the Pies and Jy, amazing that you can have to two clubs trying to prise required and contracted captains out of two other clubs, but only one needs to understand the need to pay overs to get it done while the other has the entire AFL media acting as cheerleaders to try and assist them to a cheap bargain...

Disruption premium: Why the Hawks’ first, late Merrett bid just doesn’t cut it​

By Jake Niall​

October 14, 2025 — 7.38pm


Hawthorn’s first offer to Essendon for Zach Merrett came about 30 hours before the trade deadline, and wasn’t sufficient for the Bombers to even consider it seriously.
In normal circumstances, the offer of pick No.9, a future first-round pick, a future second-round choice, and a fourth-rounder or a fringe player (Henry Hustwaite), would be reasonable for an A-grade player who is 30 years old.

But these are not normal circumstances at Essendon and, as everyone has discovered, Zach Merrett is far from a normal captain or player.
Hawthorn have to understand that they’ve chucked a small bomb into Tullamarine by trying to purloin a skipper – also Essendon’s best player by a lamentable distance – at a time of tumult for the Bombers.

The mere fact of attempting to prise Merrett out of Essendon, when he has a contract, was an incendiary action that immediately put the Bombers into Rambo mode (“you drew first blood”).

To win over Essendon’s board, led by new president Andrew Welsh – who is taking a hands-on role and is heavily enmeshed in the discussions – the Hawks will have to pay overs to secure Merrett. This should have been obvious to the Hawks weeks ago.
In part, they have to pay what is best-described as a disruption premium. To get Merrett requires an additional tax on whatever he is worth, because of the carnage it has caused at the club he is seeking to depart. And that tax is not reduced by the lines in the sand, the 1980s history and general enmity between the red and black and brown and gold.
Merrett wants out, wanting success on the field after 12 years’ hard labour. Fair enough. Players are allowed to seek new employers. But the nature of his attempted escape has been so messy – and so incensed various people at Essendon – that Hawthorn have to take ownership of the situation. They are the prospective buyer, after all.

The deadline of 7pm on Tuesday night for Essendon accepting the draft part of the offer may or may not prove a bluff. But it does not strike as the best method to negotiate when you’re the party that a) is seeking a contracted player, and b) you have not offered a single player of value, ie, one with the prospect of improving Essendon, much less making the Bombers great again.
Hawthorn, understandably, have been coy about putting players on the altar as sacrifices for Merrett. The Hawks do not wish to cause grief within their playing group.
Is Cam Mackenzie actually available? If they haven’t already, Hawthorn should front him and let him know if that’s the case.
It is hypocritical to inflict harm on another club’s internal cohesion and then be unwilling to even consider a much less-disruptive conversation with your own players.

It is not as though Essendon are asking for Will Day or Jai Newcombe.
Is Mitch Lewis a chance? If so, the Hawks should hurry up and put him in the mix for the Merrett trade. It is unhelpful, too, that Sam Mitchell is overseas and might not be well-positioned to have hard conversations.
Pick No.9 is fine, but the other picks on offer are problematic. If Hawthorn landed Merrett, their 2026 first-rounder could well end up in the 16-20 range after academy bids and so forth; indeed, that would be the likely outcome.
Second-rounders, in that scenario, aren’t worth much.

It is surprising that both Hawthorn and Geelong (for Charlie Curnow) are so reluctant to put up half-decent players for trade, or that they were not willing to entertain players of merit, so to speak, much earlier. In fairness to the Cats, they have not been as hell-bent on Curnow as Hawthorn on Merrett.
Sydney, conversely, have been edging towards an offer for Curnow that the Blues can approve, albeit there were still wrinkles late on Tuesday. The Swans are at least putting Will Hayward and (the less compelling) Ollie Florent on the smorgasbord, in tandem with the picks.

It is not beyond the realms that Merrett will be traded at 7.28pm, for those first-round picks and a player who suddenly materialises on Wednesday. Or for a third high pick.

But what has been put forth first, weeks after Merrett’s meeting with Sam Mitchell detonated, was never going to appease the infuriated Bombers.
 
I’m fine with Jy staying, and on face value, I’m fine with how the club has handled the situation. Much better than expected tbh.

I think there is a possible positive outcome with Jy staying, and maybe inadvertently, he actually could be a catalyst for some really hard conversations amongst the player group.

I would prefer that it’s the players who confront Jy with some home truths and challenge him with a bit of “are you with us or against us?”. It’s a good opportunity for them all to realize that it’s team-first, and that’s the only route to success.

It needs to come from guys like Zurhaar and LDU and Larkey. They need to step up every bit as much as Jy imo.

This.
We actually need something to move the needle in the playing group. I can live with Jy staying or going provided that it sparks a change in attitude for the rest.

Rumour that he failed medical with an ankle but we'll probably never know if that's true given confidentiality around medical. Would probably explain the St Kilda silence.

I doubt we wanted to give a second rounder on a gamble if he failed med.

Thanks Sonja. :stern look
