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.

Merrett deal is done. Petorro done his handshakes with Essendon already. Now just shooting the shit with [PLAYERCARD]justin leppitsch[/PLAYERCARD] in the hall way.

No doubt they will wait another 90 minutes before lodging though.

Actually?

Look I'd still cheer for worpel if it wasn't for the fact he's at the bloody catters

I just hope he doesn't get booed, like Issie was.

 

[Hawker55]

Gee our supporters are just as bad as the rest based on some of the comments in this thread.

 

[Yardie]

Um, define proven

He has played finals……

 

[Meek Juggernaut]

Ummm dont we want Merrett winning the Brownlow and * winning the spoon?

Cats can come 17th. Worpel csn come 2nd in the Brownlow.

A brownlow is not the medal Zerrett is coming to Hawthorn to chase.

 

[badgrill]

Steve Bannon's on the GCS team?

 

[kazzooka]

Actually?

Just my view of it. No inside knowledge other than what i'm seeing on Trade Radio.

I did get word from a former Essendon employee, earlier today the deal was pretty much agreed to last night after our first offer and what the final offer should look like so that has enhanced my confidence of it.

 

[Atch]

I just hope he doesn't get booed, like Issie was.

That's a tough one

 

[HairyO]

A brownlow is not the medal Zerrett is coming to Hawthorn to chase.

Sure, but winning with our team would represent an insane season.

Maybe Norm Smith is a better one for him tho

 

[MasterSamurai]

Tom morris is a flog
2 first round draft picks and 1 early second pick without a valuable player for a 30 year old isnt going to move the needle? Ffs

Well, I dare that cretin to say that in front of Petroro!!! ****ing clickbait chaser.

 

[sinkintins]

Actually?

They announced we gave a 2nd offer and then we've had zero details about it since. Bit odd imho.

 

[badgrill]

these 2 waiting for the dunny or something

Correct. We're all as bad as each other. Accept Essendon... they can take a pineapple up the proverbial.

 

[Meek Juggernaut]

Does suggest they're saving that bit of information for 90 minutes or so...

 

[HawthornHawk]

This thread moves at light speed...

Are we a chance for anyone other than ZM?

 

[kazzooka]

Does suggest they're saving that bit of information for 90 minutes or so...

You can see Cal Twomey getting texts and his face dropping. He's shattered, biggest Merrett fan since before the 2013 draft.

 

[seysearles]

So if this deal goes through, what picks are we left with in this draft and 2026.

 

[cryptor]

WHAT IS PLAN B?

It's called stretching it until the last 30 minutes to get maximum ad revenue.

I guarantee they're charging advertisers 10x their regular rate during the final hour of today.

 

[kazzooka]

So if this deal goes through, what picks are we left with in this draft and 2026.

62, 76, 94, 112

 

[badgrill]

WHAT IS PLAN B?

Humphry B.?

 

[kazzooka]

WHAT IS PLAN B?

Ollie Greaves

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

So if this deal goes through, what picks will we left with in this draft and 2026.

probably a similar haul to when we nabbed Morrison and Lewis

 

[Kuuz]

I just hope he doesn't get booed, like Issie was.

Yeah same. Worps is just such a top bloke - and will always remember that goal vs the Bombers.

Should be cheered.
