The Hawks would still have to organise a trade. If he is in the AA squad they can offer all they want if we don't get what we want for him. They have a bunch of old guys and one or two goodish kids and a bunch of mid tier average players. And some how they don't have a first round pick this year. They have **** all we would want. If he wants to move send the campaigner back to Freo for Weller, Balic and Tucker.
Makes me ill to even think of Robbo leaving for Hawks but i reckon Bruest and their 2nd rounder with our 3rd going to them sounds about right .

No chance Burton ,
If we manage to land Kelly , Bruest and Pittard as FA and hit the draft with Hawks 1st & 2nd picks ....happy days , ticks a few of our weaknesses... midfield star , add 30-40 goal fwd , run off half back , 2 x young stars .
Robbo who ? :D

So what would Robbo be worth in terms of picks? First rounder?

If he makes the AA extended list his value would go up. He has made a few club stand up and take notice I reckon. Probably a first rounder and some change, he's still young and looks ready to lead a finals defence.

I really hope we don't **** this up, it could be like Greg Williams or Eddie Betts where $20,000 cost us a whole lot of embarrassment when we let him go. ******* Hawks ****** us on Carlisle, ****** us on Joel Smith and are just generally flogs. We should offer a heap for Burton straight up.

He's in our top 5 players, you don't let those go to improve.

This is why you don't overpay a Martin or Kelly to get them in the door, a premium yes but not stupid money.

Roberton and our other top players will want there money as well and fair enough.

Time for ameet to earn his money, nobody said it was easy it's hard enough playing SuperCoach.

Maybe around 16- 23 I reckon. He is having a great year but he is a HBF and even the best wouldn't be top 10 I reckon. We need to keep him. No point in getting one and losing a very good player.

I don't get what the pay to those guys has to do with Roberton. Can you explain. Of course we have to overpay them otherwise they wont leave. Nearly every good player that leaves a club gets overpaid at their next club.

Can someone explain to me how $700k is too much for Robbo? He's in All Australian conversations, rarely misses a target and is the right age demographic for us.
Surely it's affordable with the increased cap? Just pay the man
Maybe the improvement in Sinclair and Billings means their asking price has skyrocketed, a big payday for "Kelly and one other", (and we have no idea who and how good that other might be) means Robbo's form lift has caught the club by surprise?
Do we judge him on this years form alone or the whole of his previous contract? If Carlisle and Brown hadn't been so good would Roberton have as much licence to run?
With Stratton and Birchall getting older and injured, Hodge retiring and Gibson on his last legs, Roberton's height, run and disposal skills particularly his willingness and ability to hit targets going through the centre of the ground when most back men keep disposal efficiency high by going backwards and wide to an unmarked man, make him a no-brainer for Hawthorn to target.
Maybe it comes down to a choice between Roberton or Sinclair, if so I'll take the Jack.
