Anyone hear Hawks into ballenden ? They are searching for a forward
He re-signed like 6 weeks ago so I'd be surprised. Patton is all the talk for Hawthorn.

IF and that’s a big IF we could pry him out it would take plenty IMO. The real issue is that he was tied to them as NGA but played at Swan Districts and would love to know how much they actually had to do with him in the first place. If it was similar to the NBA and NFL I would trade for him and Allen and give them our first (Pies) and second (Suns) which could help facilitate their quest to get Tim Kelly.What would it take to get Charlie's brother over here? Looks like a chip off the old block doesn't he? Probably too much but that is understandable on WC's part.
Imagine seeing those 2 in the same forward line

Lol dude has played 2 games. Calm your farm on giving up that much for him and allenIF and that’s a big IF we could pry him out it would take plenty IMO.

Overs? Yep, but that’s what it would take IMO. Allen I highly rate and was one I wish we drafted and we were interested but WC jumped us. Both are young and add to our side. In regards to Jarrod we have his brother and can see what he can eventuate to and he also showed at the nationals that he has some serious talent. Sometimes you have to pay overs and understand how it might help the seller.Lol dude has played 2 games. Calm your farm on giving up that much for him and allen

Yeah as I mentioned elsewhere I'd wait a couple of years to see how he develops, then try and poach him. Does he have any connections to Qld/Brisbane like Charlie?
Gold Coast either have top end kids, or kids that aren't likely to make it, plus the two rookie kids they picked up in the SSP and Mid Season rookie draft.Why can't we do a deal with Gold Coast this year. They need mature players to protect their kids and stiffen them up. We need some quality youngsters. Give them Keays, Eagles, Cutler, Basti for a couple of young fellas we can develop. Not looking for early draft pics, just quality kids that our recruiters can run their eyes over and cherry pick based on our values.
We should have taken Allen ahead of Starcevich.West Coast didn't jump us for Allen, we took starc and Bailey over him when we had two picks in the teens.
We already have Wooler who plays a similar role to him why would we need him??
we aren't in dire need for a player like Jarrod that we play overs when he is so underproven?
We've had alot of success with trades recently doesn't mean we get trigger happy and just go after players willy nilly especially when unproven
Ha, I had the same thought today, but didn't think to include Allen as well.IF and that’s a big IF we could pry him out it would take plenty IMO.

Sounds good, Keays, Eagles, Cutler, Basti in a straight swap for Ben Ainsworth, Izak Rankine and Jack Lukosius it is then.Why can't we do a deal with Gold Coast this year.

We should have taken Allen ahead of Starcevich.
I know people here like Wooller as he's one of our own draftees, but Allen is a definite upgrade of Wooller. Long term I'd have Allen ahead of McStay. Allen already plays smarter, runs genuine patterns, leads in to space and is very good mark.
Well yes.haha, if we are talking should haves...it should have been Tim Kelly
GWS are "good" and they keep losing top players each year.Surely some decent players around the competition would be putting their hand up to be willing to come up here, now we are going good? Any speculation around?
Jamie Elliott... is a free agent...

I believe some people over estimate the attractiveness of "good" teams are to players, especially when we're out of the footy heartland.
We probably have to target players like Neale, McCarthy, etc, where being out of the spotlight is a selling point.
Who do I pick at 1?The BigFooty Phantom Draft Trial Run starts Thursday at 9am for anyone wanting to check it out.
I like Jamie Elliott although with him and Linc McCarthy they play very similar roles.Surely some decent players around the competition would be putting their hand up to be willing to come up here, now we are going good? Any speculation around?
