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.

The things I would do to get Finn Callaghan to the hawks..

Easily my favourite non-hawk player.

Superstar.

Superstar.

and such a smooth but powerful mover. a beast and could be the best in the comp in the next few years

Not bad for an outside player. No Newc, but goes ok

Yep. I can see him venturing further into the inside mid role as he develops. Only 22 (2 years younger than Newk) so it will be interesting whether GWS keep building his physique or they try to keep him a little trimmer.

Different players and I like Finn, but I love Newc

Would not swap them if offered

I love Newk, but would do that direct swap in 0.01 seconds if offered.

I struggle to think of many I would swap Newk for. Would have to be an absolute A+ player.

Aint ever going to happen anyway, the membership base would revolt if they did that!

[ahhhhhh]

Per Greg Swann it appears likely the sub will be scrapped. This would be very good news for our chances to retain/play Ramma next year.

Great movie. Machine gun one liners and Ralph Bellamy playing a character that looks like Ralph Bellamy

Superb player, just the ideal midfielder. I'd probably trade anyone on the list bar maybe Day and Newcombe for him (maybe Dear too).

Weddle?

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Weddle?

Callaghan is a better player, obviously.

But I should put Weddle in with Dear. Not that it matters anyway.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Reid is starting to hit his straps now.

What would we be wanting back if we put C- Mac up as a trade chip? His absolute refusal to do the hard stuff can be nothing but a liability in big games. Would we get a late first for him

Regularly in our top 5 tacklers including yesterday’s game but yeah sure whatever

You picked on the wrong bloke. He has his personal cheer club on here and they will attack you as soon as you mention his name in any bad light

He is the CJ of our forward half.

 

[Hawk the Talk]

I don’t think Croc has had a great year but come on, claiming he doesn’t do the hard stuff. Moore is the only forward to lay more tackles and he plays a lot more around the ball.

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

Like clock work.

No way we get a first. We'd be offered thirds, and not worth it.

Impey played forward for a quarter yesterday and I wish they would persist with him in the forward half. Provides exactly what is needed in the role. Just watch the Collingwood half forwards to see how they chase and tackle first and foremost. It is their one wood.
