What does everyone think of this counter offer

Hayward, 11, future first and a future second for Charlie
And then we give them 22 for Florent and 63 in a separate deal?

Then we trade Sydney’s future 2nd for Buku and 33 or 37.

 

[Its an amigo!]

Just been replaced by younger players in a season you finished lower than us....

Sounds like a gun. We will give you pick 11 and 22 for him (TDK + JSOS effectively).

Look at it the same way as the Matt Kennedy situation. Has been a decent player in the past, falls out of favour with the new coach for whatever reason and there is a surplus of players in his position.

Under Longmire he was a first choice player, Cox doesn't see him the same way. Same as how Voss just didn't rate Kennedy. Kennedy has now shown at the Bulldogs he is still a good player.

Contract may not be great, but Florent as a player has a lot of good footy left in him and would easy be a best 23 player for us. Who knows the details of the deal - Sydney may even pay a part of his salary.

So does Jacko's, apparently.

I am not an ITK, but the trade will go through by 5pm tonight.

 

[NavySteel]

So Hawks offer for Merrett, in principle, is the same (maybe slightly better because pick 9) than to us for CC by Sydney.

How does Merrett compare to CC as a need and value add to those teams?

Is the parallel about right?

You're an ITK now mate

 

[yibbida]

Who would play it better than him? For the love of god don’t mention Elijah.

HBF - Newman, Saad. Cowan should over take him next season. Carroll also.
Wing - Cottrell, Walsh, Hollands, probably Acres.
HFF - Anyone who kicked more than 2 goals last season..... Ainsworth is better than Florent as a HFF, what pick did we trade for him?. Also rather have Moir, Evans, Williams and Motlop in the team.

 

[mrkyuss]

Can we trade Charlie to Hawthorn ?

 

[Blues_1864]

GWS should swoop in and outbid Sydney for Curnow to pay them back for Buddy.

What do we want from GWS?

Cadman, Greene, and a 2026F1 would be a nice starting-point...

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

So is it pick 22 or a later pick now ??? The info coming out seems to have shifted now .....

Both from Tom Morris. The update was Pick 22

 

[ESKIE]

How is the Hawks offer better?

The future picks will all be towards the end of the first and second rounds in 2026, Hustwaite has played 10 games of footy.

Not understanding how that is better than 2 firsts, Hayward & Florent?

I agree

 

[SolGoodman]

Can we trade Charlie to Hawthorn ?

You're telling me you wouldn't melt if that offer was for Charlie?

 

[SammaGilberto]

Cadman, Greene, and a 2026F1 would be a nice starting-point...

Would we have to give them pick 22?

 

[SolGoodman]

Sol, just wanted to let you know that you need to charge your phone

The hero I need but don't deserve, I salute you.

No, not similar deals. Because Will Hayward is a top player.

Apart from Walsh, who plays more midfield than wing, Florent is a better wing than any of those others.

What ever happens with the Charlie trade I’m not going to judge, I’m going to look at our overall trade period 2025

 

[Shambolic]

I thought florent was poor this year but would happily search up a game for positive review. Don’t suppose he was any good in their GFs.

Were any of them good in their recent GF's?

22 for Florent and 63 is way too much. Florent is worth a late 2nd/early 3rd.

You will judge and you will like it

Which trade? Surely we aren't sending back 22.

Was 7th in their B&F last year, fell out of favour with Cox this season it seems.

George Hewett didn't feature in the Swans B&F top 10 in the year prior to us picking him up as a DFA from memory.

One poor season doesn't define a player (unless that player is Charlie Curnow).
