Ooooookay?

 

[MaxHunt]

Yeah, or they hold 9 and trade only if Dean looks like getting a bid before then.

It will be pretty close. But there's a good chance he gets through too.

 

[Deplorable trumpster]

I really want Essendon to stand their ground but at some point they probably need to swallow their pride and do what’s best for the club’s future - picks 10,22 and a F1 (which will be a late F1 admittedly) is a pretty good return for a 30 year old

Squeeze Hawthorn for more but that’s getting pretty close to a decent return

I think if a player is determined to go, if a club can get 80 - 90% of what they would want for him in an ideal world they will probably take it as opposed to hanging on a disgruntled and possibly depreciating asset. More so if that club is not in a flag window. And more so if there is actual genuine ill will between the club/playing group and the player. But who knows, maybe somebody high up the food chain at Essendon will just over rule and say No when the final moment for a decision comes.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Ooooookay?

Yes, this is definitely a person who I have heard of before now.

 

[darksquare]

Ooooookay?

Norf doing their level best to assemble a squad of 44 midfielders. Maley is simply too tall.

 

[Elite Pete]

Ooooookay?

Moose

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Ooooookay?

They’re just making up players for content, like they did with “Wade Derksen”

 

[Mop]

I don’t profess to having the most interesting government name going, but that brother could well have the most off brand non licensed sporting player name of all time.

The PES to fifa type gig.

This whole thing feels super contrived. "Better save the big names to deadline day, gets more clicks and more eyeballs".

Oliver, Petracca, Merrett, Ah Chee...all these deals are likely already done.

I'm not saying they are done, but when Merret's manager went into the Essendon room there was lots of handshaking and smiles. No angry faces anywhere.

Hoping for one of these:

Hawks fan saying merrett deal is done in principle. Are we involved?????

Depends how you connect the dots.

Might've just shouted them some Uber Eats.

If we are we should be making out like bandits in order to help get it done, otherwise we just stay out of it.

Quiches?

 

[Sammy J]

I'll eat my hat if Merrett isn't a Hawk tonight. It was always going to happen.

 

[Barrybran]

Hawthorn have picked up pick 22. I'm not sure how that moves the needle for us.

 

[Lyyynnnchy]

lol. Your username is really quite apt

 

[sey666]

Does he have the receipts?

 

[Avalor]

Yes, this is definitely a person who I have heard of before now.

Yep, never heard of him! This will really shake up trade day!

 

[twce13]

Believe it’s almost a certainty now that should we want him, we can get Patterson with one of our two picks.

 

[kranky al]

They are using ai to make peoples names up based on Canadian ice hockey players names

 

[ThePuma #9]

I would be over the moon with Duursma and Patterson.

As much as i'd love Sharp that's pretty damn hard to walk away from.

Holy ****ing overpay Batman.
