Prediction Draft rumours

Since St Kilda tried to initiate a pick swap with Gold Coast that the Suns rejected which was to see GC get 4 and St Kilda get 6, I reckon the Saints are going to take somebody they felt they could have gotten later and for me, that is Bailey Smith. I haven’t seen a single phantom draft with them taking Smith but I reckon that’s what they’ll do.

Maybe even Caldwell could be their guy, but I doubt it though

They effectively wanted their cake and to eat it too.
 
The Suns have plenty of talent, saying otherwise is silly. They will turn it around, at least they have a good coach.

Dew is unproven at the level, although I agree that he will most likely be a good coach.

Where is their talent though? Theyve had 2 or 3 really down years with guys having opportunities to show they're future stars.

The only ones that did are now gone.
 
What are Hawks' fans best guess of a potential trade?

He is tipped to go around 15-20?

I'd trade our pick 20 for your future first, which will end up as around pick 25, but I doubt Stocker will still be there for the start of day 2.

Hard to see Stocker lasting long enough for a club to want to trade their pick for the Hawks future first.

Maybe the Hawks just laying some groundwork in case he goes interstate.

Thats my point. i think theyd have to package say future 1st + 3rd to get to say late first round

Miller, Ainsworth, Brodie, Bowes, Ah Chee, Wright, Ballard, Powell and Weller are all good young players.

It's the senior players they lack though.

But you could name that many young talented players for any team...
They have a squad of 40 youngsters, mostly top picks. There is a problem in development.
 
Well its not the same, trades with players take into account a shitload more factors.
Like injury, salary, salary caps etc.
Does it really matter , not us trying to negotiate a deal . If Hawthorn want a player in this year draft ,is their problem to solve .
 
Not us doing the drafting either yet here we are discussing it.
We are discussing it , but you are trying to take control in every discussion . Basically in you mind you already knew hawthorn have pick 53 and next year pick to make it happen , you want validation or somebody to agree with you that it will cost Hawthorn multiple pick to get it done . My Answer: I don't know ,they are the recruiters not me .
Neither I agree nor disagree with you because I really don't know .

I'm not sure why you're taking me to task over it?
I'm just wondering what would likely get it done. Discussing the factors involved with other people is a good way to get a better view of the big picture.

For example someone might have information about Hawthorn having an academy or father-son for next year where they need to hoard picks.

Edit: like how I forgot that HFC cant trade any other picks for 2019 if they trade their 1st rd and Suma pointed it out.
 
If you trade a future first you have to keep a pick in each other round. So Hawks can't trade more than their future first really.

So First + 53 is really all they can offer full stop?
Presuming Hawks are 4th-9th that becomes 10-15 before any compo picks.

Would be a bit of a risk for any club to give up a pick in the late teens/early 20s, with the possibility the hawks have another good year.

Hawthorn eyeing off Crows pick 21 for Stocker.

As discussed previously that would involve their first + 56.
Would we even be interested?

I mean likely the good SA kids are gone by then, and I would like to roll with hopefully the misfortunes of Hawthorn next season...

Hopefully we can nab him with pick 20. Seems unlikely to slide that far though doesn’t he? I guess we will find out tomorrow night...
I think GWS pick 19 going to be crucial . A bid for Brigg earlier than 19 give hawthorn a chance to trade their future first . ( Stocker , hill , Stuart ) could be available.
