Analysis GWS - The Bigger Deal

[Antares]

Hawthorn List Manager, Graham Wright: "Certainly I think the Scully deal was around the injury that he had. But I think it's tied up in a bigger deal for GWS. And that will come to fruition tomorrow"

What could this mean?

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Something to do with Lobb, Shiel and maybe even Patton?

Why would Patton be leaving?

It clearly involves pick swaps and Shiel to Essendon and Lobb to Freo.

Further salary dump, and given he's had 3 knee reco's there could be some question marks? His name has been floating around recently.

 

[MisterMarcus]

So the idea is Hawthorn pay "overs" to another club, which will then be on-traded for Shiel/Lobb?

 

[Hamingja]

Tim Kelly to GWS. You heard it here first.

 

[Giant Pete]

Perhaps he’s just referring to the fact that the Giants now have real bargaining power in the Shiel and Lobb deals. Dodoro doesn’t have a leg to stand on.

I would laugh if the Scully deal meant they had the room to keep Shiel, especially if Lobb goes. That’s probably 800-900k saved through those two.

i would have thought even more Lobb was reportedly on 700k. If thats the case no wonder they ran into cap issues

 

[rainwizard39]

They're getting Nat Fyfe.

They're getting Nat Fyfe.

That’d be nice.

 

[PoopingHindi]

Shiel to GWS?

Explain?

How, Why?

 

[Mitchell54]

I wouldn’t read much into. Replace the word ‘deal’ with ‘picture’ and I think that’s what Wright was trying to say.

On the other hand I have heard rumours around Patton and Hawks could do with a younger key forward and may be willing to take another salary dump player with injuriesfrom GWS

That would be about a quarter of our salary cap

 

[Franko Armani]

Doesn’t that mean Hawks have to give up something reasonable elsewhere? How does that tie in with GWS? We are dealing with Port unless Burton is going somewhere other than Port for a high pick first ?

That is my take. GWS now under the magic number for 2018 so can extract full value for Shiel. And Dodoro doesnt like paying full value.

 

[citizen-erased]

Patton & Scully for 53 and Ceglar?

 

[Franko Armani]

Burton and Patton to GC. Pick 3 to Hawks and pick 29 to GWS. Hawks pick 3 to Port for Wingard.

Yes think this is it actually

 

[Mitchell54]

Burton and Patton to GC. Pick 3 to Hawks and pick 29 to GWS. Hawks pick 3 to Port for Wingard.

I wish.

Neither of those players would want to go to GC.
Pick 3 for Burton is a bit steep but GC probably would pay it because GC are desperate for players to go and Burton could be anything.

Guessing it's related to the eight team deal reported in The Age?

[MasterSamurai]

I think people are reading too much into it.

I think people are reading too much into it.

Or not enough.

 

[Orange Agent]

Patton isn't going, it's made up.
