No Oppo Supporters Hawthorn’s 2019 Trade/FA - Targets/Incoming players discussion only - Next Part

[Hawkie_McHawkHawk]

With Roughy’s retirement I’m sure salary cap wise we have somewhat of a warchest

However I am wondering if I am alone in this view but I kind of hope we don’t land a big fish.

Reason being we have a lot of solid pieces already, we need another 6 or so role players rather than icing on the cake.

I think Essendon is the perfect example of having 8 or so really top tier footballers and then a pretty big gap after that. Things always look pretty on paper but never works out.

I don’t think essendons top 8 are anything special, and there lies the problem. Without doubt you need the creme to win flags, or guys that are capable of playing it. We simply need someone of Coniglios ilk in the middle and another one or two KPP and develop the role players around them.

Get GWS to throw in Toby with Patton and Cogs and we'll slip them a few extra shekels and train up a coach for them. I mean that knows what he's doing

 

[Sirlemsip]

I know we've looked into Frost strongly before. Could be him again.

Was my thought as well. I'd still prefer Pretracca of any Demon, but Frost fills a need.

 

[perrdan09]

yep and it surely restructured the deal to open up some money too

as maybe the Tom Mitchell one was aswell?..

 

[butlers hawks]

as maybe the Tom Mitchell one was aswell?..

would think so

 

[Dewnior]

And keep in mind a key player in Impey (24) will be sidelined for a while. IMO he will be the Burgoyne utility replacement in the long run.

Nup, Cogs will be the Silk replacement.

A few years ago I had a chat with one of the top guys at champion data and he told me that they keep extensive records on junior footballers which they track through a players career. He said it's as you'd expect with a lot of the top juniors going on to be brilliant AFL footballers. So I asked him the obvious question - who was the best junior footballer they'd monitored statically. And he said in just about every department is was Jack Martin.

From memory, Tambling was also great statistically.

Excellence in junior footy doesn't always translate to senior footy for a whole host of reasons (eg a club's development programme).

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Nup, Cogs will be the Silk replacement.

They're not similar players. Unless you mean he's going to get #9.

 

[Carl Spackler]

They're not similar players. Unless you mean he's going to get #9.

Hmm... I was thinking that Cogs would get #2, but maybe he gets the midfielder's #9 and Patton takes #2.

I watched Tambling play for an indigenous side against the bulldogs in an exhibition game. Tambling was only 16 but really stood out in the match. I don’t think it was talent that led him to fall short. Some people just don’t excel in professional sports environments for a variety of reasons. I suspect he was richmonded

 

[Billyc]

Not sure why this early draft pick talk (Anderson etc) is in here. We don't have a top 3 pick and won't have one.

 

[SuperSic]

We are keen on a Demon.

Very intriguing because Petracca’s name has just randomly started to pop up in the media.

 

[Hodginator]

I assume this tweet is more regarding Ross Lyon, but I feel the contents of it still applies to this thread and Coniglio coming to Hawthorn

 

[Badesumofu]

95% is reasonable doubt. It's enough to get you convicted of murder. It's more than enough to jump on the Cog's bandwagon.

That’s a terrible definition of reasonable doubt in the legal context but reasonable in the Cogs is coming to Hawthorn context.

 

[Carl Spackler]

Moved to the dreaming thread. This thread is for actual rumours and tips.

In an alternate universe Tambling is a multiple x premiership player for Hawthorn

 

[VandoHawk]

Still could be dealing with Melbourne here.

This only works if GC don't receive a priority pick. If they do then Melb get pick 3 which means both Rowell/Anderson will be gone.

 

[Gralin]

Getting way off topic in here again people.

Who is coming in, not who is going out or possible trades or hypotheticals

 

[Bremner20]

I’m not really fussed if Coniglio doesn’t come TBH I’ll back our football and recruiting departments to have an impressive back up plan . Another A grade mid is obviously the intention whether or not that’s SC or another name or a highly rated ready to go youngster from the draft it’s going to make our list a lot better and that’s the main thing .

 

[TylerDurden]

 

[VandoHawk]

Is this our work TD? Or has another club jumped in. Would love him at the Hawks but I know St.Kilda was interested last year.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Yes please to Amon. 4th rounder

 

[Tassie Cryptik]

Haven't we gone cold on Frost?
Only good for kicking the dew off the ground in the seconds

 

[Dystopia]

Sen just reported Karl Amon has requested a trade back to Victoria again. With our interest last year, good chance he is coming our way.

 

[SuperSic]

F**k yes! They said he was going to re-sign only weeks ago. Super stoked about this, get him in GW. I think this guy would be my number 2 target this trade period after Cogs, especially with Impey going down. Our strike-rate with port players is insane.
