There's no way we're giving up Nothing. Besides he still has 2 years to go on his contract and screams future leader.

Nah, we're trading Carlton supporters who masquerade as Hawks fans though.

No, but we can trade SarahSmiles for Snake_Baker.

Can I bring in MEB_ for Abasi?

Will require a swap of picks IMO ....Abasi's value has dropped over the yr due to some poor performances ....

Getting in early ... Whitey and JOR to .... remain at BHH as depth.

Clarko should be steering Whitey into coaching courses, and we retain him as a virtual player coach on a decent professional footballers wages.

JOR, stays as depth at BHH. No trade value, yet he's decent enough enough to run round supporting the kids. Who knows, he may finish serving whatever penance Clarko has him working on, and he may re emerge as a player yet. IF, he can remain injury free.

"Entertainment" isn't meant to make me throw up in my mouth a little bit!

Nah, we're trading Carlton supporters who masquerade as Hawks fans though.

Especially if they flip flop between Carlton and Port!

A bit of talk on our Big Fish thread about Adelaide wanting our 2018 first rounder as part of any MMcGov deal.
Naturally I think we are all against that idea.
But if it came down to it and Adelaide insisted on our 2018 first rounder, perhaps we could try to lure Jordan Gallucci back home as part of the same deal.

Our 2018 first rounder and 2019 2nd (or 3rd) round pick for M McGovern and Jordan Gallucci.
Gives us another decent young mid who can play forward and back
Kicks both feet and got some decent leg speed.

.................. he may finish serving whatever penance Clarko has him working on, and he may re emerge as a player yet. IF, he can remain injury free.

Ahh yes, the great Clarko penance of 16'17'18'!
Just gets finer with age like a superb wine.

Snap.

Did anyone hear anything there?

Crap!!! Man down man down man down.
JOR falls like a gazelle shot with an Anschutz 64 with match barrel and Leupold scope at 350 meters crossing the car park at Waverly.....dropped the lattes too so Duryea will NOT be pleased.

So.... salary guess


Wiki..
“The AFL Players Association negotiates for players with the AFL on the topic of average salary. In June 2017, the AFL and AFL Players Association agreed to a new CBA deal which resulted in a 20% increase in players salary. The six-year deal, which begins in 2017 and ends in 2022 means that the average player wage rises from $309,000 to $371,000 and the player salary cap from $10.37m to $12.45m. In 2022, the final year of the agreement, the average player wage will be $389,000 with a salary cap of $13.54m.”

AFL...
“Under the CBA introduced last year, the salary cap rose by 20 per cent, but total player payments increased by 13.24 per cent to $231.4 million and the average player salary rose by 14 per cent to $352,470.

Much of that increase was absorbed by the competition's elite. The number of players earning over $800,000 more than doubled, rising from 14 in 2016 to 29, while 139 of the competition's 707 senior-listed players earned more than $500,000, up 46.3 per cent on 2016's figure (95).

It was not until 2000 that a player's salary first topped $500,000.

The number of lower salary earners also shrank markedly. Players earning $100,000 or less fell by 54 per cent (38, down from 70 in 2016) and those earning $200,000 or less fell by 25 per cent (191, down from 255).

There was little movement, however, among the competition's middle class.

Despite the increased salary cap, more than half of the AFL's players continued to earn between $200,000 and $500,000 – 377 players fell within this bracket in 2017, marginally up from 368 in 2016.

Remarkably, the number of players earning between $300,000 and $500,000 remained exactly the same – 237.”

Triple M last year...

"Very interesting scenario happening at Hawthorn at the moment," he said.

"Both (Hodge and Gibson) retire, there's a million dollars right there."

He tossed another player in the mix.

"Paul Puopolo's name - he is contracted until the end of the year but he is one who also might get some traction come trade time at the end of the year," he said.

"He was linked to a deal at Gold Coast at the end of last year and didn't want to go. So he's on $350,000."

Clarky said, with Hawthorn lacking decent picks in this year's draft, it gives them plenty of space to attack free agency instead.

"So there's $1.3 million to $1.4 million from Hawthorn at the end of the year to attack this free agency market," he said.

"You can hear it from me, fellas, that they will be active in this space once again."

Does this suggest we are at capacity with the extra cap space?
I would think so....

Alister Clarkson - The age
"Yeah, we would have been pretty tight, but we would have been able to," Clarkson told SEN.

"There's no point trying to trick anyone that our salary cap would have been really tight had we tried to squeeze them all in but we would have got there.

Clarkson looks on during the pre-season game against Port Adelaide.

"We had already gone to several of our players. We would have had to done some manipulating of contracts, but not in an illegal way, to go to some of our other players and say 'listen, can you not take so much this year and take it later on'. That process had already begun whether Sam and Jordan were at the club or not.

"The actual recruiting of both Tom and Jaeger was along the lines of learning from [Luke] Hodge, Mitchell and Lewis for 12 months to two years so they were all independent of one another albeit."

There is a lot more out there to speculate on but I would suggest that we have a bucket load of cash to spend & could easily afford $$$ wise J. Gov, Sloane, M.Gov & possibly someone else.

Thanks for the hypo thread

You do know if Breust was a draft pick we would trade him.

 

[WWSD]

It will be interesting to see if Pittonet requests a trade at the end of the year for more opportunities or whether he signs a new deal. He isn’t going to be playing much footy over the next two years or so whilst McEvoy and Ceglar are in their prime. Even when Ceglar was out injured Pittonet still couldn’t get a game despite his solid VFL form.
