Recommitted Josh Weddle [OOC 2026] - name was floated for a move in 2025, stayed

He's not worth pick 2.

Not by itself! Wouldn't even get a conversation started with the Hawks!

 

[GinniAndTonic]

He's not worth pick 2.

You’re kidding yourself if you think he’s not. He’s every bit of an A grader already at 20.

 

[dmark]

There’s no way Hawks fans unironically think Weddle could net them a pick 2

Yes your right, it would be pick 2 plus future 1st rounder

 

[Blackhawk42]

There's no speculation. Just John Ralph being silly.

Weddle, Watson, Dear, Day and Newcombe are our untouchables.

I think the OP knew that.
Trolls will troll lol.

He's not worth pick 2.

He's not getting traded bud so who gives a fk

Hawks fans apparently sensitive enough to suggest he's worth pick 2.

There's maybe 30 players worth a top 3 pick in the league. Weddle isn't in that group.

If I was given a choice between Weddle or Pick 2, I’d take Weddle. Proven talent is better than draft picks, which are often overrated.

Probably, doesn't mean he's actually worth that in a trade.

We don't want pick 2, we want Weddle, would you be enthusiastic about trading Curtin for pick 2?

It doesn't matter that his value could be less than pick 2 because he isn't getting traded and this whole discussion is immature.

 

[HairyO]

There’s no way Hawks fans unironically think Weddle could net them a pick 2

There's no way WCE could unironically be offering $25m x 10 year contracts to people.

But if they were, Weddle would be a far better choice for such a contract than Reid.

You're wrong. Let me guess you think Curtin is worth a top 3 pick? Weddle is an absolute jet, I as most Hawthorn supports agree wouldn't trade him for pick 1.

 

[Ka Norkers]

well, the report is partially correct.
Weddle will be heading to Perth next year, that is a certainty.
Most likely in a team that beats the Eagles by 120 points, or less likely in a team that beats the Dockers by 45 points.
Wild speculation, personally I favour the former, given its our turn to (yet again) thrash the Eagles over there.

 

[Ka Norkers]

Weddle was, is, and will be a better player than Reid.
I do admire Reid's manager, what an absolute storm in a tea-cup he has created, and what ridiculous numbers are being bandied around. You'd think he's another Chris Judd (which he certainly isn't)
If I was an AFL footballer, I'd be changing to that management in an instant.

Weddle is worth pick 1 and 15+ future first rounders.

He's on track to be the next Voss/Akermanis/Crawford/Hodge all in one player. Not even current GOAT Dusty and Nick Daicos could reach those lofty heights.

Weddle is not for sale!

You choked against Freo only a few weeks ago.

So no-one from Adelaide then

 

[Ka Norkers]

correct. Hawks will be a 10 goal better side next year, especially with our two best players, Day and Weddle, playing.

 

[Milanista28]

Add another to the Josh over pick 2 club. Gun!

 

[Danger in Texas]

Lmao what

 

[RoughysMullet]

Sorry Weagles Weddle ain’t happening-

 

[txbyhull]

Sorry Weagles Weddle ain’t happening- no one wants to be at your club- Harley will come over to the hawks- if you’re lucky we’ll give you Carlton’s picks back

Not that he’s in any way a bad player, but no eagles fan wants or thinks we’ll get Weddle? It’s because Jon Ralph said spouted some nonsense in an article. Only reason this discussion is even happening is because of the divide on whether or not Weddle is worth pick 2, which BOTH CAN BE TRUE bc we’re 2 different clubs in different stages. Some people man…

 

[SSSSSS]

Curious where the Hawks fans that laugh reacted would rate him in the league?

I say this as he is spoken of as a top 75 player in the comp by some commentators.

Funnily enough he's rated #75 according to CD Player Ratings if you take out players with less than 8 games.
