Stevie J dropped on the radio over the weekend that [PLAYERCARD]Liam Ryan[/PLAYERCARD] is in talks with Hawthorn.

He and his family were also spotted at the North v Hawks game a couple of weeks back in the Hawks area.

Has had a significant layoff with injury.

What’s he going to be worth?

Depends on the extent of his injury but late 1st/early 2nd seems about right.

He’s right though. Ryan > Brockman

Ok pretend Hawks fan, on career to date sure, but we’re talking about a 20yr old that’s playing every week with 10+ years ahead of him that is “going to get a contract that Hawthorn won’t want to match” because of their potential …..but “we’ll get him for a 3rd rounder or walk him to the PSD”.

Ryan is also out for the season and is said to be out of action until January at the earliest.

Any declaration of overvaluing players needs to understand that both sides of any trade are likely doing it.

Ryan has a contract for next year and Brockman doesn’t; you conveniently failed to mention that…

Your whole post is delusional.

The big difference here is that WCE have leverage in a trade involving Ryan and Hawks don't for Brockman.

Is it fair? No.

Contract status and ladder position makes a huge difference in negotiations however.

It happened to us last year with Willie Rioli, after all.
 
The exact type WC should be quietly happy to be moving out the door IMO. Think the contract status means WC would want a slight sweetener if it was a Hawks / Brockman thing

Why do you believe this? I'm open minded either way on it.

He may very well be.

Ryan is already a class player/All Australian.

Therein lies the difference.

Fair enough.

Hawks would have to throw in a pick to make the trade more equitable.

Talented player, questionable application. But I guess the second part goes for most of the WC list.

Worth something to the right club, can play if he CBF.
 
I think Hawthorn getting Ryan would be all the more reason for Brockman to stay, unsure why everyone thinks it’s one or the other.

If it was a choice between the two I’d keep Brockman without a doubt.

Trade value wise Ryan is interesting, he’s talented but the injuries obviously bring his value down. He’s only managed 30 goals once having been around for 6 seasons.

A second probably gets it done, or maybe some sort of convoluted concoction of swaps around that.

Interesting if he’s open to any other clubs or the Sam Mitchell link is why he’s looking at a move.
 
Regarding Ryan i'm a bit concerned about his jumping and vertical after his horrid injury run.

If all checks out he would still be worth the money and a good target.
