What does Hawthorn do with its $2 million cheque? The St Kilda conundrum, the Blues’ salary cap sacrifice, why Collingwood is the most aggressive club and the Bolton boost. Plenty to consider in the salary cap space
But wouldn’t Brisbane have to trade for him given the mcstay compo?

Fine, I’ll accept clugga but they will owe usThey wouldn’t give us a top 30 pick when they need points for two f/s bids.
watching the ball constantly waltz out of our forward line is incredibly frustrating - we really need someone who can apply some forward pressure
You CANT force a contracted player to be traded. We had no tricks to be playedWhy? Chad’s the 1st one I would move. Has done bugger all since we recruited him - shown flashes but been injured most of the time. He’s not the kind of player you need in a rebuild- more the cherry on top for a contending side…
I actually think we missed a trick not moving him last year when GWS were showing interest…
No

Not a good look for attracting future free agents.You can and the club has done it before - was a major factor in our last 4 premierships

Exactly but not just free agents but also keeping the current players on the list.Not a good look for attracting future free agents.
You can sack someone and pay out their contract but you can't force a player to go to a specific club in exchange for a specific deal. You can make life unpleasant for them if they don't agree (as Collingwood did with Treloar) but you can't force them. Wingard made it clear he wasn't going to agree to go to GWS, so that was that.You can and the club has done it before - was a major factor in our last 4 premierships
And to emphasize your point, doing that to them, in front of their mates & with a whole league (& Continent) watching, is pretty bad drills.You can sack someone and pay out their contract but you can't force a player to go to a specific club in exchange for a specific deal.

Nup - just tell him we want to trade him would’ve done just fineWhat were we meant to do? Kidnap and fold him up into a post pack?

It was confirmed that Port initially asked the question about Burton, and when it was brought up to him he cracked the sads.Ryan Burton says hello
No, he says “mummy can you tuck me in, please”.Ryan Burton says hello
Ok, so here we are..Round 23.
My initial end of season list management..
Trades - T.Mitchell, Brockman*
Delistings - Hartigan, Howe, Shiels, Downie
Retirements - Big Boy
We had 11 changes at the end of 2021.
Do we keep the core and continue developing them at Box Hill?

Yep. I keep seeing ‘get 2 mids and we’ll be right’. Take Gunston and Breust out of our forward line (and chad as well) - which is a reality in next 2-3 years (or less) - and it looks pretty grim. It’s not just the goals kicked and score involvements it’s also the level of opposition attention they get. We need to fix the midfield but forward line also needs serious work.
I think Phillips is on shaky ground aswell and the question is whether Wingard could be trade able.
Hopefully there is no truth in Brisbane’s interest in Gunners.
His and Bruesty’s football smarts are invaluable to our younger group going forward!
