Like with Wingard, the Giants would’ve been willing to send out their pick 13 for Breust; and like with Wingard, the forward hasn’t shown any interest in switching clubs-Fox Sports

Pick 13 seems like a pretty nutty offer. Would have been great for the Hawks.

 

[Chief Hopper]

Pick 13 for a 30yr old Breust would be a steal for the Hawks.

 

[halfback dasher]

Yet if we listen to so many here ...
1. No one wants Hawks vets
and
2. Absolutely NO ONE will offer a first rdr for one

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Pick 13 for Breust and 24 is the offer apparantly, which on draft points is equivalent to pick 41 for Breust.

[Strapping Young Lad]

Giants are still chasing him.

 

[Bald]

Oof, wouldn't mind him at the Dogs.

 

[Northernsoul74]

Giants are still chasing him.

Why if he doesn’t want to go? Hawthorn would have to seriously push him.

 

[HairyO]

Why if he doesn’t want to go? Hawthorn would have to seriously push him.

We have now entered the 6th year of Luke Breust being linked with GWS. I wonder if this is a record?

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Bruest has refused to be traded.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Why if he doesn’t want to go? Hawthorn would have to seriously push him.

Because they want him badly.

It's not on Hawthorn to push him, it's on Giants to convince him.

 

[Northernsoul74]

Bruest has refused to be traded.

The question is how hard have Hawthorn been pushing a club champion to agree.

 

[Northernsoul74]

Because they want him badly.

It's not on Hawthorn to push him, it's on Giants to convince him.

Hawks will want this to happen as much as Breust.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Hawks will want this to happen as much as Breust.

Clearly Bruest doesn't want this to happen.

 

[Prochard123]

Pick 13 for Breust and 24 is the offer apparantly, which on draft points is equivalent to pick 41 for Breust.

AFL Trade Radio (@traderadio) on Twitter

Realistically you would probably need pick 20 to pair with pick 24 to trade for pick 13.

And pick 20 is about right for Breust.

This draft is seen as being quite even between 5 - 20, which makes 13 close to the sweet spot where you are getting a top talent in a position you are actively trying to address, instead of simply taking what's left over from that top group.

Not one club would accept a trade of 13 for 24 and 41

 

[Libbaaaa]

Still ridiculous that in 2021 a player can stop a trade agreed between two teams. If Hawthorn wanted to do the dirty on Breust so be it.

Yes pick 13 sounds better but you get two players with 24 & 41.

 

[hawkman]

Two players who are likely to be inferior. My issue is rating what a trade is worth by draft points.

As mentioned earlier by Prochard123 to trade 13 you would probably need to get 20 and 24 which is a more realistic version of what the trade is worth.

It also depends on what talent is available at what pick.
There may be a year when there is not a great difference between 13 and 20, but there is this year.
This years number one pick is worth more than other years as well.

I know players break contracts all the time, but it's much harder to force a player to break contract and be traded if they have no desire to leave. It's like any other employment contract, easy for an employee to break, hard for an employer to break (without cause).

Glad he's holding firm, absolutely love the guy.
