Yes, but can you on trade players that you just resigned?

I mean, by that theory, couldn't we trade Lynch?

As a free agent, this is the appeal of being unrestricted, having the ability to sign with any team.

Surely they cannot be on traded on the same day to another club, unless they were restricted, which Young is not?

I'm not seeing the advantage for us in giving up a pick for Young. How would Hawks do us a favour for doing this for them? We haven't lost anyone to FA so wont lose compo by taking Young as FA. Don't know what else we wouldneed from Hawthorn this trade period.
 
Is it possible for the Hawks to pay some of his salary to give us some cap relief and in exchange we give up a draft pick. This is the only reason I can imagine that a trade would be bothered with. I am not sure it can even be done.

Neither here nor there for a player like Young. If it was a Selwood, Murphy, Pavlich, Kennedy type player then yeah, move heaven on earth but for Clinton Young, pfft!

Either he comes for nothing or he stays a hawk IMO.

My guess is that we won't get him the longer this pans out....doesnt seem to be jumping out of his skin to join us so not fazed.

No doubt there is more to it then meets the eye and let's hope so as this amount of ****ing around is not justified given it's Young.

It could be as simple as getting Hawthorn to back off from trying to resign him because they figure they'll lose in any compensation deal from the AFL and our 2nd rounder is more appealing than what they'll get

Well that is True we could offer Hawks a offer a Pick to Get the Hawks to let him go
 
If he's an UFA as people have suggested, he can just leave. He may be trying to use us to push his price up, that's quite possible. Don't know that Hawks have heaps of cash sploshing around after acquiring Lake and being set to sign-up their own Cloke this year as Franklin comes out of contract.

Meh, worst case scenario Hawks pay more and retain him. Not an absolute requirement for the Pies.

Well You would think if we did not get young we would then go after Roberton
 
Like others, I am against giving up any picks given his free agency status. We either get him for nothing or give up. He does not possess the silky foot skills that we are really after so can see no point in paying in the form of a draft pick.
 
Why would Warnock be touring Westpac centre? Wood for Warnock, Dawes for Warnock? You've got to love the rumours flying around the media.
 
Fair chance the whole Pies trading for Clinton Young is complete bullshit. So many stories are flying around, they get quoted, and before you know it, they are taken as gospel.
I would be very, very surprised If we traded for Young. Unrestricted free agency means he is free to walk, if he wants to. Hawthorn aren't obliged to mach any offers at all.
I'm guessing he has decisions to make - just like Dawes. But it's not as news worthy as Dawes though, so we are getting hourly updates.

We are giving up nothing by giving them a 2nd rounder to stop them trying to resign him if that's the strategy

Hine has made it clear there is nothing after picks 25/30 so he wont use a 2nd rounder 39 if we have 17,18 and 20/21.. Any 2nd or 3rd round picks we have we'll try and trade for a player like a Robertson or a Pederson

That way we gain a player for what Hine deems a worthless pick, in his eyes we can't lose, Young is just a part of that strategy albeit we probably would have preferred not to except Hawthorn upped their contract offer to him

A back up ruck would be handy, if Jolly goes down with a long termer we're pretty much screwed, Wood is ok to fill in when Jolly needs a rest but he cant be relied upon as a permanent ruck at this stage.

Where did Hine say this? I only recall him saying along the lines of "we rated Stewart in the 50's and we thought we'd be out of the draft by then". I haven't seen any indication we're prepared to throw away pick #39-odd for nothing, and to one of our main competitors no less.

He cannot be relied upon at ANY stage. The guy needs to be shown the door.
 
Barrett reckons that Dawes wants to go to a finals contending team.

Jesus, bit picky all of a sudden for a guy only being chased by teams outside of the eight.

Too bad there aren't any that are interested in him.
