Rumour The Trade Rumour File

[Cobbler]

Even just pick 3 for Neale I'd squirm over, but would do it.

For a 10 pick upgrade? Have you all lost your marbles??

Neale may have been pick 56 or whatever, but without looking at his draft year he is playing way above that selection. Plus he is playing now and playing well, not just getting games here and there. Allows Fyfe to push forward and gives our midfield a different look and some flexibility.

Yowsers you guys are tough.

Well now I'm getting pretty sick of this. So Jono O'Rouke has also chosen Hawks as preferred club. So a team with more depth then anyone else has in the last 2 weeks got themselves a back to back premiership, an all Australian Full back and potentially a former top 2 draft pick.

This destination club shit is going to kill us

I might be overstating it a bit, but behind Fyfe, Omeara and Wines, Neale is the next best young mid in the comp.
Don't trade guys like that for 10 pick upgrades.

I got this sorted.

Any half decent WA kid we should give a contract to stating should they come home to WA we will give them $100,000. Let them go and experience the Eastern side of Australia and after 2-3 years they can come back with $100,000 in their back pocket.

Obviously this is all done winky wink style, with secret hand shakes, but something needs to be done and seeing as I'm out of legit ways... corruption is the new purple!

Ouch. Don't watch much footy do you!

I probably missed quite a lot but I like neale.

 

[beetz]

Think of the message it sends to the rest of the playing group in particular the younger guys pushing hard for selection and endeavoring to maintain consistency.

 

[Kunna17]

Still dont think he should be traded for a 10 pick upgrade.

 

[Cobbler]

Was just reading the phantom form guide.

There is plenty around pick 12 to give us something decent to develop.

Its our second rounder and third rounder which would be nice to upgrade.

I probably missed quite a lot but I like neale.

Treloar, Tyson, McRae, Crouch, Ellis, Hill, Whitfield, Bontempelli are all up there.

 

[strobe00]

I don't understand you guys... Neale is an outstanding young mid and you want to trade him to get 10 places higher in the draft. Neale has the most potential of any of our young guys.

crozier.

 

[electricfeel]

We have gone from "trade Barlow" to "trade Neale" in the past year. Ok...

I'm curious to see what GWS ask of them now that pick 19 is their best pick.

 

[Cobbler]

Seriously how is Sydney allowed to have this academy and select players ahead of their pick?

Heeny is touted as top 3 and Sydney get him as their pick 17?

This is a joke.

if they're going to have this academy they should be forced to only pick from this pool or compensate the team that bid the highest for him.

Some of the rules in the AFL are a joke.

The team that finishes 2nd gets a number 3 player, just because.

This annoys me more then watching Harry O's speech!!!

The threats will start, if you don't give him to us for 19 then he will walk into the psd and you will get nothing. Hawthorn 101

I think they will ask for a player

 

[Cobbler]

Just reading into it more, seems we bid on Hiscox also, but Sydney nabbed him with their second rounder and they also got another player.

What a joke. Why bother having a draft if they can just pick players from their own pool.

 

[Taylor]

The threats will start, if you don't give him to us for 19 then he will walk into the psd and you will get nothing. Hawthorn 101

Fortunately there are ten teams in Melbourne and the one with pick #1 in the PSD also wanted him.

 

[apuchar]

That won't get GWS anything.

Do any of these prospects blow wind up your skirt?

 

[Cobbler]

Ok so here's the explanation.

Reasonable read after my rant.

Still sucks.

I think your point is that Hawthorn can force an undervalue trade from GWS because GWS will have to settle for it or get nothing from him as he walks to St Kilda in the PSD?

Lamb, Lever or Durdin if they are available.

Clem Smith makes the 25 but may turn people off with his work ethic, might fall to us at pick 32.

Other then that, just grab what's best and not focus on height etc.

Yep unless the kid say's I will go to St Kilda if you can't get a fair trade done with the Hawks. i hope he shows a little bit of integrity. GWS haven't done anything wrong in this scenario (that I know of). And the Hawks have a habit of getting a lot for nothing, at other peoples expense.

A seasoned premiership player will do them lots of good actually. Exactly what they needed.

That being said, they'll ask for something unrealistic and stupid, like Hill + pick 19. Nevermind they have lots of young talents and seriously lacking onfield leadership.
