Traded Tom Scully [traded to Hawthorn for a future fourth round pick]

[Scotland]

It was a win-win trade.

It is only salty Melbourne fans and obsessed Essendon fans making complaints.

GWS wanted his salary gone and did not think he would get up.

Hawthorn backed themselves in and his salary won't hurt them in the long run.

If he does not play Hawthorn have lost nothing. If he comes good, even if it takes till 2020 then Hawthorn gain something huge.

Definite win win. Not without risk but both clubs know what they stand to gain/lose.

Haven't seen a single Melbourne fan actually be mad about this trade.

Not mad about the trade itself but plenty still salty over Scully leaving the Dees

Have a couple of mates that are serious Dees fans .... it’s funny how they seem to dislike Scully a lot when ever his name pops up

Not adding up this trade....

Now expected back earlier.

Smelling a rat big time.

Maybe the Hawks rehab and fitness staff have gone to another level since the recent restructure that took place!

LOL... Scully is a gun. How he’s worth a future fourth round pick is beyond me. If he plays this year - it should be investigated.

Maybe wait to see if his ankle doesn't swell up once he pushes it to the max, before prematurely melting all over the shop.

Scully was cap-relief, once the final dregs of Cola & the GWS newbie concessions, finally washed away for good.

True true!

Why?

GWS were unsure he would ever make it back and needed the cap room.

Hawthorn had the cap room and were willing to take the risk on him playing again.

If they get him back on the field earlier than expected then good on them and good on Scully for being a top notch pro in his rehab.

Lets see him get back to senior level before we get too excited, their fitness staff haven't managed to get Birchall back on the park since 2017

If he can return to his peak level performance of 2017 then the Hawks have got themselves a bargain, if not they'll have a $500,000 per season millstone around their neck.

Either way got to hand it to the Hawks for pulling this trade off, high risk, high reward

 

[TheFourPillars]

He is going to play soon

 

[Holy Rioli]

He is going to play soon

How soon 4P?

 

[TheFourPillars]

2 to 3 weeks looks good mate

 

[Procrastinator35]

He is going to play soon

At this rate, he'll be on the park & playing before The Chad.

 

[Holy Rioli]

2 to 3 weeks looks good mate

I assume you mean 2-3 weeks before he suits up for Box Hill?

 

[eldorado]

Great get for Hawthorn. I think the condition of his ankle is being overplayed.

I don’t understand the outrage. If GWS and Hawthorn are happy with the trade, then so be it.

I suspect so. Salary cap relief first and foremost.

Named for Saturday

Thanks gws

Cool your jets. Extended bench.
Not as if we haven't played shenanigans in the past.

If he plays this year - it should be investigated.
