List Mgmt. Trade & F/A - 2018/2019 - Part 3

[Thatsmyname]

Made it sound like we were baiting the SA clubs for a godfather deal

 

[Sea fog]

Am amazed that Hawks never seem to have cap worries. They are getting Patten, JOM, Wingard, the list goes on, yet even when we try just to retain our players the media thinks we will be pushing the limits.

 

[Thatsmyname]

If they think Grundy is gone, O'Brien and pick 3 would be ideal, turn Sier and pick 3 into Ben King and you might even be ahead in the near future

 

[Matt_352]

Any interest on our end?

Any interest on our end?

In the magoos they reckon he likes to take the best forward and shut him down, their blurb says he's an excellent intercept mark too, comes cheap and at 201cm he can take the gorillas, I'd swoop

Wouldn't Grundy be a RFA?

Not that I think he is going anywhere

Grundy has a year to run on his contract.

i don't think he's going anywhere either but Pick 3, Pick ?? and O'Brien would be a decent starting point.

 

[barrackers]

That's a relief, the only bloke really pedalling the story now says there's nothing in it.

Oh, ok, so some people are talking about him being traded this year? I missed that I thought the discussion was about end of next year

Yep...won't happen

 

[Scritchyscroony]

He's a delisted FA so comes at no cost in terms of trade value. If you can overcome his injury issues then he's certainly got the talent to impact at senior level and his recent injury history means he's not going to demand a big salary. I'd be disappointed if we weren't at least asking the questions and doing the testing.

I'd be very disappointed if we were. Knowingly adding a player with constant injury issues and offield behaviour issues to our list. That sounds like a good idea to you? Can't get enough of em?
It's been a long time since he played his best footy and made his name... There's not even a high reward to the high risk.

If he decides to leave next season i will be ******* pissed.

I'm not too concerned though, he loves the club.

Watch the Tigers take a punt on him and he turns his life around and calf troubles around.

EFA.

Grundy doesn’t want out plus ROB and King for Grundy and Sier is a hard loss. We’re win now after going 31-16 since the start of 2018.

If by some bizarre quirk of reality we lose our best player it needs to be for established players not guys with a combined 20 matches to their name. No matter how good one of them could be!

Mitch Cleary broke it, not Mark Stevens.

 

[Apex36]

Madgen would be first picked.

Fairly sure Wilson has him covered

 

[Saintly Viewed]

The media “creates” scenarios for stories.

Hawthorn is boring.

Collingwood sells.

Truth is just just that, an old newspaper no longer existing.

 

[Leviathan Pie]

Oh god don’t start him on DE% and how Langdon is supposedly a better disposer of the ball than Hill...

 

[TKiL]

I don’t want Armitage but it was only 12months ago when Roughy wasn’t good enough for the bulldogs

Friend of mine supports Dogs - told me at trade time that Roughy was "cooked"
Hello mate are you still there?

 

[TKiL]

At least Wells was still playing quality football when we got him...

Quality footballer whose soft tissue injuries were well known throughout AFL land

 

[Apex36]

Quality footballer whose soft tissue injuries were well known throughout AFL land

As opposed to Armitage who can’t get a game in one of the worst midfields in the league...

 

[neilk]

Fairly sure Wilson has him covered

You are absolutely correct and I totally forgot about this mythical being.

I know it’s gonna be a very unpopular opinion and most of you will think less of me for saying this but I actually wouldn’t mind Brandon Ellis

For Cheap I would not mind him

Unless we’re offloading both Mayne and Phillips he doesn’t improve us so it’d just be a big waste of resources. There’ll 100% be a club for him it’s just not Collingwood.
