Swans giving him.away at that price.
Smart to take pick-14 before it goes to the Suns for O'Meara - 14 is the highest pick Hawthorn are going to have available. Mitchell may be worth more in an open market, but it's not an open market when a club is nominated. Pragmatic of the Swans to jump in quick and get the deal done. They don't want players... They don't have cap space.

Expect the O'Meara trade to drag on, and the Suns to accept what is generally considered as unders...
 
Seems clubs are making contract offers that very much anticipate the cap going up quite a bit in the next CBA.

They probably need to update the criteria for compensation.
In theory it'll increase with the contract rates but the year prior to a CBA jump is going to be out of whack.

Definitely ensures that a fairly handy player will need to be involved in the O'Meara trade.
 
At an introductory chat? I have doubts. By way of comparison, would you think Schache's manager was there when Fagan met the family?
Yeah,sounds like Rocky was slightly terrified of what might transpire and asked for back up.
 
If they wanted to keep Rocky it would have been very easy to give a quote after the meeting to any of the journalists hunting around. He's gone.

(Yes Cotter, I know you think he's staying).
It really depends if anyone in the market wants him and whether they are willing to compensate us. I don't see him gone if we are only going to get a mid to late 1st round pick for him. I expect he will stay unless a fair deal comes our way like St Kilda's pick 10.

Nothing really to be terrified about given the coin he is apparently on and the fact he will have a contract next year regardless.

Ah bugger. Losing those picks at the backend hurts a bit.

Not really. At most they'd be used for Allison and/or Watson, but we might just choose to take a deficit on next year's third or fourth rounders.

Edit: depending on what other picks we bring in, I reckon that's the plan given our earliest pick is now at the start of Round 5 and not worth points.

I see what you mean, just uncomfortable with us risking a deficiet at any point really.
 
So we have 3, 16, 19, 21 (those that matter) without trading out Hanley or Rockliff. Still would have loved pick 5 thrown in there but they don't have it. Oh well, welcome Ben Ainsworth you would think.

The other possibility is that we have some points coming in for the likes of Green.

That's definetely a possibility.

16 is a pretty solid pick in it of itself isn't it? Should be a couple of really solid kids in that position

So the deficit definitely comes off the subsequent pick/round next year? I thought the deficit came off our first pick the following year, which at this rate would be really early...

If you're right then that's fantastic business by the club
 
Seems odd for a trade like this to be done early in the week unless one of the teams wants the picks for a trade or were getting in before Essendon.
