Mega Thread Trade Targets 2014

[Just Kreuzing]

Sounds like a few more Dogs players are disgruntled now after what has transpired today.

Who could we target ??

Wouldn't mind Dalhaus....

 

[Dominator_7]

The Bont!!!

[Dramoth]

One thing that I noticed in this... Jaksch has a good turn of speed really

Doesn't fit our list management strategy....

Hasn't turned 19 yet and we want 20 to 24 year olds....

Unrealistic but we will never know unless we ask I suppose....

Elite kick for a big man too.

 

[HBF]

He won't be. Guaranteed game time next year. Sydney know ho good he is.

He couldn't get a game after 60+ touches in the NEAFL this year.
Swans have a pretty strong midfield already and with Heeney coming in it's only going to get stronger.

Watch this space.

jones doesn't have the tank to play chf we've been told, you'd imagine lachie will be doing a lot of lead up work this year. or casboult. forward line sounds full, but includes unknowns like watson and jones.

sam michael as a rookie ruck, has also had a bit of success as a 199cm key defender.

o'rourke is the project midfielder a team like hawthorn can afford to leave on their list while they grow and overcome injuries, a bit like anderson. still too skinny. we'd expect and need more out of him straight away. could see an eventual geelong-type scenario though, once the old hawk brigade starts to move on, it's discovered the kids are merely solid rather than champions.

Would love Mitch. It won't happen.

And it really bites that their getting Heeney too. Right up there with Petracca as the best mid in the draft.

Was reported earlier that we have plenty of room to move. Strange to hear otherwise now.

Its got nothing to do with cap the Mclean decision.

It is purely spots on the list, IE if we bring in 4 draft picks, Jaksch, Jones, Whiley and whoever else stays (robbo and lucas) then there are no more spots left for Brock.

It has nothing to do with salary cap...

 

[HARKER]

Wish these coaches would stop ruining the trade period by throwing themselves under the bus.

McCartney for development coach?

Yes, that was my understanding.

O'Roukes key description states he is an elite kick, what is the Hawks main strength- their pin point passing

He is supposed to be great in this role. May be worth a shot.

Yep, the preference is to fill a spot on the list with a younger prospect for the future which will cost nowhere near as much as McLean or Lucas.

The younger cheaper players that come in will be also be a better fit for our game style and the requirements/trends of the game going forward.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Sounds like he is a straight shooter, just what we need.

 

[Dramoth]

But it's so much easier to follow the group think and just assume Whiley is no good because you don't know who he is

Thats the big killer... O'Rourke is a high draft pick while Whiley is a zone pick that never went into the draft. O'Rourke was in all the phantom drafts and Whiley missed out because he never went into the draft.

People are just seeing the names flashed all over the papers and think that's the standard people have to adhere to. If they dont have their names in the paper, they must be shit.

People are such lemmings at times.

 

[HBF]

He might go as an assistant with Thompson to the Gold Coast.
They seemed to work pretty well at Geelong.

 

[*VInSaiN*]

Hear it every year. Sounds more like a tale to make themselves look like they are not getting ripped off in the deal ............

Yep! And jack Watts was ranked No 1 pick once too!

I reckon Bomber is just waiting to see a few land at the Suns over the trade period before committing.

Wouldn't be surprised if he was the one who put the idea in Christensen's head to go there.

Macca would be a good fit for the young GC players to help with their development also.

 

[Gambelic]

Yep! And jack Watts was ranked No 1 pick once too!

So was Kreuzer.

 

[Dramoth]

Elite kick for a big man too.

That was the other thing... and that goal of his from outside the 50... he can roost the thing.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Certainly made McLean look slow.....

Seriously though, spoils well, has a thumping kicking and displays an attacking side to his game with his preparedness to run off half back.

Can see him swinging ends with Henderson when required.
