List Mgmt. 2015 Trade, Free agency and draft rumours

[Roughies Boys]

The way I see it, Treloar has come out and said he'd like to get to Collingwood, Dixon has come out and would like to get to Port, these are players who are nominating teams out of the finals race. That leaves Carlisle and Bennell, they have both indicated (or had indicated for them) that they are moving from their current club, yet neither have declared where they would prefer to be traded.

It could be a coincidence or it could be that the clubs they are looking to get to are still in the finals race. I'm not saying that our club will pick up both players, just leads me to believe that the clubs still active are the ones in the picture.

Wait to watch Brad Scott scream his interest... will really annoy me!!

St Kilda. Bombers want a Top 10 pick

Would prefer him there - don't really mind the Saints. Would hate to see anyone decent go to Carltank. Their languishing is fun to watch.

geezz..... from Danger to Bennell and now down to Lycett...

Our post season activity looks to be getting more and more boring

The less we hear about Hawks trading, the more likely we are to go BANG!

Just remember, Fox said we wouldn't go chasing any free agents. Maybe he's playing his cards kinda like being the hot girl, all the suitors will come to us.

Carlisle looks destined for the Blues at this stage.

I assume you mean for pick 1 in the PSD. They don't call him Jake the Snake for nothing.

I don't usually like those kinds of shenanigans - but if a player involved in the injection program wants to screw EFC over I would fully support it.

I'd like to see BB jump

Be nice if he could borrow Cyril's or Poppy's boots. They have plenty of spring in them.

 

[Dewnior]

BB will be wearing a pair of these on Friday night

Was frustrating watching him against Ryder in the Port game. Did not jump or try to initiate early contact to at least block Paddy's jump a the ball.
He just looked lost as a ruckman which is a concern.

89Adopter it wouldn't make any sense to Hawks threatening to walk away from Equalization if their wish of future draft picks being allowed to trade wasn't granted if they don't use it.

Well it does make sense because it would have given our opponents an unfair advantage, even if we don't takr advantage of it this offseason.

I just want to see some intent from the big man, express himself physically if he knows he can't jump with the other ruck. Hale does it well, Stefan Martin is the best in the league at it.

Shouldn't those concerns be addressed by Big Monkey?

We battled hard to get future trading of Draft picks through. I am wondering if our intention might be to trade out some players to get early picks in next year's draft, which is supposed to be much better than this year's.

 

[Bad Boy Beama]

Would the Hawks be interested in making a play at getting Matthew Lobbe?????????????

 

[Milkshaker]

Because your so awesome , work for your self ,have a hot missus, drive expensive cars, think I've read sorrento mentioned somewhere, yadda yadda yadda.
So of course you would be able to throw the boots on for the hawkers.
We should just have a thread just on how amazing you are!!

Gee you look like an amazing poster too.

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

We have 4 ruckmen on our list already.

 

[Thaihawk]

Remember that the trading of future picks can work the other way as well and the Hawks could be looking to trade out for picks to load up on next years stronger or deeper draft / free agency.

Should have read these posts before I posted, as I say exactly the same as B&G.

3 when Hale retires at year end

Funny you say that. I dont remember seeing Big Monkey at the game. You would imagine that our rucks have spent considerable time viewing their WC opponents techniques this week.

If we were to bring in another ruckman it won't be an established player. We have two AFL quality rucks in McEvoy and Ceglar

They pay a free for that now a lot of the time and over there we are going to get r*ped by the umps.

So Bennell is heading to Victoria next year, but not to the Hawks:

And that's all about managing their agents' expectations.
"Your player is looking at Hawthorn? Well we're not particularly interested right now, but we'll have a look at what you've got and think about it"

Actually, that's exactly like the hot girl!
