List Mgmt. 2015 Trade, Free agency and draft rumours

[Brant]

I heard that Melbourne are looking to try to join the Hawks as a club.

In a reverse-merger, Melbourne - including former Coach of the Year, Paul Roos - are excited at becoming Hawks & being coached by Clarko. In response, Hawthorn suggested that they were frustrated at already having to fund basket-cases via the luxury tax so may as well have Brayshaw & Hogan available as players on the list.

I'll let you know if I hear any more...

Dogs ARE NOT leading the race , Blues have put 5yrs/700-750 in front of him and are leading for his services .

Same contract as rumoured to be in front of Treloar. Carlisle is 1-2 years older.

Who do you think would help you win a Premiership sooner? A petulant "swing man" who is stronger at defence or a possession gatherer who doesn't really "hurt" teams when he gets (a lot of) it?

49 posts and familiar with the work of opposition posters???? You have been getting around.

1st time poster, long time reader.....

 

[Ripper Rioli]

I don't know who that is.

Young onballer. More inside than outside. Averages 20 odd touches.

2016: Carlisle

Eagles have talls at both ends & are close enough to strike.
Footscray & GWS have dynamic talls as forwards & will require countering with quality big defenders. Simply can't match GWS for midfield firepower so the best we can hope for (2017 & beyond) is to blanket them with defensive game style & win at either end.

We need a KPD to partner Frawley for the next 5+ years & desperately need a ready-made, bullish Alpha inside mid. We can't afford them both via trade, hence Danger via FA is critical. We can't afford both in our salary cap, either. Back-ended deals the only hope.

My ideal scenario is Danger ending up at Dingley and Treloar ending up at Tigerland.

But that's more a personal want thing than a I "know" anything, thing.

20? He looks like he always gets 40+. does nothing with it

Alpha bull??? There is only one Luke Hodge.

Do you mean autocorrect?

Now, that's not nice Davo. The lad isenough without you rubbing it in.

I just went to visit AFL website and the first thing that I saw was 'Jed on the market"!! Heart palpitations ensued!!

I am totally amused by this decision from Brisbane, i understand a youth policy but this bloke was captain. Surely leadership is what Brisbane need.

Old Bull needs a Young Bull

Agree, it has the same stench Melbourne getting rid of James McDonald.

 

[BigLittleHawk]

Harley Bennell, come on down....

 

[Gene Simmons]

Just been reported on TFS that Hawks are considering making a play for Harley Bennell

 

[TheExtractorFactor]

Bennell/Smith/Hartung/Hill. Good luck keeping up

 

[Siri]

Harley Bennell, come on down....

Didn't Barrett also insist that we were balls deep into Tarrant? Maybe we were ... but until you hear it from a more reliable source take it with a cup of salt!

 

[Homeless Midget]

Is this the same barret reporting about Bennell that said the Hawks have Tarrant stitched up

 

[BigLittleHawk]

Yeah....not sure how into him we would be. He's not an inside grunt player...not sure we want another outside runner...

 

[bigblackboz]

Pretty sure half of the journalists use BF as their source....

 

[Homeless Midget]

Terry Wallace did say on trade radio regarding Bennell , watch this space as the Hawks are up 2 something, we have been and will continue to be linked to every mid , clutching at straws boys , hopefully one gets it right in the end

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

as if we need more strikes. we just got rid of a heap

Surely our interest in druggies has ended? Haven't we already tried this path before?
