List Mgmt. 2015 Trade, Free agency and draft rumours

[Thaihawk]

Or is he talking about Pittoent?

Beat me to it Stevie. I think Big Pit has been improving, and I'm wondering if he has still been growing. Drafted at 202cm, and 100+ Kg, and is still just 19. A good preseason and maybe he will be ready for a few games next year.

 

[halfback dasher]

If I don't see an official announcement sometime soon, I'm going to lose it.

Don't believe there will be one , just trust it's all good bro .

 

[MrPremiership]

Don't believe there will be one , just trust it's all good bro .

whats the movement on Hartung's contract HBD?

 

[Steven Tyler]

Can you provide a little more info? Are we just looking at an established ruck in general or do we have a specific player in mind? If the latter is it essentially "done"?

Kreuzer did mention today that despite being happy at Carlton, he hasn't ruled out the fact that he is a free agent (restricted?) at the end of the year

 

[Steven Tyler]

Grabbing a Griffin-freo Warnock-blues or even a Minson-dogs as a back up as we could get either for a pack of chips , we need to use our bargaining chips this year on mids , if we don't address our midfield it will run like Carltons forward line since fevola

Would rather Pittoent (sp?) as backup to Cegs and Bigboy, than any of those 3 list cloggers

 

[MrPremiership]

We lack

- solid tap ruckman who can go forward (hale's retirement)
- back up power forward (only Roughy)
- inside pacey ball winning midfielder (very slow currently with Lewis, Mitchell, etc)

Are we sold on any of the BHH blokes coming through being able to fill those holes? No one really knocking the door down, like Langford did last year

I don't want any of them but if they have plans on getting a ruck I just hope they don't waist giving up anything for one , totally agree on pittonet

I think Clarko would prefer Roughy or Shoey as relief ruck, than a Minson or Warnock

It's more for a backup to an injury than a relief ruckman , just need to rookie one is all

 

[Move P]

Not sure why everyone so excited by this Hugh Greenwood?

Only 191cm and hasn't played football since juniors?

Pass

I guess good recruiting is about looking forwards not backwards

 

[Hodginator]

Don't believe there will be one , just trust it's all good bro .

No announcement at all, or just any time soon? Would seem a little strange not to even have a small article on the Hawks website saying he's re-signed.

HB offers a bone and you want the entire carcass. Just have a little faith mate

If he's got a good jump/mobility, are he and Pitts going to be the next NicNat/Cox

 

[MadDawg]

Not tall enough to be a ruck, more of a tall mid/3rd forward type but has the requested jump/mobility

Pitts will have to team up with Shem methinks

 

[Roughies Boys]

We lack

- solid tap ruckman who can go forward (hale's retirement)
- back up power forward (only Roughy)
- inside pacey ball winning midfielder (very slow currently with Lewis, Mitchell, etc)

Tatupu back up power forward.

 

[Dewnior]

Recon your wish might come true sooner rather than later .

I assume this means Monkey will be looking for a new job?

Dipping our toes back in the Irish talent pool after being burnt:

HAWTHORN'S long-running pursuit of emerging Gaelic star Conor Glass appears set to pay off, with the Hawks closing in on the young Irishman's signature.

Glass, 18, has been in the Hawks' sights for several years, but is finally old enough to join the club as an International Category B rookie.

The prodigiously talented Derry youth team captain recently visited Waverley for a two-week block of training – his second trip to the club this year after a stint in January.

And AFL.com.au understands Meath gun Conor Nash is also on the Hawks' radar.

It is believed Nash is not yet old enough to sign with an AFL club, but Glass is keen to take a punt on a career with the Hawks, according to Derry manager Damian McErlain.

Hawks close in on Irish star's signature

HAWTHORN'S long-running pursuit of emerging Gaelic football star Conor Glass appears set to pay off, with the Hawks closing in on the young Irishman's signature.

Glass, 18, has been in the Hawks' sights for several years, but is finally old enough to join the club as an International Category B rookie.

The prodigiously talented Derry youth team captain recently visited Waverley for a two-week block of training – his second trip to the club this year after a stint in January.

And AFL.com.au understands Meath gun Conor Nash is also on the Hawks' radar.

It is believed Nash is not yet old enough to sign with an AFL club, but Glass is keen to take a punt on a career with the Hawks, according to Derry manager Damian McErlain.

"Conor's contracted to do that (train with Hawthorn) and he goes with everyone’s wishes and backing," McErlain told The Irish News.

"That’s something he has to do, he wants to go there and touch base with his future employers."

Glass has been showered with high praise for his hard running and decision-making under pressure, and the flame-haired youngster inspired Derry to the Ulster Minor title last month.

The Hawks have closely monitored the lightly-framed midfield prospect, who has shown he can cope with physical attention after being targeted by opponents in Gaelic football.

"Glass was the captain of the Derry minor team. He is a rare and special talent. An exceptional footballer, his skills are matched by a temperament which belies his tender years," sports journalist Paddy Heaney wrote in the Irish Times.

Nash, who plays as a big-bodied midfielder in Gaelic football, is a multi-talented sportsman.

In February, the tall and quick teen was selected at full-back in Ireland's under-18 club rugby team.

The Hawks have the option of recruiting one Irish player outside of their normal rookie list, however any future signings would have to take up a spot on their main rookie list.

Scouring the international talent pool is not a new exercise for the back-to-back premiers.

Three years ago, the Hawks recruited Ciaran Kilkenny, but only months later he returned home to pursue his hurling and Gaelic careers.

Hawthorn has had far greater success developing New Zealand prospects, with tall defender Kurt Heatherley and key forward Shem-Kalvin Tatupu impressing at senior VFL level for minor premiers Box Hill this season.

He must've been the mysterious red head guy at training over the summer.

I assumed the hot Aussie summer would've scared him off.

 

[nickrebellious]

Hope we sign the Irish bloke. Anyone heard anything about Siope Ngata? He's eligible to be drafted this year. I think Kurt will be upgraded to the main list and I wouldn't mind if Shem became a normal rookie so we could grab an American rookie as a project ruck.

 

[HawksILove]

I also hope we sign gun Conor Nash

Siope is still deciding whether to pursue AFL or Union

With some talk of Troy Menzel wanting out, id love to see him in Hawks colours. Somewhat injury prone but a very talented young forward who should end up in the guts over the next few years
