彼らが誰を得ているかを知っている限り、彼は最高のものを手に入れなければなりません...

Couldn't agree more.

 

[GreatBradScott]

For a late pick...

Scully is a gun, is the news of him being part of GWS salary dump only new news? We better not have known this for a while

Been industry news since early September, Tom Morris reported it.

I haven't been jumping up and down for no reason, we had a chance to swoop and we wasted it in the bargain bin.

 

[Bigeasy]

Scully > Polec, Tyson or Pittard

Hawks seem to always get kissed on the di**

How are Hawthorn going to manage this. They have pick 15 and they're giving that away for Wingard arnt they?

 

[Mixed Results]

Tom Scully is the prime example of the GWS myth, where every player is seen as a superstar because that's just the vibe around there.

Will turn 28 next season, his ankle may be rooted and he has a career average of 21.2 relatively harmless touches. He does a lot of two-way running, but lets not pretend that he is any great loss.

I think the club would be much happier with a Tyson/Hall combo.

 

[Rod Stroker]

He doesn't portray confidence. He makes it sound like we have no real plan.

Never has. Not good in front of a camera, always looks nervous, like he's constantly mentally correcting himself not to say the wrong thing.

 

[billnats]

Then they don't get Pruess. And by what im hearing on the radio it isnt going to take much to get

lets see what hawks get him for shall we

Are the Hawks getting Preuss from Melbourne for pick 36? Good on Melbourne. I wouldn't pay that much for a VFL ruckman

 

[Rod Stroker]

Freo pulls out of Hogan race...

Hows GoDees cap?

On [device_name] using BigFooty.com mobile app

Probably means they can't get May now..

 

[Billy Not Really]

A relatively late pick? How late?

Sounds like Hawthorn is getting a bargain because bias towards premiership chances and Paul Connors fat ****in boner for top 4 clubs.

 

[G0ther00s]

We don't have any currency therefor it won't be us, but the Hogan deal not getting done leaves it open for another team to swoop in for Steve May. Also, if I were Melbourne I would call Freo's bluff here, whilst Lobb is nice, letting the chance to obtain Hogan go will be a bad mistake on their behalf. They've been searching for a key forward for 5-10 years and had no luck, that is unless Hogan has given them a handshake agreement that he will join when his contract is up.

 

[Rod Stroker]

With Preuss gone they are yet to consider whether their ruck backup comes from within or they draft a player like ex-Fremantle ruck Zac Clarke as the understudy for Todd Goldstein.

Clarke? Not sure about this. Bloke is built from pipe cleaners.

It's not bias, they clearly operate shrewdly and get rewarded for it. Closers close.

Bit worried about gws salary dumping... reckon they are aiming to throw a heap of cash to keep JK

 

[Horizons_00]

They will give them a low pick (40-60 or whatever they have) and maybe a fringe player

I did not know he was 28 though! I swear he was younger so that doesn’t seem so bad

 

[Rod Stroker]

Cut him some slack, I think he tries to be a little evasive. He is working back room deals one minute then trying to keep a poker face and not show interest where it may weaken his negotiation position. Does say 'need to work through it' a lot!

Pfft!

Blokes like Balmey handle the switch with aplomb. Can go from working deals, to footy ops, to coaching tactics, to front the media, all effortlessly and seamlessly.

Who cares how much money they offer him, I feel his next decision will have virtually be made up by now, at either club he will get good money but where will he enjoy his footy the most? With all these GWS players leaving I feel I already know the answer.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Like wingard Scully really isn't 'that' good.

As a wingman he isn't quite at the same level as Polec.

Maybe offer up a future 2nd round pick. That would be a bargain, but not sure we really need him.

GWS are pretty much torn apart. They’re core is gone

 

[Groin guru]

Lets think logical for a second. GWS are willing to part with Scully for cheap. Just like Sydney parted Hanners for cheap.

I've heard Scully's ankle injury was not only horrific but that his body (like Hanners) has taken an absolute pounding over the years (unsurprising given the amount of km's he's ran since his teenage years). He will not be a player that plays that long after 30.

Polec's 2018 is better than anything Scully has done. Remember this is a player that was woeful at Melbourne for a long time. Let's not overrate him because telstra tracker spoke about how much he ran during a finals series.

I remember reading or hearing that too. Can't remember where though.

Doesn't that speak more to how overly honest and low skilled Joyce is at negotiations?

Hawks and Essendon always get their guys, because their list managers are shrewd as they come. Dodoro is a madman.

Sydney and GWS will both be throwing loads of money at JK next year?

 

[ArchKing Carey]

Should change GWS to Greater Western Academy and Gold Coast to the Golden Academy.
They are basically feeder clubs for everyone else.

It’s a foregone conclusion that he’ll re-sign

 

[Groin guru]

IMO we should be seeing if we can lure Patton over for a salary dump. Will be cheap due to the 3 ACL's but it's a low risk, high reward. Give him the entire year off like we did to Ahern and see what can happen. Brown needs help and we are putting a lot of eggs into the Larkey basket.

I remember reading or hearing that too. Can't remember where though.

Probably me. I've written it about 5 times since the injury. People forget and when it gets brought up they think "yeah I've heard that too!"

The system works.

You shilled this at me good.
