Prediction 2019 "Hypothetical Trade, FA, random player you wish we could get" thread..

[SHAKESPEARE]

Any other gems from your lunch meeting today? Appreciate your insights!

Can confirm

 

[butlers hawks]

It does surprise me that the Hawks aren't interested at all in Petracca or any Dees player. I can see them trying to climb up to the Dee's pick and maybe its more that Dee's saying it is one or the other but still a tad surprising to me

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Wasnt that someone who was interested in Smith? Thought there were people on here suggesting Smith was out the door? Unless this has all changed in the last few weeks

Was mentioned here. Also Bulldogs have been linked to Smith for a few months now.

 

[Pessimistic]

If Patton is coming to bolster fwd. Then add a promising chb via draft. And Finn 4 midfield of course

There’s enough swingmen already to make

Keep loaded up for A grade FAs next year

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Put a line through Petracca rumour completely has no substance Dees are trying to take one of our experienced players but we are not interested in dealing for anything but picks

Well it obviously has substance the dees are just playing hard ball as I expected. Happy to proclaim there pissed off with Christian publicly yet seem unwilling to compromise.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

So there is substance, just not for the price Dee’s are asking.

Correct.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

No Melbourne are looking at one of our players and we are only looking at bringing picks in not interested in trading for fringe players

Mate there is or was substance as long as a club they are dealing with comes to the party locked and loaded.

 

[VandoHawk]

Would like us to look at Lewis Taylor. Out of contract, not getting a game, would come relatively cheap and has flexibility to play as a wingman/small forward.

Petracca has played 68 games in the past three seasons...wouldnt call him fringe

 

[Rushed_Behind]

That is a great argument. However, it seems like you are having a bit of both ways.

1. Strict one year contracts for players over 30.
2. But if that player gets a car crash injury they know their welfare will be taken care of and they won't be turfed out of the club.

It can't be both. If the club gives "welfare commitments" then they aren't really strict one year contracts are they?

The reality of strict one year contracts is that:

1. If a players wants security we will help you get to another club.
2. We regularly lose players, like Smith, when over the age of 30.

Thus there needs to be some flexibility, unless we accept we will lose players.

Fair enough, but I think club is still scarred from nick holland situation and tbh Lewis was cooked and hodgey although being great for Brisbane we had players there he was taking a game from.

AFL Runner saying both Ceglar and Pitto likely to stay which surely cannot be correct. Anyways interesting times a head.

I hope it is correct - would be great to keep them both

so no greenwood either, phew!

 

[Brant]

-Davis, Hopper, Cogs, Greene, Whitfield, Ward, Taranto, Cameron, Haynes, Kelly, Shaw, Williams - all arguably A graders

-Kennedy, Perryman, Corr, Finlayson, Himmelberg, Simpson, Keefe, De Boer, Buntine, Tomlinson - can be solid B grade players and good role players

-Caldwell, Hately, Bonar, Cumming, Taylor, Daniels, Langdon, Hill - good young talent, definitely a few really good players of the future in here.

GWS has a lot going for them in terms of their players and list. Quality and quantity in terms of A grade elite talent, B grade role players and even a great group of really young but promising draftees

Yeh, we should probs go f**k that up for them!

33 Days til trade period

Wasnt talking about Christian was talking about the other players floated

 

[matsta1975]

Well if there was it is no longer

 

[TylerDurden]

No Melbourne are looking at one of our players and we are only looking at bringing picks in not interested in trading for fringe players

So we are looking at their pick 3? Lemme guess they want a Breust or a Gunston?

 

[butlers hawks]

Smith is the name we have heard they are interested in but we would need to sweeten that with our pick youd think (sorry about the dabble in hypothetical)

 

[Buzz Hawk]

Put a line through Petracca rumour completely has no substance Dees are trying to take one of our experienced players but we are not interested in dealing for anything but picks

I hope your Melbourne recruiter mate doesn't have a BF account and sees you spilling the beans here
Unless he's totes ok with it, in which case;

 

[Randy Campbell]

-Davis, Hopper, Cogs, Greene, Whitfield, Ward, Taranto, Cameron, Haynes, Kelly, Shaw, Williams - all arguably A graders

-Kennedy, Perryman, Corr, Finlayson, Himmelberg, Simpson, Keefe, De Boer, Buntine, Tomlinson - can be solid B grade players and good role players

The AFL's most overrated list.

 

[Burtman]

Doubt we’d be looking at pick 3, demons second rounder is perfect for smith and about as good of an outcome we can hope for if he leaves. Bulldogs second rounder would be a lot worse

 

[WWSD]

The AFL's most overrated list.

Have you seen Essendon? Clearly not.

 

[Sixpence]

So we are looking at their pick 3? Lemme guess they want a Breust or a Gunston?

Dees have pick 2.

Unless GC have been granted a PP and I haven't heard yet?

 

[HODGEYROAD]

The AFL's most overrated list.

I don't think the list is the problem, more to do with the bloke that's coaching it.
