No Oppo Supporters 2019 Trade and FA period - Incoming Targets news discussion - read the rules in OP

[4THAWN]

Correct

I'd love to take him, looks like he'd fit in perfectly around a midfield of Titch/JOM/Worps with his pace.

Now the question is will the giants let him go?

 

[HawKing80]

He's never really showed consistent output at any level.

Injuries will do that to a player.
He's young and has shown some talent.
Key is when a player wants to come to Hawthorn, that passion should drive them to the next level.
Get him in for a Rnd 5 future pick

Personally not keen on Bonar, have not been that impressed with what I've seen so far

For all the heat the footy media cops in general (much of which is justified), there has not been a single surprise in this entire trade period (for any club or player). Everything going as widely reported for weeks if not months. Too late for there to be any major bomb shell big-ticket trades, just whether the trades that were reported weeks ago (Daniher, Paton, Hill, Steven, all of St Kilda's targets, Papley etc) get done.

Been saying for yonks we need a pressure forward but might have to be thru the draft at this stage.

Either one of Nash and Hanrahan should be able to hold down a spot. Not sure how the draft looks but if we are able to keep our first pick and get an explosive forward that’d be ideal.

Cody Weightman would be the one in the top 20 of the draft who I'd hope we're interested in to fill the void of a small forward.

This trade period is just another example of how amateur our game is compared to American sport, we're light years behind.

Welcome General.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

2 goals a game is not Elite for a KPF.

Was he elite this season?

Do you expect him to regress now after having an elite season on the Premiership side?

Was Roughie an elite KPF?

 

[Stranglers]

Great work once again GW. We get Finn in the draft now and I'm more than happy.

 

[Coburghawk]

Looks like Patton for a future 4th rounder

At the end of the day everyone gets stuff wrong, and people come on here to share with other passionate Hawks.
What does comparing and pitting people against each other get? Because so far it's just caused ITK silence for almost a week.

While we shouldn't jump up and down when people share Intel that doesn't eventuate. Posters should also choose their words when sharing.

Eg. "Someone i know who usually is right says that we are confident that we can get x". Not "100% done deal, x to hawks"

We've had a few people the past few years that probably had good Intel or even were correct but things changed but they were stating it as fact.

Until the paperwork is done it's all speculation even if your source is Graham Wright, the player or the opposition list manager.

I have had a player tell me directly that they were moving clubs and where they were going to, contract agreed, clubs agreed to trade everything setup. They weren't lying either but they ended up staying 1 more year and then getting traded to a different club.

Can't be mate, only averaged a tick over 2 goals per game.

That's daylight robbery.

 

[VandoHawk]

Patton to the Hawks

The GIANTS have reached an agreement with Hawthorn to trade forward Jonathon Patton for a future fourth-round pick (tied to Melbourne).

www.gwsgiants.com.au

We got him for a future fourth round pick. Absolute robbery!

 

[Iceman!]

Looks dam good in the Brown and Gold

 

[Black Hawk]

Patton for a future 4th wow. We've brought in Frost/Patton AND we've improved our draft position. Outstanding from GW (again).

I’m assuming you never saw his 1st & 2nd games? The kid is behind 10+ mids at GWS. His situation to me sounds like it’s similar to Scrimshaw where he’s been unmotivated and wants to come home.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

That's daylight robbery.

Nah it's about what he's worth given the contract situation at GWS.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Excellent work from GW and the team. I guess GWS were just posturing with that whole 'has no Scully' nonsense.

Yes I did, I also have watched him in junior footy. Honestly just don't think he is ever going to be more than a plodder. Very happy to be proven wrong but I just can't see it at all.

The problem with trading for value is that the players we can afford tend to be the ones who've stagnated for whatever reason or are coming back from injury. So exposed form isn't great, but the coaches see a role for their skills in our team and game plan

Gibson, Hale, Lake, Burgoyne all fit this model (and were all looked at as risks at the time)

 

[morsey]

Hawks got their way with the Paton deal. As if we would give up a 3rd pick
