thanks for that Vando

Fair point - but effectively all GWS has done is swap Patton for Sam Jacobs using the same 2020 pick and ridding themselves of Patton's solid salary for next year. They're better off because they badly need a proven ruckman and Patton was surplus given their forward structure.

It's a win win because we're better off with Patton basically replacing the big Rough.

Yes, I hadn't seen that they on-traded that pick for Jacobs. They would've made the trade with us safe in the knowledge that Adelaide would accept that pick for Jacobs. Credit to them for not letting their collective ego get in the way of securing a player who will likely be crucial to any shot they have at winning the flag in 2020.

Just to clarify.

Initially I posted Frost would stay, and updated this thread a week later to say he was coming to us. You’re welcome to check my posting history for confirmation.

Burgoyne was gone for all money, thankfully he ended up staying. Things in this game do change folks, it’s never set in stone.

As for the rest of the trade period, I have nothing to update. Will try get one later today/early tomorrow.

Take care folks.

Summary of Graham Wright's interview on trade radio:

• Was asked about the backlash from supporters about trading popular players (they were talking about Daniher). Wright said it was difficult but that he believed many Hawthorn supporters had trust in Clarko and himself to make the right decisions. Certain list management decisions don't always pay dividends but clubs do what they believe will ultimately benefit the football club. Didn't comment specifically on Daniher.
• We have a strong football subcommittee that has been in place since Wright has been at the club - from Dunstall to Vandenberg. Everything we do from a list management point of view is done in collaboration. It’s not just Clarko & Wright (although he did admit Clarko was basically involved in everything).
• Patton has been training strongly for the back half of the year. We’re aware of his injury history and know that there is an element of risk but our medical staff ticked it off. GWS are flushed with talented talls which opened the door and let us acquire him cheaply.
• Isaac Smith will be playing at Hawthorn. Some enquires were made about Smith earlier in the week but we’re not moving him on.
• We’ll go to the draft with Pick 11 & 30 (as in not looking to trade for players). However, we have a lot of time to trade picks until the actual draft and we’ll look at options available. Highlighted live trading was also an option. When asked about live trading and the openness of this draft said he expected a fair bit of movement from clubs.
• We will select the best player available at 11 rather than draft for any specific need. Yet again tried to highlight Mark McKenzie was making the decisions but was basically ignored by Dwayne.
• Decisions on Shoey, Puopolo & other uncontracted players still haven’t been made. Will be made based on how many picks we have available and whether we believe certain players have a lot to offer.
• Wasn't asked about Pittonet or any other potential moves

Dwayne is literally the worst person in footy, thought his questions were super poor and looking for strange angles.

Thanks for the summary. How could they not ask him about Pitts?

Absolute joke of an interview. Russell needs to do his homework before wasting GW time.

 

[Pessimistic]

Does it sound like GW and Co are done for the day?

 

[matsta1975]

Deal was done in principle with GWS early last week don't be fooled by reports about niggle between clubs about the intended value both clubs were just waiting to see where other opportunities might pop up but pick was always going to be token as taking Scully and now Johnathan are pivotal in them keeping Cogs, Whitfield and Cameron

 

[MrPremiership]

Pittonet deal likely tomorrow, Carlton busy with Papley and Martin deals.

Hawks will probably look at pick swaps, but no rush on those. Have until November 20 to do, and also live trading on draft night

 

[Hawker55]

Thanks for the summary. How could they not ask him about Pitts?

It's Trade Radio. If they can work out how the mikes work it's a good day.

 

[Alsmypal]

All came to fruition. We get Patton who will be a great addition for a future 4th on 350k a year. Plenty of cap space flexibility still available.
Dodo never in the picture deals been done for a long time.
Wrighty and co geniuses. Great to see Patton at Hawthorn!

 

[QuietB]

No one wants that Melbourne 4th round pick.

Nothing happens for a week yet one measly 4th round pick has been through 5 clubs now.

 

[Davo-27]

one thing GW is a master of is the trade, he is tough and flexible a rare combination, congrats on a good job grabbing Patton and Frost for good value.

 

[WWSD]

Knee injury, the second surgery was to rectify a poor surgery the first time.

He's athletically very good. Good pace, explosive still even after the ACL. The question is on whether he's got much in the way of footy nous. He's never really showed consistent output at any level.

Sounds like Scrimshaw before he arrived at Hawthorn. Only 20 years old, hardly done anything with untapped potential.

Today he stated "Luke Parker is getting on, you would only get two years out him".

Luke Parker is 26.

Literally has no idea.

Wasn't that a Trade Radio highlight

Wasn't that a Trade Radio highlight

Heard it live on trade radio - immediately turned it off.

 

[MowShow]

Heard from a reliable source (inside the club and same age bracket as Bonar) that Bonar is keen on joining, but nothing in terms of where we sit with it... He seems to have some connections at the club (not just JR), I think a few of the boys are keen for him to join. Pretty confident AB wants to be a Hawk, its whether or not we really want him.

I'm also getting a bit of mail that Bonar has expressed interest in moving to us. Seems unlikely the Hawks bite though (or at least we are very unsure).
