says we should get this player”.

 

[Rhayader]

Interesting , wonder what in particular didnt go well ......

I think the source on this is the AFL Trade Whisperer on Twitter so ...

 

[MrPremiership]

The bit when he realised he was going to a team with more mids than any other club ......hence he went
WTF am I doing !!???

Then he hopefully looked at the team with arguably the worst midfield group in the comp and the need for speed......

 

[Bugs1977]

No one is going to come to us because we don't dangle enough of the carrot. All well and good to have a certain pay structure but players that are looking for a new home are not interested in being part of a club that was once a superpower a few years ago. it's not 2010 anymore. If we want the good players we take it seriously or we don't bother. We are clearly not interested in anyone if were not getting them cheap. Says to me that we are accepting now of a decent rebuild and live to fight another day when we become relevant again. I'm OK with that as long as the club is on the same page.

I think long term injury to Sicily and the retirements / loss of some long standing premiership players (Smith, Stratts, Frawley, Poppy) forced a rethink of where the list is at and the direction has been reassessed and it’s obvious that some hard decisions have been made.

Now it’s easy to get caught up in the ‘we should just hand out any old contract’ but that is just silly with what the long term focus is which I have no doubt whatsoever is adding guys to our core that fall within a reasonable pay structure. Does it mean we miss out on a Zac Williams type? Maybe but adding those types of players are the one you do when your ready to launch and the reality is we are just not there yet and until we keep on adding some quality pieces via the next couple of drafts it’s going to be money ball pickups and some hard times. You could hear it it Wrighty’s voice that he does want acquire Phillips but not by ridiculously overpaying.

There’s no rushing the next period coming up for the HFC and patience, smarts and some luck will most certainly be needed.

 

[HAWKSBESTEVA]

It said the result of the medical will be determined tmr

 

[Lickmesocks]

And you would know this because.........

I still reckon Phillips will be a Hawk. Just a gut feel.

 

[MrPremiership]

If Essendon want to win the Trade Period, they've got to lift. They are 5 goals down early in the 4th.

They are looking at making it 16 Trade Period wins in a row.....

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Then he hopefully looked at the team with arguably the worst midfield group in the comp and the need for speed......

I'd understand if it was a direct replacement for Dunkley but there looking to load up even more and keep Dunkley as well. Doesn't make alot of sense there all just going to be a group of ball hogs. They already have Bailey Smith

who is literally a replica to the way Treloar plays only 8 years younger.

Same

 

[Blackhawk42]

Dont have an issue with it either if thats what happens , no need to trade for the sake of trading.

When the season went pear shaped a lot of chat on here was 'draft,draft,draft' now its a bit 'why arent we actively trying to get players' just because its trade period.

Not saying nothing will happen either , we would have a very clear plan imo.

Combination of the compromised and unknown nature of this years draft crop plus players from other clubs being available to us who directly suit our needs.

I desperately wanted to hit the draft in 2018 and 2019 and so far all we've had to show for those years is Will Day

and Damon Greaves.

Personally I felt that it was time to be aggressive in the open market and the draft this year because both were possible. We have list space, salary cap room, draft picks and quality players available on the market. I'd say that any Hawthorn supporter who is a bit disappointed if we only end up with Hartigan and a few draft picks has every right to feel that way.

At the beginning of the trade period i was hoping for Hartigan, Phillips, Narkle, pick 4, Downie and at least 1 or 2 pick in the 40's.

We never asked the question on Narkle, have cooled on Phillips and currently have a bunch of draft picks for a shallow pool.

No saying I have all the answers and know better than the club, but I just want a bit more to be excited about heading into 2021 without James Sicily

and after our worst season in 15 years.

 

[Tugofawar]

Where did you get this information from?

 

[PLATTS44]

heck treloar like i told you look up his hammy history and yes he used to be good

 

[Tugofawar]

Apparently Treloar's medical didn't go well at Dogs....

Might be music to Hawthorn's ears...

Where are you getting this from?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I still reckon Phillips will be a Hawk. Just a gut feel.

He needs to lower his asking price.

 

[Hodgey 15]

If Phillips wants to come to us he'll have to compromise on his demands so it all depends on how keen/desperate he is to get to Hawks.
Anyone know if he's had any other suitors?

North are throwing money at anything with a heartbeat, so yeah, probably North.

 

[Hawthorn23]

He needs to lower his asking price.

I feel like it’s going to happen.

Does he back himself in next year at Collingwood to be a regular, have a career best year and demand the money (or more) that he wants. Unlikely considering the cap situation at the Pies.

The safe option is to lock in 1.2-1.3 mil over 3 years with a trigger for an extra year with us I reckon

Haha, his strings. I see what you did there.

Gee he looks a lot like Sicily in a Hawthorn jumper.

[Stratton24]

Where are you getting this from?

He gets it from Trade Whisperer so basically a stab in the dark.

 

[Steven Tyler]

Mate when you've got blokes doing medicals at North and Footscray, it tells you something. Unless we've concealed it from the media, I just don't think we've got any interest in these blokes left on the market.

Gut telling me now, it was always Hartigan and draft picks.

I wouldn't be getting my hopes up for any more than that, unless something turns overnight.

Look you are probably right

Did Hartigan do a medical?
Certainly wasn’t reported

 

[wahawk]

Look you are probably right

Did Hartigan do a medical?
Certainly wasn’t reported

Exactly, we never heard anything about it
But I doubt we took him on Adelaide doctors advice

 

[Lickmesocks]

Hartigan had to make Clarko a cup of tea. That was the extent of his medical.

 

[Lickmesocks]

He needs to lower his asking price.

1.5 over 3 years is my gut feel.
