Strategy 2021 Draft and Hypothetical pick trade proposals

[Strapping Young Lad]

Lol seriously can we just have a ban on posting things ol clickbait Kornes says…

none of it is interesting and it’s all designed to just stir people up.

Hodgey wants a new rule! Hodgey gets a new rule.

No more clickbait shit from Cornes in here.


Also:

Can we also threadban Rendell quotes. The bloke is senile.

Done

The time to let Breust go was two years ago, we cannot miss that boat again with this current group of 28 year olds

Lol miss the boat you can not force someone to leave see Mcpherson

 

[Mercy Seat]

The irony of *wanting* Gil's GWS ambassador payments to help us move on a player we grabbed after missing out on a player that we should have picked up due to Gil's GWS ambassador payments....

You absolutely can - see Burton

 

[TheFourPillars]

You absolutely can - see Burton

Burton was sold on the transition to go home by Port. Wingard may not be sold to go to GWS. In the end it was Burton's decision to go. If Wingard doesn't want to go he wont

 

[KermitJagger]

Would say it's a bit easier to push a kid back to his home state, to the club he supported as a kid and that his partner and family all support especially when he isn't particularly close with any other players at his current club.

 

[Southwest hawk]

Are we really this bad ??? Blokes in hear think our midfield is 35+… modern sports science has athletes extending their careers in the major sports. Sick of everyone underrating the list and the old “ won’t be around for next flag tilt”, we need the experienced players we have to set the standard and culture at the joint.
Go around again next year with this group, no way I can see these guys in the bottom 8 unless injuries ravage the list.
make us a destination club again

Burton was pinned into a corner where only one choice was on the table. He was mid-way through renovating a home here in Melbourne, it was not a move he wanted to make.

Could that have changed further down the line? Possibly. But it wasn't on the cards until Clarkson forced it.

Burton could've stayed if he wanted to

we weren't even the team that bought his name up (or contacted him first, it was one of them)

Why am I upset if we lose the Chad or Jom but no so upset if we lose Tom?

Tom is a brownlow medalist, but is he really a match winner like the other 2?

 

[killerspud]

You can say whatever you want on this but you can not force a player to leave. They still have to choose to go

he just doesn't get it.

Wingard is the only one Id miss, still have to pinch myself hes a Hawthorn player.

 

[CHUBBSS]

Trade radio makes me sick...and yet here I am listening again ahahah

 

[RoughysMullet]

Wingard needs to agree otherwise this conversation is moot.

Not really- we tell him we’re keen to trade him like we did Croad or Burton.. he’ll get over it..
It’s professional sports, these blokes are payed massive wages to kick a footy.
He can suck it up and go because at the end of the day it’s what’s best for the club…

Titch hasn't been romanticised nearly as much by the supporter base, especially after his injury and his focus on the Ball Magnets app promotion.
JOM looks like a leader, and Chad has worn his heart on his sleeve with us the whole time he's been here.

We have been for 3 years... What is going to change next year?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

 

[TheFourPillars]

Aah yes and the truth shall set you free

 

[killerspud]

We have been for 3 years... What is going to change next year?

The injection of youth in the past few years - Day CJ DGB Bramble Newcombe Brockmann, Kosi, Jeka, Scrimshaw, Maginess Downie all continuing their development both in the ones and twos

The injection of a new coaching team - new outlook and ideas - started last year with Nash in the Middle

The injection of covid vaccines that means the next season isn't going to be as interrupted

The injection of (at this stage picks 5, 21, 24 which isn't the worst hand you can have in a deep misfield draft.


like in the blues brothers - I say we give Mitchell and his team one chance with what we have before we go crazy on deals.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

 

[TheFourPillars]

I can categorically tell you with absolute certainty this is not how it played out

Ahhh so that is why you hate Wingard you are still dirty on the trade for him releasing burton. You know or are affiliated with Burton in some way. Port came out and lied about the fact we put his name up they owned up to it in trade period. Burton spat the dummy are these not truths

 

[almuz]

I remember at the start of the year Chad said the goal every year is to win a premiership.

Being real here - there’s a lot better chance in the next 2 to 3 years the Giants salute compared with us. obviously there are other factors such as relocating to a new city again so you can see why he wouldn’t be keen to move on

Nope
