Are you sure???
We’ll demand 2 first round picks and I think clubs will offer that up.Will Day for Adelaide's First Round Pick
Love your style CK! Genuinely fanciful in the true spirit of the thread! If we can get 4 I’d be rapt so this is gold. Interested in that scenario that’s net 6 players in after dgb and day leave, who are the other 6 list changes?We’ll demand 2 first round picks and I think clubs will offer that up.
He’s my favorite player at Hawthorn and I’m not sure we will retain him beyond this year.
In total, I think this year, we could end up with 5 or 6 or 7 first round picks and I think it would be good for the club if we did.
The How:
- I think we’ll end up last and trade our first pick for 3 first round picks. Similar to what North were offered for JHF 2 years ago.
- I dread losing Day but I think he’ll leave and we’ll get 2 first round picks for him
- I can see us aggressively targeting GWS for their first round Pick & O’Halloran contract dump.
- I dread losing DGB but we may also trade him for a first round Pick.
In total, we could lose Day & DGB and pick 1 and gain 7 first round picks and O’Halloran. (say something like picks 2, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13) We may push for 1 or 2 of those picks as future first round picks so we end up with 5 first round picks this year and 2 future first round picks.
It sounds crazy but that is possible and as much as I hate the thought of losing Day and DGB and pick 1, I’d do that sacrifice/deal for the long term benefit of the club.
We could end up at the end of trade and Draft period with:
Outs - Day, DGB, Pick 1
In: say, Duursma, Moir, Watson, Caddy, Archer Reid, O’Halloran and 2 future first round picks
Plus our current second round pick, and Will McCabe.
This means we end up with:
3 x KPP (say Caddy, Reid, McCabe)
2 x top end midfielders who can play forward (say Duursma & Moir)
1 x small forward (Watson)
1 x experienced mid (O’Halloran)
1 x Second round pick (say?)
2 x future first round Picks.
Will was one of the first building blocks of our rebuild and will be in his 5th season next year whilst whoever we draft with that pick would be in their 1st. Just feels like we’re spinning wheels.What if Adelaide finish bottom 2?
I disagree.
To use hawks drafted in similar areas, I’d rather Josh Ward + Will Day vs Harry Sheezel (the effective player taken at their pick) + some plodder, even if sheezel is the best of that lot
Twomey and Beveridge suggest clubs could offer 3 first rounders for pick 1 this year, nothing heading back the other way. If one of those is in the top 5, as phenomenal is Reid is, I’d probably want to take it.
We need quantity of quality at the moment
We wouuld still have Newcombe in that age barrack but I wouldn't want to active shop a player of Days quality during a rebuild.Will was one of the first building blocks of our rebuild and will be in his 5th season next year whilst whoever we draft with that pick would be in their 1st. Just feels like we’re spinning wheels.
Why? He’s a FA.
If he wants a trade home to SA and It could happen because he hasn’t renewed his contract. We would want a lot for him but I doubt he’s worth a top 10 pick unfortunately.Will Day for Adelaide's First Round Pick
Seriously I love the idea. The only issue is you have overvalued two of our players.We’ll demand 2 first round picks and I think clubs will offer that up.

Rankine's output at GC wasn't exactly Pick 5 worthy. They coughed it up based on his potential.Adelaide got:
Rankine
Pick 46
2023 4th rounder (tied to Freo)
For:
Pick 5
2023 3rd round pick (tied to Adelaide)
2023 4th round pick (tied to Adelaide)
Essentially pick 5 for Rankine with some shuffling of late selections.
There's no way we are getting two firsts for Day based on current output. He'd need to have a huge season to command that kind of package.
Nup - that’s why it’s merely a rumour on a podcast.Heard a rumour on the Hawks Insiders podcast that DGB is certain to leave at the end of this year if he's not in the seniors side. Anyone heard anything like this?
The only issue is there is no alternate universe where any club ends up with 5, 6 or 7 first round draft picks.Seriously I love the idea. The only issue is you have overvalued two of our players.
Day – We won’t get 2 first round picks for him. We would be lucky to get one at this stage. I love him as a player but he is all hope and potential ATM.
DGB – His first year looked like a jet and now he can’t get a game in the seniors. If we lose him, it will be for not much unfortunately. Unless he plays this week and consolidate a spot and starts taking big skelps the hype starts on him again.
I love your enthusiasm though mate. I’ll be daydreaming about this scenario playing out all year. Would be amazing.
You mean fanciful!The only issue is there is no alternate universe where any club ends up with 5, 6 or 7 first round draft picks.
Absolutely ridiculous
You expect that’s right why would he stay to play box hill when he’s a walk up start at home for west coast. If we want him he needs to play we are giving reeves unearned games with an eye to the future why is DGB any different? You know at least you would get 100% commitment a trait sorely lacking last weekNup - that’s why it’s merely a rumour on a podcast.
Pretty hard to leave at the end of 2023 when you’re contracted to the club until the end of 2024.
I was trying to let him down without being a prick.The only issue is there is no alternate universe where any club ends up with 5, 6 or 7 first round draft picks.
Absolutely ridiculous
I was told recently that his missus moved over here. On top of being contracted and the fact that he’s been on social media liking posts about how he should be given time to develop I find it hard to believe that he wants out.Heard a rumour on the Hawks Insiders podcast that DGB is certain to leave at the end of this year if he's not in the seniors side.

Just on the salary dump, there actually has to be a decent salary for gws to consider that. Ohallaran would be on minimum chips, they’d never give away a decent pick with him. If Whitfield has a poor year that would be much more likely the player they would try to move on. But if you’re taking a 900k a year salary on the books you’d want a pretty good pick to come along with it.We’ll demand 2 first round picks and I think clubs will offer that up.

Ohallaran is OOC at the end of the season.Just on the salary dump, there actually has to be a decent salary for gws to consider that.

Good to hear, hopefully that is the case.I was told recently that his missus moved over here. On top of being contracted and the fact that he’s been on social media liking posts about how he should be given time to develop I find it hard to believe that he wants out.
Who knows.Good to hear, hopefully that is the case.
Begs the question why that is submitted to an incredibly niche supporter group podcast with a few thousand listeners with such certainty.
How would we get the suns first rounder?
