Ultimate Glory 2023 Trade speculation and Shinbeggars discussion

[hawkman]

Have been told that the Tigers are looking at Kosi, which makes Esava as a fwd at Waverley more realistic.

Kosi at $5m for 7 years is better value as a forward than Esava. And Kosi only kicked 9 goals in 12 games this season

 

[SSSSSS]

Maybe Esava is the A grader in RnL's prophecy.

Eagles will laugh at that offer of DGB + Brockman + Pick 3 for Pick 1.

They can walk Brockman to the preseason draft if need be & DGB ain't worth a large big mac meal at present.

It’s funny, a few weeks ago posters here were saying that would be a bad deal for us

That's not true.

If a decent trade from Freo arises, they are forced to come up with something or miss out.

These forums are really tough and we know players and family’s read etc but the reality for us unfortunately is DGB has not shown much in 3 years. The highlights package would not be extensive and I can’t recall too many standout games where we could hang our hats on.

Clarko calling the kid Shaggy from Scooby Doo to the world on his draft day probably not his finest moment also.

Who is trading for him based on what we have seen? Possibly might net us a pick around 30-40 ish but it would have to be a club that says “let’s roll the dice with him and see if we can turn him into a running back or he eventually becomes steak knives in another deal.

That is the reality we are facing and it’s not great for a pick 6.

Yes it’s a shame because we won’t get any true value for DGB. We take the hit on this one and move on.

I do believe he will reach his potential at another club. Sadly I don’t feel he can do that at Hawthorn.

Might be best to start planning with Big Ben in our back line.

He’s out of contract next year, if he’s not keen on sticking around we’d be mad not to move him this year rather than him walking to the eagles next year or losing even more value.

He’s probably not worth much, but I still think he’ll be a great defender at some point.

There you go. Interesting.

 

[eldorado]

The eagles currently have pick 19 & their next pick being 35, they won't be giving up 19 for Brockman so a pick in the 30s will be the best we can hope for.

Right.


And, like I said....Freo?

 

[Sixpence]

Damn, I was so looking forward to paying Esava $5 mill over 7 years.

Wonder how this all plays with Norf compo pick etc - which will likely come before our pick…

 

[Hawktalk111]

As much as I would like to assist with your melt going on currently, I wont

If its not obvious that Esava would get a game over Blanck in our backline easily currently, your being purposely blind

I love Blanck, but he has zero offensive weapons, and gets monstered by the gorillas

He doesn't have an athletic or skill based upside

I agree that the Rat is ahead of Blanck but I would not sell him too short on his athleticism.

At the combine Blanck ranked 5th in agility, 7th in kicking efficiency but his real strength is his closing speed!
“the most interesting result was his first 5m - an unbelievable 1.001 seconds, ranked first of all combine invitees that tested”

James Blanck Draft Profile

DRAFT ANALYSIS: “A remarkable story of a local league defender who has bolted into draft contention on the back of some terrific performances this year.”

With the said the Esava also killed it at combine.

late second rounder

Sammy will remember the difference Brian L made to our team (who came much later than we needed him).

5 million over 7 years for Esava we are offering according to Edmund

It has to be a smoke screen to keep the media busy. Look here, whilst we do this quietly over here.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

If we get Ratugolea we'll use him as a forward/ruck, not a key defender. He's quite decent in that role imo

No he's not
