Ultimate Glory 2023 Trade speculation and Shinbeggars discussion

[TylerDurden]

Every media contact I have, has said no decision has been made, but Hawks are confident.

Make of that what you will.

 

[Howe Amazing]

If we miss on Mackay, Miller from Tiges could be cheaper option in direct trade for Kosi, or Cumberland. Ralph-Smith suit Mitchell’s game plan too with pace. Can he play forward?

 

[SodaPop]

My gut feel is that a certain 'new' poster here is a * fan and has a legit source that they 100% have McKay so thought hey why don't I have fun on the Hawthorn board at least until an offical announcement is made. Could be wrong but I always trust my gut.

You can always ask Strapping Young Lad to do a background check?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I still wonder who the mystery A-grader is that RnL was eluding to earlier.

How?

It’s Naughton.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Please don’t post screen grabs from Facebook pages or Instagram pages of unauthorized and unofficial accounts.

Honestly, it’s just some random bullshit, extrapolating out actual reports or dart throwing the majority of the time.

 

[smish]

Could Oscar Allen be the A-Grader

Started following Hawks players

Good spot, he and Moorey just started following each other which generally means a coffee chat at least.

Don't think he's the A Grader however, possibly a new one though.

Not sure on his forward craft. Certainly breaks lines when he plays off half back although his output at AFL level has been very inconsistent. Not sure on his disposal either - from memory its iffy

 

[Bugs1977]

I’m backing TD on the McKay call. Hasnt failed me so far and pretty much confirms my earlier suspicions that we have been played from the start to drive up his price - Ive moved on from this whole debacle

OR we can just keep pumping up the offer and kill the * future salary cap

Keep in mind it could also be him taking the pi$$ with a parody to rile all you guys up. Just joking SYL… luv ya mate

 

[SSSSSS]

I understand it is being discussed and have had interest for two years.

Didn't we have a go at him last year?

He's a real tough nut.

[SSSSSS]

Didn't one of the ITK suggest the mystery A-grader could play both KPF/KPD.

fits that bill to a tee.

 

[hawkmang]

Don’t do this to me Chubbs

 

[Blackhawk42]

How?

It’s Naughton.

I must have missed any concrete confirmation (at least from a Bigfooty rumour perspective)

All the Naughton talk I saw in here appeared to stem from a very loose connection of dots. Even looser than players following one another on Instagram.

 

[Billyc]

Allen is an absolute gun but that would be even less likely than King

 

[WWSD]

Oscar Allen fits that bill to a tee.

When has Allen played as a defender?

 

[hawkmang]

I reckon Brocky for Allen is about fair, maybe a few picks back our way

 

[hawkmang]

When has Allen played as a defender?

He actually was lining up down back a fair bit this year when McGovern and Barrass were both out. Didn’t do a very good job mind you

I gave a pretty big tip when I wrote that I’m “naught sure who it could be”. Most people picked that up and worked it out.

We’ve also had other posters mention our interest, as other clubs are aware of it.

I’m told Dogs know that they are at risk of losing him next year. They have a couple of players who are looking around.

 

[TheHawkSource]

Welcome brother

There he is. Ty Hombre!

Weird how people are all of the sudden talking about Oscar Allen... Instagram follows... Hmm

That’s what the @LustManager is for.

 

[Franko Armani]

According the tigers page, the Hawks have some interest in Hugo Ralphsmith the son of Hawk Sean Ralphsmith.

HRS apparently can play in the wing / defence. Not sure how he fits in ….. Maybe some one is on their way out.

There’s talk of a player swap Kosi for HRS. Not sure what to think of this info.

Was told about interest/talk a few weeks ago so could be something in this.

 

[SSSSSS]

When has Allen played as a defender?

Played a couple of games in his first few years in defence. Swung back a few times as well.

Mainly played FWD and occasionally as a 2nd Ruck though.

 

[Brant]

Gonna need to see some hypothetical trade scenarios including Brockman, our F1 & Oscar Allen

There is zero chance WCE let Allen go, especially while he's in contract.
