Ultimate Glory 2023 Trade speculation and Shinbeggars discussion

[FB19]

To me we couldn’t lose so let’s move on. If he chose us we get a list need for no draft capital, if he chose the scum he’s definitely not right for us. Give our friend Adrian a final win, despite being the primary reason for no finals wins.

It's money. Plain and simple. Look at our play. We're an up and coming side that looks bloody good.

We're attractive and primed for a tilt.

We're doing this on a shoestring budget with shrewd picks and a great support staff.

It'll come back in spades. I'm 1000% confident that 2024 is the year

Jonah Hill from moneyball would walk out on the spot if he worked for the hawks and we paid Ben McKay that sort of money!!

 

[smish]

Serong > McKay?

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Ok who's next? Miller, Cumberland? Slim pickings now

pursuit, consider this: No one here knows the exact terms that were offered to him by each team.

Maybe Essendon offered more $ or more years. Maybe even despite that, he had still preferred Hawthorn, but Hawthorn had sensible stipulations in the contract regarding performance and games played.

Maybe Essendons management were reckless in what they offered a player with arguably only one decent year of footy to show. Maybe he just wanted to play for his former coach Brad Scott.

It’s ok to be disappointed but it shows poor character to spit the dummy when you don’t know the full story.

Surprised how many in here don’t have faith in the decisions of our recruiting department.

It was already slim pickings. It’s a very poor bunch of names available. The best player that has been mentioned about in trades hypotheticals is Scrimshaw and we would be stupid to move him on.

 

[Fleabane]

Could Oscar Allen be the A-Grader

Started following Hawks players

Don't even start. My heart can't handle it!

 

[Howe Amazing]

Ben Miller for Kosi make it happen #moneyball

 

[burger09]

We will need more patience.

Keep hitting the draft hard until our opportunity for GUN FAs comes around.

We must target the leagues BEST young KPPs now. Even though they might not be available for 2 or 3 years.

Massive money must be banked and offered. But only to genuine stars ala. Lynch or May.

Being pedantic, the A's had to replace the output of Johnny Damon and Jason Giambi with cheaper players. Torturing the analogy somewhat, Ben McKay was our Jason Giambi, because in the end he followed the money and ended up at Essendon. We need our Old Man Justice and Scott Hatteberg to walk through the doors (Jeremy Giambi was not a good signing by the A's).

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

hahaha Kane is a hawk at heart. Loves us

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Kane's bromance with Sam Mitchell continues unabated.

And we will replace McKay with cheaper players. I have faith we'll strike gold

Lost most of his value when he divorced Pia.
