Bit surprised there hasnt been more talk about guys being linked to North Melbourne.
AFL have given the old "hint hint" that they should be trading the end of first picks next year and there's been no word at all about them trading them.
Stephens and Fisher been linked but their offers on them been laughable

Oh I am all for trying our luck, don't get me wrong. But as I have said a few times now - the Tigers were the recipients of the Shinbeggars overpaying for CCJ so they'll know that paying a second rounder for Kosi is pretty daft.

Umm, how.. if 2& 3 is overs... then the next best offer can't be bigger than this.
so 4+single player is the next best offer if Eagles can persuade such a player & we are fine with losing.

Yep we are cooking the Wiz.
Especially with Bruest in the twilight of his career, but think how good it would be for the Wiz to be mentored by him.
How many west Australians have wanted to leave apart from Brockman?

It was an absolute pipe dream to expect that we were going to get a pick in the twenties for Kossy.
I mean this is a guy who played half the year in the VFL (in a team that was desperate for key forwards), was probably 50/50 to get cut at the end of the year and to top it off we (allegedly) offered him a princely one year contract of $150k a year (less than half the average AFL wage). The Tiges could point to all this and rightly tell us to get stuffed if we asked for a second rounder.
We do have a very unfortunate tendency of driving down the market value of our players before we trade them (look at Mitchell last year being played out of position). Time for our list managers and coaching staff to do a crash course in marketing and price setting I think!

Our list management crew
I hope they at least get a good belly rub when they roll over!
Always had the feeling Brockman would ask for a trade early on.
Watson has been on our radar for a while, l think he trained with that Hawks during pre season so they would have a very good indication of his talent.
Indeed, there is 0% chance the Eagles trade pick 1 without bringing in a pick that guarantees them Curtin.
Question for everyone saying that we should make a stand on these players
Is is possible that we as supporters value our players higher than the average non Hawthorn supporter?
When the news broke about Kosi wanting to go to Richmond my initial thought was well that will be a fourth rounder.
I have a theory that holds me in good stead every year and it is whatever you think a guy is worth, add a round to it and thats where it generally lands
So people thinking player x is worth a second round pick he will go for a third rounder etc
As a result of that I have thought this whole time that Brockman would go for at best a third rounder. The fact the PSD is a tool for West Coast makes it a tough pill but one the club will likely swallow
If North flat refuse to deal on pick 2 and 3, they have no chance of getting pick 1, and we could possibly come back into play.

Basically washing their future compensation picks so they can't be reviewed. Was always the obvious thing to do.
If l was him l would definitely want to be playing alongside Breust. Easily the most underated player in the AFL.
To develop your forward craft under him would be massive for a young player.
