Ultimate Glory 2023 Trade speculation and Shinbeggars discussion

[Faraway Hawk]

To be fair to MM...he is keeping us all on the edge of our seats with the limited resources we have to wheel and deal. I popped to the Norf board and they are discussing whether Australia is part of Eurovision or not with 1500 first rounders at their disposal to wheel and deal.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

I really don't know what you want or expect.

Go watch a movie if you're bored.

This thread is like hearing "Just kick the bloody thing, hawthorn...Awww, who was that to??" every week at the footy

No need to be rash.

It’s around this time I kind of miss the bellend behind me yelling ‘KICK IT FORWARD!!’ when we are trying to switch it.

 

[G0ats]

That tweet is worded so poorly.

 

[FB19]

I'm hearing Tim O Brien in.

Only if he and Emily Bates are having kids and we need to get him to Father Son eligibility…

 

[kenneje]

That tweet is worded so poorly.

Not an official account, it's just some journalist student.

Glad he's still studying because you're right, makes very little sense haha.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Rebuff means we need to come back to them with something more substantial.

That's exactly what it's saying. I'm not sure why more people aren't seeing that.

Just do it for the future third and get it over with.

People know what it means they’re just making fun of how bloody badly it’s worded.

If I say ‘me drink want’ - you’ll know what I mean but also wonder if English is my first language.

Americans have been getting away with thinking English is their first language for, well, forever.

So

Chol - we're saying future third (and someting later back) or we're out - i like it
D'Ambrosio - it gets done for something very late, hasn't really even been discussed but will happen late for nothing

Kosi - we're staying strong for an unlikely 2nd, but ultimately likely take a 3rd
Brockman - we're trying to make the best of a bad situation, Freo interest may be helpful


I'd say MM is doing ok. And who knows what else is going on in the background....

Patience.

If we really play hardball, there is a possibility that neither the Chol nor the Kosi deals get done, leaving Kosi to continue his fwd/ruck role at which he was showing some promising signs late in the season.

If that were to transpire and assuming Kosi is happy with a revised contract offer, it might not be a bad result. After all, Kosi is three years younger - and perhaps has more scope for improvement - than Chol.

I often say ‘me drink want’ by the end of a Friday.

Similarly, I would love to see Port play hardball with Geelong. Perhaps if none of Chol, E-Rat and Kosi get traded, we can see the end of this overpaying insanity.

 

[butlers hawks]

That tweet is worded so poorly.

and the article says that Gold Coast has turned down the Hawks offer and they will have to upgrade their offer not that Hawthorn are walking away

 

[Colloquy]

Anyone else just reached the point where they skip to the last page if they have been away for a few hours to get the vibe of the thread and decide if it is worth going back through?

Yep

 

[CHUBBSS]

The best part of the it’s happening man is he is a genuine curse, every time he pops up nothing happens

 

[eldorado]

Maybe he didn't mean 'rebuff' OR 'rescind'?

Maybe he meany 'rejig' or 'reassess'?

The language is so poor the meaning cannot even be inferred...

Nah, pretty sure he just invented a new word.

Buff - as in to polish up
Rebuff - new word as in to go back and polish again.

I'm very fluent in gibberish

 

[killerspud]

Not studying English, obviously...

No, an exchange student from Chad - still more coherent than most of the football media

 

[Colloquy]

He was just letting everyone know that they should put their seatbelts on when they drive to work.

Yep safety first

 

[Hodginator]

I just skipped about 25 pages of this thread and it was liberating.

You missed nothing

The experience is not nothing. Even nothing is something

Wouldn’t stress about McKercher being midfield overkill.

If we drafted him at 4, he’d be the most prodigal pure midfield talent we’d drafted since idk, Xavier Ellis (haha).

It’s up to the rest of the team to step up, because this kid is a freak and he’d be coming for EVERYONES midfield minutes at a significant rate of knots.

Respect please - and you a so-called Hawthorn supporter?

Xavier Ellis had the most possessions of any Hawthorn player in the 2008 GF, he played a magnificent game and, but for Luke Hodge, would probably have been awarded the Norm Smith.

Yeah, it's about the friendships we make on the way, and at the end of the day isn't that the real trade period?
