Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

[Judd2Sewell]

Cats are spending their first on Baz. It's locked.

It's been locked in for a while now.

(from what I was told, anyway)

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Missing out on Battle and Smith hurts a little.

Battle - because he's a FA and is a handy player in the right age bracket and offers some flexibility.

Smith - because he's a potential gun, is the perfect age/profile, and (IMO) would fit seamlessly into our midfield/HFF rotation.

Also chosing Geelong over us stings, but they are more desperate than we are. Though it would have been good to get one over them and put a dent in their rebuild on the run plans.

But at the end of our day the development shown by the whole team makes missing out on these two less of a blow than it otherwise could have been. We've shown we can play quality football without them, and we still have lots of improvement and development left (Dear, Ward, Mackenzie, Weddle, etc. are not near their ceilings).

Where’s the story come from that we’ve lost getting Battle?

 

[Ned Ryerson]

If Battle isn’t true first KPD, we have plenty of options already

We really don’t. If Scrimshaw or Sicily copped a long term injury it wouldn’t be pretty.

Feel like dogs would want more than a likely 10-18 for Baz considering they don't have their own first rounder.

Yep, pick mid teens, that could blow out more after father sons and academy, will not get the deal done.

I was told about 12 weeks back he was not coming to Hawthorn from someone fairly well connected.

I may have posted on here from memory and copped a bit of flak so left it alone.

 

[Brant]

Are there any KPD likely to be available this off-season?

Big tall defender who can take a mark would be great

Just need him spoil. Doesn't need to mark it.

Screw the marking, just preventing a forward from just marking over the top of them would be nice.

 

[Dewwwww]

I’d pay 3 first rounder for Barrass after todays game













*not really….but you get what I mean

 

[I got the outside word]

I’m well and truly on team Barrass now. No more fence sitting for this guy.

 

[DrkNyt]

Hope those against trading for Barrass have to come their senses

 

[Hawked Wings]

Remember when most of you guys didn’t want to give up a first rounder for Barrass? Maybe Sam and co know what they are talking about
Also we weren’t winning it this year so just be happy that the hawks are back
Move on to next week

DGB and Ward for Barrass - two first round picks right there

Neither have sufficient collateral.

Get barrass. Tough decisions have to be made to advance and spending first rounders on this guy is essential and was demonstrated today. Even with Blanck in this guy will do wonders

Just get Barrass.

Agreed...was a little tongue in cheek but both aren't working out for us and could be packaged up in a trade potentially

I've been thinking like this the whole time. I have a feeling and I really hope it's Noah Balta. I've watched Richmond games over the last few weeks, he has looked so frustrated and his domina looks like he's checked out. I hope his just waiting to tell the Tiges he wants to head down to the Hawks and be a part of our domination. I would be more than happy to offer a future 1st + 2x second rounders for him. Other than Sam Taylor (who is off the table) he would be the next best pick up for us to complete the puzzle.

Richmond won't give balta unless it's 2 first and a second ... they will come last next year pick 1 and if they lose him pick 2 next year which would be way better then pick 10 and 36

Just reported on 7 that we've told Barrass we're getting Battle and vice versa. If it's true, we must be confident of getting them both.

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

If that didn’t highlight the need for a Barrass type I don’t know what does.
Pay the man whatever he wants.

 

[HR Roughnstuf]

That game showed we need a KPF more than a KPD

I didn’t see this? Did anyone else catch it? I’ve heard from an extremely reliable source that Barrass will be hawk but I’ve heard the opposite on Battle

Would make sense why they’ve followed each other on instagram.
