Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

2024 Picks



2025 Picks

If Bailey Smith wants to come to us after all, do we make it happen?

I think so. He's in the perfect age bracket for us - he can contribute straight away and has several years of great footy ahead of him. The real question would be the trade demand from the Doggies.

And whether it impacts us getting other deal(s) done (it shouldn't, but would be a consideration).

I'm here for it. Petracca is GAWN.

#teamTrac

I’m not saying you’re wrong but I’ve got my doubts that they are the same person

 

[Jane Doe]

Who the F is Brett Ernst and why should I care what he posts on X?

Haha I actually used to play cricket against him. Not sure he has a clue. He lives in London now.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Yea he's the type to have a picture of Musk in his wallet. Wouldnt believe a word.

What a campaigner.

Ooof it's a very recent post too.

In 2020-21 this would be extremely embarrassing.

In August 2024 you couldn't waterboard this information out of me.

Blokes like this are always hypocritical flogs too. I bet if he bought a new Tesla he would be changing his underwear multiple times a day with the excitement about telling people about it. But if a woman is excited about a purchase it's 'women be shopping'.

Being that I constantly run out of freezer space I would be bloody stoked to get a new fridge/freezer too.

Was it just me that read the bolded part in Chris Rock's voice

Alot of talk has been about trading out draft pick before Tassie comes in, however people forget that they will also need experienced players so potentially we need to lock in our stars on contracts beyond 2028 so that we don't get raided and get crappy compo for them and have leverage at the trade table. That means front loading and managing big contracts we offer.

So signing all these players and planning for increases of salary for our existing players is vitally important.

Just bought an upright freezer from Aldi
Bloody awesome

I totally stuffed that up and yes Dave (aka Reggie) is who meant and I was only just watching the Nutty Professor the other night

Very important point - need to get as many players as possible locked up beyond Tassie's entry year.

Sam Edmund just on Sen said he'd be absolute staggered if Battle doesn't join.

Just waiting for us to finish our finals runs to announce

Sigh - so we’ve got to wait 5 weeks.

Well you gotta think if we can somehow win the first final, that'll be 3 weeks til the next game. If he hasn't resigned by then, we're on

I just wish he's announce now. Would give us a real boost

 

[Flukey!]

FWIW, both Bucks and Hutchy said on their respective review shows last night that Battle was leaving the Saints.

Not for the player/s that would be worried about there spot next season it wouldn't. There's a reason why these things wait until live teams campaigns are over. If Battle hasn't announced what he's doing this week or next then I think we can start getting confident albeit even without the polo + Kanga statue photo.

 

[triple treat]

Just watched footy classified and if true about Petracca wanting out of the Dees to play in front of bigger crowds and to expand his brand, would he look at the Hawks? With how the young fellas going with all the social media stuff (Hok ball) etc and the fact we pull big crowds when we are up and about!

Any ITK’s heard anything? Think we need some roughandlove!

When O’Meara nominated us just before our finals game against Geelong in 2016, it took away the focus from us, it definitely wasn’t the ideal time, as I think it was an added distraction.

What was this on wouldnt mind a listen

Doubt it would matter, Hawks simply dont have the capital to get it done. Reports yesterday was his agent had been ringing clubs asking if they would be interested and getting a lot of yes absolutely but we dont have the assets

Dees would want two firsts plus someone like Weddle to even turn their heads and obviously Hawks arent doing that

If he turned around and said make me a Hawk I see plenty of ways we could get it done.

Lol. We would want Dees first and petracca and change for Weddle.
