Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

[Strapping Young Lad]

2024 Picks



2025 Picks

 

[Sixpence]

How many Hailebury boys now? Macdonald, Scrim and Battle. Anyone else??

Beaumaris Sharks have 3. Mackenzie, Dear and Gunston.

I think there was a third before Battle joined. Mackenzie maybe?

Damn, I was wrong.

I thought he'd wait even longer to announce he was joining us after deciding back in March.

these guys have learnt from Kevin Durant...get in early before the team you're joining becomes the best in the business...that way you dont look like a flag chaser

 

[Alex_au]

We got the coin grabber! Was never in doubt! woohoo

 

[Franko Armani]

Trade week happening in the pre finals bye this year?

Welcome green machine!

Wise to cover the number plate, got to protect his privacy.

A back up ruck, a key forward who won't play all of next season , and a pick around 12-18. Keep dreaming.

It did give me quite a laugh though, so point for that.

Hardwick Barrass Battle
Impey Sicily Amon
Weddle Newcombe D'Ambrosio
Moore Chol Macdonald
Ginnivan Dear Watson

Meek Day Worpel
Mackenzie Nash Scrimshaw Jiath
Breust/Gunston

I'm deadset putting us top 4 in my 2025 ladder prediction.

 

[Big Booty]

We are going to be scarily good next year … not that we are no good this year

Granted this post has since been deleted but wow that’s interesting.

Either he was off the money or the AFL has told him to shut up to protect their secret herbs and spices for compo.

N.B. That was posted 12:32 Perth time btw

 

[excitingnews]

Imagine the buzz going around the club right now, finals berth with no expectations after a predicted bottom 4 season and our 2 major trade targets nominating us a month before the trade period opens. What a f*****g club

 

[Geead]

If we establish a Coleman Medal level Key Forward we are going to be scary good for years (backline & midfield you could say is looking complete).

Whos not to say Chol, Calsher or Lewis (if he can get healthy), even McCabe if he develops nicely, could already be that person in a couple years

 

[marcus1232]

Congrats lads and lasses your getting a ripper.

 

[butlers hawks]

Other boards now desperately flipping the script to “well now their cap is ruined and they will be losing big players in the future”

Going to hate when we fit Perryman, Petracca and Smith in obviously

 

[Dewwwww]

The Barrass Battle combo is going to completely change our side.

Barrass in the goal square
Battle CHB intercepting everything.
Sicily free to do whatever he likes.
Weddle able to move up the field.

Plus we now have Battle / Hardwick / Sicily / Weddle as genuine swingmen to swap forward / back when required.

12 months is a long time in football. Go from missing out on 2 B graders (McKay / Rat) to bringing in 2 A graders instead

 

[Flukey!]

Barass?
Battle?

 

[MitchHomieQuan]

Flags OTW.

Would this indicate the price is less than the speculated inflated figure.

More likely to be in the 7-8 per season ?

 

[Hrvat Hawks]

Not gonna happen

Can't believe some peoples lack of humour in this thread...

 

[matey]

Some lack of respect going on towards Frosty I feel …… it’s like he’ll play out his final days for BH already. He has changed his game and been brilliant for us this year.

I reckon getting Barrass and Battle will release Weds and Siss to other roles/areas of the ground giving Mitch and the coaches a lot more flexibility. Siss could also be utilised as a third tall Gunners replacement at times

 

[DrkNyt]

Welcome Josh! The Brown and Gold will look beautiful on you again

 

[KermitJagger]

You can just tell this is gonna be a massive off season for trading. It's a perfect storm of a highly rated draft that clubs want to capitalise on and a number of exciting players available.

Along with our acqusitions, if Freo can land even a couple of Bolton, Pickett, Warner there are going to be some much stronger sides next year.

[Geead]

Yeah nah, just a realist. How often do we see these things backfire? I remember when one B Franklin was ‘dead set’ going to the Giants….

Yeah but did Buddy ever nominate a GWS trade request? Both Barrass & Battle have nominated Hawthorn as club of choice
