Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

2024 Picks



2025 Picks

 

[Ned Ryerson]

In my opinion, these would be the pick ranges IF there were clubs interested.

Reeves 35-40
Mitchell 40-45
Maginness 25-30
DGB 30-35
Serong 30-35

I think with VFL form Serong could command a lot more than DGB. Being pick 6 in the 2020 draft of all drafts will hardly ramp up his asking price.

Reckon Reeves could command a second rounder definitely

 

[Back Pocket Rocket]

Serong to get BOG and then declare make me a saint. They hand over their 1st pick

 

[Blackhawk42]

CJ didn't miss finals selection, he was in the side then went out injured. He needed to prove his fitness to be selected for elimination final and failed to show it at box hill.

He is not currently at the required fitness levels due to the injury.

The CJ discussion is such an interesting one.

I was one of the posters who preferred Morrison over him all season, however I also thought Jiath played some solid games and appeared to be growing into his new wing position.

Once he went out and Morrison played that belter against Carlton, I realised I was right in the beginning.

No surprises that we went with Harry on Friday night and he performed strongly to justify it.

HOWEVER, I believe Sam and the coaching crew probably prefer CJ, and had he played in round 24 and likely would have been selected before Morrison.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

I still think Campbell could probably be a fair player but he's been fairly average this year. Great last quarter against GWS but coming on fresh in the hardest running final of the weekend it's probably to be expected that he'd have an impact, still yet to see him have a noteworthy full game.

When you have guys like Gulden taking up a wing spot he will always find it hard to cement a spot there. Would not be surprised if next year he is in and out of the team and he asks to be traded. Would be all over him as a club. Perfectly compliments Mass on the other side and we would have 3 clones of great kicking left footers with Amon.

 

[FB19]

Wouldn’t you assume that if we were paying someone that much then they are more then likely seen to be ahead of a few in the pecking order, rather than just depth.

Yes absolutely at that price they have to be. I’m just saying as a player and also looking at our list I am not convinced that’s true for Perryman in the same way that I am about Barrass and Battle.

has nominated Hawthorn as his preferred destination" Don't know how we'd fit him into the team / whether it's worth taking on his likely high-end salary, but would be hilarious.

 

[VandoHawk]

In my opinion, these would be the pick ranges IF there were clubs interested.

Reeves 35-40
Mitchell 40-45
Maginness 25-30
DGB 30-35
Serong 30-35

Reeves second.
DGB much, much less.

Rest of the comp seeing Hawthorn back to winning finals & having players nominate us on demand, after only a few years:

 

[TeamPlayer23]

Someone may express interest, but I am inclined to keep Butsy.

Chad has retired and you would think next year will definitely be Punky’s last.

Josh Bennett's as a Breust replacement making his debut and playing a few games in 2025. before taking over in 2026 in the seniors.
Jai Serong as a Gunston replacement playing a few more game's in 2025- and taking over Gunstons role in 2026.

Despite not yet making his AFL debut, Josh Bennetts is among the Hawks' most exciting prospects, has been lively up forward across his 2023-2024 season. Praised by his coaches as a reliable teammate he has impressed with his clean hands, class and decision making.

 

[MazHawk]

Reeves 35-40
Mitchell 40-45
Maginness 25-30
DGB 30-35
Serong 30-35

I think you're way out.
Depending on the clubs that come calling Ned would be a 2nd or even a late 1st. Ruckman who've been in the system are a commodity.
Serong we wouldn't let go for less than a 2nd and Shammy would be in the 30's.
DGB would get us a 5th if we were extremely lucky.

I feel like you are both way out on Reeves. Grundy went for a pick in the 30s and although older he’s much better. 3rd rounder at best. Seamus won’t be let go I wouldn’t think and Serong they have to find a spot or let him go he’s be playing regular afl at a few clubs. DGB will go to the eagles one way or another despite what they say and it will be for little to nothing. It’s in everyone’s best interest a fresh start may be his last chance to address what is holding him back and with barrass and battle he’s like 9th in line.

A late first for Noodle! Where do I sign

Reeves 35-40
Mitchell 40-45
Maginness 25-30
DGB 30-35
Serong 30-35

As a ruckman, Reeves' value is the greatest of those. A decent second rounder: 25-35.

Serong and Finn later second rounders; Mitchell and DGB worth next to nothing as trades. The latter might be picked up on a rookie list if delisted but that's it.

 

[hfc70]

Fair suck of the Sav

We need to leave some players for the rest of the competition. We can't have everyone.

 

[TazHawk15]

On the dotted line but also tell us who plays if Meek goes down.

 

[BIGHAWK23]

On the dotted line but also tell us who plays if Meek goes down.

Ramsden/Chol

Could sign a journeyman easily enough

 

[flamin_heck]

On the dotted line but also tell us who plays if Meek goes down.

Ramsden, not the tap ruckman Reeves is but far better around the ball. I think he’s exactly what Sam wants- mobile players that can play multiple positions

 

[Hawkers Hero]

I'm no expert but I presume a big part of pick 30 for Grundy was getting his salary off the books?

Why would he be in and out of the side? He's played 21 games this year.

I don't mind Campbell but Swans would want too much for him.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

On the dotted line but also tell us who plays if Meek goes down.

There are a couple of rucks on the merry go round this year.

Getting another in to back up Meek won’t be too hard if we choose to go down the path of releasing Noodle.

Who are you liking in that market SYL? Hypothetically.

Could easily get Soldo if Reeves were to leave. He would be my main target as a backup to Meek.

He was one of those I was thinking of.

 

[PenAndPaper]

Can't see Soldo leaving to be a backup again. He will want to go somewhere to be the #1. His whole move to Port was to be their #1 as they didn't have a ruck, then they get Sweet as well.
