Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

[Rioli magic]

Yep agree need a centre square mid with genuine speed. I reckon we need another gun winger too.

I’d push Weddle up on the opposite wing of Massimo, with Barrass and Battle coming in down back.

Obviously he has the athletic requirements to play anywhere really.

Pushing back as the defensive winger he’s a perfect profile to offer protection (big, small, 3rd man up) and is obviously comfortable playing there. Pushing forward and taking a “traditional” winger with him would also be a favorable matchup and could cause havoc.

Kind of like a Mason Wood style winger rather than an Ed Langdon type. Would provide another outlet option coming out of defense too.

I don’t think Weddle can play inside mid but I’d love to trial him on a wing.

Sicily, Scrimshaw, Battle, Amon, Dimma would be the best offensive backline in the league, with Weddle and Massimo pushing back as support and Barrass taking the monster.

Did you not see the Ginni text

No, what did he say?

 

[hawkmang]

I reckon if Serong leaves it will be the equivalent of Massimo when he came to us, will be a star somewhere else

 

[Topiary]

I have said this before…….if Port and Hinkley need the motivation from what Ginni posted, they are in BIG trouble. And by the way, look out next time.

A sequel to the line in the sand.

A sequel to the line in the sand.

In your best movie trailer VoiceOver artist voice:

In 2004, there was the Line in the Sand match.

Now, over 20 years later, get ready for the... Comment on the Tweet match.

The next Hawks v Port Game could be a real Flight in the Sand game.

Just don't see it with Serong.

I'd "cash in" on him now. We've got plenty of cover and about to bring in Barrass and Battle. McCabe will also get there.

Petracca and his family are really leaning on AFLPA.

 

[hfc70]

Petracca would be a welcome addition to the Hawks in 2025

Wait for him to pass as a Free Agent, then over-pay in Picks + Cash?

Sainters gonna Saint

Be funny if Merrett really did crack the sads about Stringer and wants out.

 

[I got the outside word]

For Merrett, going to St. Kilda is out of the frying pan and into the fire, for anyone who doesn’t support * watching them lose their captain is glorious.

 

[cryptor]

Bold to think anyone would want to join them, let alone the captain of another club.

 

[burger09]

Something tells me this click bait ain't gunna eventuate.

 

[Chubbs25]

Serong also offers some flexibility. You couldn’t have Blanck and Barrass in the same side, nor Blanck and Frost. His only spot is as the low possession full back.

I think you need one of frost or blanck with Barrass imo. Dunno how you fit them all in but barrass would be better as the 2nd tall.

 

[CobberRodgers]

Peak Essendon though.

Scott comes in and tries to change the losing culture of the place. Captain doesn’t like it (despite continuously saying they want to win finals and be better) and leaves.

It would be hard to swallow as a supporter but if I followed the Bombers I’d at least be happy with Scott trying to trim their soft edges.

Nothing changes if nothing changes.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Zerrett was considering leaving a few years ago due to the culture issues at Essendon, of which Stringer was a contributor. I can't see him now wanting to leave because they won't extend Stringer, that would be a complete 180.

Agree with this. Yet apparently he wasn't happy with decision to not extend Stringer and made his displeasure known to Scott. So it would seem a complete 180 has happened
