Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

[Leather Poisoning]

Just hear me out! A stop gap style 1 year contract offer to Tom Hawkins to fill the role until Lewis is back and ready.

At the same time we get payback over those bloody cats for stealing Isaac Smith. We also get Hawk Hawkins!

Time for bed grandpa

Premierships are the ultimate goal for players and fans but money is the ultimate success for a business. So just because a club may be lacking in premiership flags doesn’t mean they are not a successful business/club! Anyway stupid thing to be arguing about in this thread so I’ll leave it there!

Clubs are businesses but not like private business

They are effectively a collective of members and exist only to win premierships not participation awards

The only thing they have to ensure from a business pov is not succumb to debt, and provide resources to achieve success

I would rather be like hawthorn and win a premiership or 2 or 3 every decade than be like the Adelaide crows who are much stronger financially yet still fail to deliver.

Go hawks and let’s break the drought and win it next year

Come on.

I take it you like your steak burnt to a crisp.

Simply no.

Bad example. The Crows are not financially stronger than Hawthorn - in fact they are not even in the top 4 clubs in the league (unlike Hawthorn)

No ty

 

[I got the outside word]

If you think about it , it's not a surprise that the Dogs would like to get a high value trade for JUH

• Naughton on a long term contract who can play forward/back
• Darcy looks an absolute star and game changer
• JUH is probably the least safe bet of the 3 , especially if the off field stuff has wheels .

Most teams are going for versatile forwardlines .
Dogs need a mid to help Bont so the excess tall forward can be used to get that .

I think if a club can provide a high quality mid in their prime or coming in too it, with a high pick I think they would do it .

They done a similar thing when they split up their ‘rat pack’, kept the most likely in Libba and sent the other two off.

I don't want him, purely based on his face.
But the melts down at Geelong would be a thing of beauty. I would love to see Chris Scott after Hawkins kicks a bag and we win by a goal in a preliminary. Scott would surly become Australia's new face for mental health issues.

Lukosius chose Port.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Lukosius chose Port.

Always knew he was a dog

 

[butlers hawks]

wonder if the Lukosuis money will push Perryman towards Collingwood now

 

[TazHawk15]

Lukosius chose Port.

He can join the other Port player that wears a seat belt when sitting on his sofa.

 

[libbylou]

Isn't Lukosius from South Australia?
If so no surprise he wants to go home.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Amusing that the Suns drafted Rankine and Lukosius together because it would stop the go-home factor and they'll end up both going back home to Adelaide. Gold Coast player retention just crushing it as always.

Well that was the reasoning behind Anderson and Rowell, time will tell how that one pans out.

I mean when you piss away that many first round draft picks a couple of them have to stick eventually.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I’d rather trade Serong than Frost.

 

[SSSSSS]

I’d rather trade Serong than Frost.

Same.

I'm not sold on Serong yet. Haven't really seen anything that stands out as a point of difference for him at AFL level. In fairness to him he hasn't had much opportunity.

 

[TylerDurden]

We may be looking to extend Frost.

 

[butlers hawks]

We may be looking to extend Frost.

would be in a direct response to teams coming surely

 

[cryptor]

Good for him. Deserves it.

 

[butlers hawks]

but he said he was staying? lol

Ken laid down the law. You are either with us or against us.

..and Dan chose wisely..

 

[2008wasoverDEW!]

Football clubs will always have the upper hand with contracted players, only following through with a player's trade request if they are adequately compensated.

In 2019, Tom Papley requested a trade to Carlton. Sydney refused to budge an inch, and Papley stayed.
