Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

[TONYC3163]

I feel like if you're not interested in that kind of post the easiest thing to do would be to ignore them or not engage with them- it feels like the cryptic ones are easily the most popular in this thread, though and a lot of us engage with them!

I also imagine that our ITKs are connected to the club in some way and because of that they don't want to be directly posting "so and so has had a conversation with such and such about player X"

Yep, no wonder ITK don’t post much info, with reactions like this.

In the last 10 years I never seen a normal reaction to any trade ever. Always odd

For all the potential acquisitions.....we're very light on list spots.

Can only think Wingard comes off the main list, Battle gets added. Stephens and Tucker were rookies.

So, we're at maximum on main list and 1 over rookie list with Phillips/Scaife later additions, right?

Morrison rightfully got his extension, but now if we add Barrass and take a couple of draftees....we're going to need to move on some LISTED players, not just rookies

Wasn’t Wingard on the rookie list?

 

[Hawkers Hero]

Might we see one or two 30+yr old rookies on our list next year?

Or with Punky and Gunner having signed contracts is that not possible now?

Nope they were going to take him as a rookie but took him in PSD instead

Nope need to go through the rookie draft to be rookies

 

[Bugs1977]

With Frost staying then all signs would point to DGB not being on the list come next season. I really hope he makes but I just can't see it in Hawthorn colours.

 

[grumbleguts]

heck, must be nice being Essendon right now, knowing saints will take 2 absolute duds off the table before you have to take your first pick

The sad thing is, they wouldn't have been duds until they entered St Begga's system.

 

[Tall Tales and True]

If we shift a couple to the rookie list (say, Butler, DGB), 'axe' somebody on the margins (e.g. O'Sullivan) and let go of Phillips as the extra, does that mean - w the addition of Battle & Barrass - we have 2 spots in the ND? (Perhaps the 'Beast from the East' + one.)

Hi guys, it's been a while! I have awoken from hibernation just in time for the trade and draft period.. lol.

Anyways, will Battle & Barrass be the only new players on our list for 2025? Or will we pick up someone else at the end of the draft as well? Any update on Ned Maginness?

If WC ask more for Barrass, I'd honestly just throw DGB in there and do a pick swap of later selections. We've just added two key defenders on top of Frosty, Sis, Scrimma, Blanck, Phillips, and McCabe. There's no reason we should be keeping him on our list and, as I've said before, he's not a forward. Let him go before his value is nothing.

Dylan Moore is a product of our long rope

I’d say it’s more telling of some of the fat on some lists, and how competitive our stocks are atm

Jiath and Nash too

Too late.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Jacob Konstanty was a player I really liked in his draft year. Massive pressure small forward. Out of favour at the Swans with some indifferent VFL form combined with injuries. Allegedly Longmire doesn't like him either.

For a late pick, or as a delisted free agent, he could be a worthwhile acquisition.

Agree with that. Hope we look at this.

It's looking very dicey for DGB, list spots will be so super tight for next year.

 

[Dewnior]

You have a post from rei154 above who took it the complete opposite to how you did. That in itself is proof that more context was needed.

Burton was neither liked nor overly needed. Not even remotely the same scenario as Lewis.

Context comes later. It's entirely possible that providing further info to a social forum jeopardised the clubs negotiation position.

It's also entirely possible that RnL is a club plant and the posts are designed to gauge the attractiveness of a trade from the masses

Kieran Lovell. First rounder.

He had 3 seasons, 2015 draft and delisted at end of 2018.

Only 4 cm taller than the Wiz

Delisted: Popular Hawk Brendan Whitecross, young midfielder Kieran Lovell cut from club

One of footy’s hard luck stories delisted as Hawks finalise changes

Take your pick

Grainger barass
Phillips
Bailey mac (contracted but we can pay out )
O sullivan
Bennetts
Butler

4 from these 6 can go

We won't delist contracted players. Butler still has time left to run too.

I could be wrong but the only way I can see him staying on our list is if Serong is traded

 

[KermitJagger]

6 year thumper.

Max King still has a lot of promise but his last 2 seasons have netted the Saints 23 games for 45 goals. I struggle to understand what warrants a 6-7 year deal these days.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Personally I think his best shot at making a career in the AFL will be to get traded to the Eagles as part of the Barrass deal.

I just can't see a spot for him in the Hawks given we will be getting Battle and Barrass. He will be so far down the pecking order for a spot in the backline when that happens.

Keeping DGB and trading Serong would be list management malpractice.

 

[Bugs1977]

Keeping DGB and trading Serong would be list management malpractice.

At this stage of their careers if you're choosing between the two then I agree but that doesn't mean that Serong isn't moved due to the lack of opportunities with Battle + Barrass coming in. We'd be silly to think that other clubs aren't enquiring about him especially with Frosty now staying. DGB on the other hand is a player that clubs will wait to see if we delist and then take a flyer on him.
