Rioli, yes. His type are a dime a dozen and you could replace them with a late 3rd rounder or early 4th rounder no problems.
Ozzie, no. I am actually hoping the club signs him for a further 3-4 years because he has plenty of good footy left in him.
Coons wont be at Hawks. Very good rumour for Coons as he is about to negotiate a new deal.
Fingers crossed we get Billy Longer from the Lions and a couple of young quick mids that can re-energise a midfield that has maximum 1 season left.
Forget Ellis being apart of any trade. That horse bolted 3 years ago when we should of pulled the trigger.

Longer is a good potential ruckman, so wouldn't mind it ( don't care if it never happens either )
I'd be staggered if anyone expects Ellis to attract trade interest from rivals, notwithstanding he's uncontracted next year!

Nah, he's going to resign at the end of the year, that means Lakeys got 5 weeks to work his magic on Coondog, Doggies expect to much out of him

I can't imagine we'd get Cooney... can't dream how we could possibly offer him more than the dogs would be prepared to pay so a trade would have to happen.
If we could afford him in the salary cap and the Dogs were happy with our first round pick then I'd be all over it

Well if Hawks & Dogs start talking about trades early it may end up Doggies might want to let Cooney go through FA, cause I can't see a trade done... Hawks interested in Taylor Adams also

Cooney is great player, but he is ageing with dodgy knees.
Would rather they trade for some young midfielders from GWS or Gold Coast. If they don't regenerate the midfield in this draft, there have'nt got long left as a premiership contender.

There's 2ways of going about it
Regenerate with kids, and have them for 8 years, but maybe drop a little as kids need to mature
Or
Top up with experienced proven talent, but only have them for 2 years before retirement
There's a risk and a reward in doing either

Or we could do both, as such as sign Cooney as a FA then get a trade done for Taylor Adams, be more creative & you would have figured that out
Steven Tyler
Brownlow Medallist
Yes you are right
But I never said we couldn't do both (should have)
That would be a perfect scenario
The key here is if buddy stays or goes, and or if Cooney is restricted or unristricted.
If he's restricted then the bulldogs will and can match any offer we put on the table, which most likely wont be high.
I don't see why we can't go down the Geelong path, they have been playing there youth for the past 2 years, whilst also adding to its list by trading for players with already 2 to 3 years development in them. We have 3 players in our rerserves frothing at the mouth for game time Hallahan Anderson Langford on top of that adding an Adams type, We can still challenge blending in youth with Hodge Mitchell and Burgoyne as our main stayers. Sewell is cooked and we have too many of the same type of midfielder compared to Geelongs veterans. One has to go.
Geelong has a midfield core of verterans Corey Johnson Kelly Bartel, Selwood in the middle aged bracket and then a core of youngsters

If Adam Cooney really wanted to come to Hawthorn... I think the Hawks & Dogs should sit down first to discuss it & see how to go about it. If they can't sought out a trade... then I don't believe Doggies would hold Cooney back if he decides that he doesn't want to stay there.
I would take our first rounder off the table & set that aside for Taylor Adams...

Good old Bigfooty mentality. Where being young is more important than being good.
Everyone was bagging the idea of Lake last year also, he has proven to be instrumental to our team this year. Even on a weekend where most of our players were poor, he can hold his head high. I suspect that Cooney would provide a lot of class to our midfield. If we can get him relatively cheap, we definitely should go after him.
What do your reckon he would be asking money wise ? 450 - 650K ? Don't think we can afford that either way? Its up to him if he wants to leave for less money....don't think he will, its probably his last contract.
The bulldogs will let him go and not match a high price because he may fall in the tier 1 category.....it would be Pick 5 for them. I would let Cooney go in a heartbeat for that pick. Its probably what they want all along.....because they wont get that pick in a trade.

If Cooney wants finals, He'll play for less
If they can get pick 5 as a result of him leaving, they'd be crazy not to let him go. I just hope it's not us that he come to.
How are we gonna get pick 5?
The free agency system is ret*rded, no offence to the reta*ded people of this world.
Pick 5 for Cooney potentially or pick 18/19 or 20 for Franklin.
Franklin without a shadow of a doubt is the better player and will get the higher pay packet but Cooney will end up getting the club better compensation just because of the fact, his club finished lower.....Why should a club be penalized compensation based on where they finished on the ladder. It should be solely based on the player and his paypacket. I feel like punching these pricks in the face.

We're not. I was replying to Dipper and his comments about the Dogs receiving pick 5 (I'm assuming) from the AFL if Cooney left. Although I'm not sure how that works.
Ahhhh gotcha now.

Also if Cooney is band 1 FA compo, that'll be better than any trade we can arrange as the compo will be pick 5 (after dogs 1st draft pick, or 6 if demons get a 1st round PP). So they may agree to allow him to go FA without much of a fight.
