News AFL trade, free agency and draft. "who goes where?" - No freakin' hypotheticals

[Hawthorn United]

Pick 48. We will pick up someone and say "we cant believe he slipped this far down, we honestly rated him a top 10 selection lol.

We aren't lying if we said he was in our top 10 picks. 10 rounds that is.

 

[Baz_hawk]

Interesting move, gotta love them late picks...

 

[Billyc]

Just getting weirder and weirder. Three atrocious trades.

 

[The Lemon]

We are officially a joke

Yep, something is seriously ****ing wrong with the campaigners running the place. We are that ****ing stupid kid in the playground that you can swap a O'Rourke footy card for a Dangerfield Brownlow card

 

[Hawkthorn33]

We are honestly Effed this trade period, if we don't land O'Meara we have stuffed up so bad.

Can't believe Bombers are going to get a second rounder for Hibberd and we get pick 48 and 66

 

[Slick]

We are officially a joke

No we're not.

 

[Pessimistic]

Dangerfield LOL

I heard he goes OK but hes no Stuart Dew

Hawk vice-captain Jordan Lewis is now a Demon.
Hawthorn will receive picks 48 and 66 in exchange for Lewis.

Melbourne will also receive picks 57 and 68.

Hawk coach Alastair Clarkson said:

“Jordan has been a big part of this football club for the last 12 years and he will be sorely missed by the players, coaches and staff.

“He has given great service to the Hawks and his leadership both on and off the field has been invaluable.

“It is never easy to part ways with a champion of the club, but we have got to this point through mature and open conversations with the best interests of both Jordan and the club at heart."

 

[Leather Poisoning]

This is pretty hard to take.

 

[Beandip]

Rough numbers, but between Mitchell and Lewis: 485,000 games of experience, 700 premiership medallions, 690 AA selections, and 145 BnFs.

I'm pleased this netted us picks 88, and pick 64 lol, both of which are rarely used in drafts! I can't believe we acquiesced to the Demons also demanding a pick swap... Jesus.

Well, happy hunting for free agency with our warchest I guess.

 

[threesixpio]

48, 88, and 66 and 10

Vickery, Titch and a stack of cash

hmmm

 

[Cyril_Grip]

Anyone else think we are stockpiling picks to have a go at one of the Academy boys? Would that give us enough points? Would love to see the Swans kick up a stink over losing one of those boys!

 

[MJA33]

I don't see why we wouldn't keep 57 - we are just rolling over and handing out players

 

[Satchel]

I'm not sure this trading period has exactly gone to plan for GW & AC

 

[MJA33]

This is pretty hard to take.

Extremely hard to take -

Not with picks 48, 66, 88

 

[user33]

**** this

 

[Xtreme]

Interesting move, gotta love them late picks...

They might unearth the next.................. Zac Dawson!

 

[Hawk88]

Guys, at least if we don't play well next year we will get a good pick in 2017.

o wait....

 

[MrPremiership]

We need to assess at the end of the trade period to see the entire picture

Club has to do some sort of statement explaining the moves.

 

[threesixpio]

Funny club. I bet we will all be stoked by Thursday. Its as if they enjoy the roller coaster ride. This is the hands in the air going down bit...

 

[Harper_Hawk]

Poor result...we shouldn't have needed to give them any picks. picks 38/56 only coming in...would have been more like it..they've just given this guy a three year contract>>decorated player...for magic beans.

 

[Cyril_Grip]

Not with picks 48, 66, 88

Yeah more wishful thinking than anything else. But there is always a plan with GW.

What? We don't have access to the academy boys. Unless we bid on them with our highest pick, being 48.

We are stockpiling cap space. This is the changing nature of the AFL. No club has done what we are doing currently with trading for cap space.

This happens in the NBA all the time. Very lopsided deals, to free up cap space.

We are clearly going hard at the 2017 Free Agency. We are going to have shit load of cap space.

 

[Hawks_Legendz]

We have completed, the two worst trades in Hawthorn history.

We gave away our top 2 players for a packet of chips.
