Dont mind the addition at all. Its the price that i think it would have to be to make it happen.

A future 2nd will be the highest we go, I’m more than okay with that. Apparently the first offer will be 3rd which will set off the fireworks between McCartney and Dodoro.

Sauce?

 

[andleanback]

Sauce?

 

[Duckworth]

Not sure if this is allowed, but could we pay some of Lobbs contract for a year, if it gets Hill across the line cheaper?

 

[Thom18]

Surely Hill + pick 53 for Future 2nd makes sense.

We can then look at sending 51, 53 and 56 for a second-round pick. Perhaps 27 from Collingwood?

 

[Bunk Moreland]

This kid any good?

 

[Lore]

Great so we’re up to McCartney vs Dodoro 4.0

I'd rather get a F3, and they'd prefer that to 52 as well.

Hopefully Mahoney steps in for this one

 

[Steve94]

Might also be able to take those picks into the draft and trade with Saints to upgrade that F3 to an F2

 

[JT_the_Man]

Has Dodoro ever lost to this bloke?

 

[eth-dog]

Has Dodoro ever lost to this bloke?

Shiel.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Shiel.

Thought so, I couldn’t recall if that one was McCartney or not.

Still won big with Stringer and (early days) look to have won with Caldwell.

 

[TheFrenchCut]

Hill's GWS contract being close to 400k next year is insane.

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

If I was us, I'd be trying to use next years future second with 1, possibly 2 picks in the back end (r3,r4) of the draft coming back to us.

Give up a second but get back points for davey twins. Keep first for flexibility.

 

[MiguelM]

It’s still an area of the list we have no depth in at all. The price of Hill would sway my mind if it’s a future 3rd (assuming hes getting 3 years) and Stengle would be on a 1 year deal. So he could be off the list this time next year. How good are the Davey twins? Do they help immediately or are they 2 we will be developing over the next 2-3 year’s? Tippa will be 29 next year so I think it’s an area we probably need to look into.

Agreed, Davey twins 2 years away from meaningful impact IMO.

Need speed in the forward line to compliment Walla ASAP.

 

[Hamez]

Great so we’re up to McCartney vs Dodoro 4.0

Click bait headlines have begun.

 

[The Airing of Grievances]

Serious question:

Who on Hawthorn's list would you give up a first rounder for if they were willing to trade anyone?

- Grainger-Barass

And maybe

- Tom Mitchell
- James Sicily

That's it. ONE player on a playing list of 40 or more players. One.

They ******* suck. Their list is shithouse.

And it's not a 'I hate Hawthorn' thing either.

Take Carlton (whom I despise). Who would you give up a first for?

- Weitering
- McKay
- Walsh

******* run at me boncer34

If the option had come up, wouldn't we have given our #11 this year for Cerra- so him too.

 

[The Airing of Grievances]

Tiitch no chance unless you were squarely in a window.
i.e. the Dees or Port might look at that option with late 1st rd picks.
Sicily has missed a lot of footy to hand a 1st rounder over for.

I think Sicily would be worth a first. But remembering the Mark Williams fiasco, I'd want a rigorous medical inspection by a top rate orthopod, and with our assessor having access to the treating medico's file.

Click bait headlines have begun.

And the nuffies will take the bait hook line and sinker, while doing mental gymnastics to make out Dodoro as some horrid boogeyman who everyone in the industry hates. So many people dont understand how negotiating works, its comical.

 

[Howard Moon]

So in that draft gws drafted:

11 Caldwell - ess.
14 Hatley - ade.
22 O'Halloran -gws
24 Hill - ess.

He's doing ok for us old mate McCartney

 

[The Airing of Grievances]

Hill is an "almost" player. Doesn't quite put enough pressure on, doesn't quite kick enough goals, doesn't quite find the ball enough. However if Stengle chooses Geelong (which seems the more likely option) he'd fill that role.

I'm wondering if we're having a word to Sam Wicks.

That is certainly my impression of Hill. Don't see where he adds much . And what is the basis of the 'compassionate grounds"? He was drafted from Perth FC IIRC.

 

[Keystone agony]

Shiel.

That was xavier who lost that one, he over rid the great dodo

 

[eth-dog]

Brad Hill, Sydney Stack and Courtney Ugle all live in Melbourne (his cousins).

 

[Keystone agony]

Future 3rd get it done dodo

We can also add pick 87
