Big Fish ?...Hawthorn trade news and targets thread(not for trade hypotheticals)

[MrPremiership]

Would imagine their age demographic will drop significantly with Mitch, Priddis and Petrie retiring

Sure will. But if you replace them with 3 draftees then you're going to be off the pace for sometime.

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

WCE nowhere near a flag, but had almost the oldest list going into 2017. Very few if any talented kids coming through, almost time for a rebuild. They need players in Billy's bracket, played 50+ games and on the verge.

Still don't see them swapping Billy for Gaff

They are in a pretty similar position to us to be honest, Im just glad we made (a lot) of hay while the sun was shining.

Kennedy and devon smith most likely going to carltank. Big fishes drying up. Dont mind if we try to trade to get into top end. A Cam Raynor or a Luke Davis Uniacke. Either one would be a good get.

 

[Kuuz]

I'm still trying to understand why people would choose Carlton over Hawthorn...

 

[MasterSamurai]

I am pretty sure hawks didn't even exercise the option of Kennedy, been saying it for a month, he isn't the type, can't play in different positions other than the slow inside mid role, doesn't hurt with his kicking and doesn't even get the ball enough, just because he went at pick 14 doesn't mean jack-shit, waste of a second round pick imo. GWS fans think he's the bees knees yet Leon Cameron preferred his half backs to play inside mid roles instead of giving more games to him.

 

[Billyc]

Why is this Kennedy guy getting discussed in the big fish thread?

 

[tl92]

What do you mean 'at the very least'? You think they'd be likely to get compo that's even better than pick 19?

Gaff is a b&f winner (in a grand final year), all Australian and came 5th in the Brownlow in 2016. He will command a big contract that will likely be first round compensation or end of first round compensation.

This every day of the week. I'm now just starting to accept that no big fish will be coming to Hawthorn this year.

 

[Hawk Hawkins]

You could say we were in Mitch the Sam position as WCE, but we were a little more aggressive a year earlier to avoid the pain they’re about to experience.

 

[Snoref]

I know its un-hawthorn like to be linked to players as we usually stick to the shadows, but seriously would love to see Hawthorn get linked to some players.

C'mon GW give us something

It wouldn’t be a good look if we were openly talking about players currently contracted to other clubs now would it .

Don’t judge a book by its cover.

 

[List Manager]

On Hodge’s retirement come shift to Brisbane...Isn’t that boy Jake Lever touted as a future defensive general?

 

[HawksILove]

I love to get Lever, what a pick up

On SM-T710 using BigFooty.com mobile app

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Lever is as good as gone to Melbourne from pretty much everything I've seen and heard.

Yea not gunna happen. Didn't barrack for the Hawks as a kid!

 

[bradburygold]

I thought this thread was about which big fish would Leave this year? Well we can close the thread now, its hodge.

 

[Brishawk]

But does he have a cousin or a best mate on the list?

 

[HairyO]

Gaff is a b&f winner (in a grand final year), all Australian and came 5th in the Brownlow in 2016. He will command a big contract that will likely be first round compensation or end of first round compensation.

1st round compo will be $1m a year x4 by the end of next year.

 

[List Manager]

And Dusty and Kelly couldn’t knock back the insane money the Kangas were throwing at them either.
Hawks couldn’t get both Tom and Jaeger last year and how many games did Buddy end up playing with GWS after that FA deal was done before the FA and trade periods even started?!

Don’t believe everything (some may say anything) you read in the papers....they are just opinion pieces with no factual statements to support them unless they provide direct quotes from players or player agents.

Did Buddy or Liam Pickering directly state that he would be a Swan at any stage before the deal was done? No, they have since said it couldn’t have been done if the cat was let out of the bag.

Has Lever or his manager directly stated that he is Melbourne bound?

 

[MrPremiership]

1 reason we aren't getting Lever.

Melbourne have offered 5 year deal at $850-900k a season.

Overs.

He let it slip on the footy show

 

[The Kipster]

I wouldn't mind Saad if he became available...his pace would be bloody handy

 

[eldorado]

Jake Lever used to barrack for Lachie Whitfield, and he is Jake Barrett's cousin!

Any news on recent property purchases? If so, which suburb and does he have a car?
