GW also said in that interview we were only going to take 3 in the draft....so 43, 67, 81

Does that mean we're planning on putting quite a few on the rookie list? Also only mentioned 4 uncontracted....does that imply Willsmore is done?

Hodge/Gibbo out, Impey in, plus being 1 short on the main list already....we need to delist 2 of "the 4"....but we have 2 rookie spots open with Surman and Fitzy gone.

Also said pick 12 was offered (must have been crows or lions) for our 2018 first. Wright said next years draft is better

said two or three of the four current out of contract players will 'survive'

cant see us pick up other clubs discards
 
I like the current 2018 FA Pool!

Some good names there. Wouldn't mind Brodie Smith.

So at this stage on the senior list we have
In-Impey
Out-Hodge and Gibson
Assuming Billy stays I think Willsmore and Stewart will be delisted to allow us 3 picks at the draft.
I'd be offering the other OOC players 1 year deals and if they don't improve they will make for easy delistings before the stronger draft next year.
Wouldn't surprise if Billy went to Brisbane or West Coast as a DFA...however my understanding is he can't do that if we offer him a contract, but he'd still have the option of the pre season draft.
 
So the result of this 318 page big fish thread is Impey. Probably not what everyone had in mind over the last few months.

Hehehe it’s almost amusing. What a waste of energy. I wonder how many of us will learn from this when it comes to speculating about 2018’s “big fish”. If I had to bet I would say roughly none. Ahhh it’s emotionally draining being a Hawthorn supporter. I’m going to go and take a lie down and do some thinking about where my life’s at.

...... Immediately goes to the “2018 Hawthorn war-chest” thread.

What shall we call it in 2019?

Next year might even have live pick trades during the draft. HECTIC!

Clarko and Wrighty should be going to talk to some NBA/NFL GMs and their staff to discuss strategies for this.
 
Will be interesting if they have "war rooms" set up at each club hq to work out these complex trades or if they make them work it out in the mess hall like currently
I imagine they get worked out at smoke-filled speakeasies full of underworld figures and corporate heavy weights.
