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

[wizzard400]

While I wouldn't say no to Dutsy, I feel like we're lining up to pull the rug out from under St Kilda and Carlton and snare Fyfe à la what we almost did with Carlisle

 

[OzJohnnie]

Last year our master stroke was to devalue players to the ultimate.

Pick 88 for Sam Mitchell has reconfigured what players are worth - a year before we start trading aggressively for new players.

That thought had occurred to me as well. I wonder if you're right.

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

Fyfe, Shiel, Martin in that order for me. Than Zaha & Rockliff from the rest.

Fyfe is a class above them all, Shiel is the youngest of the lost and looks a jet, whilst MArtin whilst a gun carries a fair bit of baggage.

That being said, Trengrove and Thompson are interesting ones, as both would slot nicely into CHB

You don't honestly believe that do you?

 

[Since 2001]

i would love fyfe but i can't see it happening for me, but if we can get O'Meara ill always have that little bit of hope.

I would go for martin hard! Give up a first+hartung. Rocky would be a good player to get on just a 2 year deal then 1 year after that.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

The wider football community will absolutely rage this season if we finish top 4 and then proceed to land another big name at seasons end.

 

[Coathanger]

You're kidding, Tom Halfwit and the Chopstick Dustbin!!!!!
Won't happen. E.O.S.

We don't have a first hound pick to trade, plus he's a RFA so we mightn't have to give up anything.

Or they go the other way and say we gave up to much again

Either way they will act head****d

Geelong traded 3 firsts in two/three years?

 

[pomahawk]

I'm not quite sure how (some kind of sorcery perhaps?), but I get the feeling we'll land at least two of the names on the voting list.

Maybe three.

 

[WWSD]

The clubs number one priority should be to re-sign Luke Breust. The longer this drags out the more I'm worried about him leaving Hawthorn at the end of 2017.

Pretty sure just waiting for the cba to finish, neither party in a rush coz it will get done

How does Zaharakis get to be in amongst that list?

He's so bloody average. Do not want.

 

[PhatHQ]

It will be interesting to see how much Hopper improves this year. Could be a beast. Kelly from GWS has sublime skills.

#1 target! Gun

 

[kirbatron]

i think hopper will be the best out that gws mid crew

 

[Great 2008]

Sensible is one thing, associating with bikies is something else entirely. I wouldn't want someone with those links at the club.

A valid consideration. The AFL website portraying Martin as a gold digger today.

 

[Gralin]

If the AFL website backs up your argument you're probably wrong

Fyfe staying at Freo according to Pav in this morning's herald sun...

Heard his asking price is $1.5 million a year - I sincerely doubt he'd get anywhere near that amount at Hawthorn.

You're probably right. Not sure if you could say the same about St Kilda and Carlton though.....

Nathan Carroll and who else?

 

[JeddaB]

Team A has a lot of money to burn with a very good core of young guns + history.
Team B has a very good player about to come into RFA but will be going full rebuild before they know it.
Team A will offer said money to Team B's very good player.
Team B won't be able to match Team A's offer, but will receive a round 1 pick after their own, which will be 1-5.

Before you know it, the trade will be done and dusty'd

Still sticking by my post last October.

Mentioned that St. Kilda has been linked to Dusty. I can't vouch for the credibility of the site, but St. Kilda were one of the three clubs that Fyfe supposedly met with (St. Kilda, Carlton and us). If they're out of the running then apart from the $$$ I like our chances against Carlton.

I can. Its non-existent.

CHeers for the update but this site is just awful, better off on Facebook

Ah well, just posted what I read. Unfortunately, trying to find legit information about trades and things that aren't simply speculation is like asking to take two strokes off your golf game.
