Recommitted Bobby Hill [requested trade to Essendon but will be held to his contract]

[Lore]

 

[HFF]

Well what is Collingwood contract?

we have made no secret of our desire.....you on the other hand have played the "we didnt approach him, we dont want him"...yet 4yr contract on table and a future second too....

 

[boncer34]

we have made no secret of our desire.....you on the other hand have played the "we didnt approach him, we dont want him"...yet 4yr contract on table and a future second too....

Who from the club said that?

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

So what have Collingwood offered? Picks and contract info please.

Nothing...as we aren't in the mix.
However the whole "we didnt approach him", yet a 4yr offer is on the table....that's a bug turn it up...

Who else has offered it then? And how have you made no secret of your desire if you've offered nothing?

 

[Prochard123]

Wish he was open to pies, crying out for a small forward for 3 years

And we have brought in a stack of them, probably already more than we need...

 

[HFF]

The player hasnt indicated he wants to come to us, despite our interest.
Im not sure you need it spelt out to you....but your deflection is supreme

You just said Collingwood offered nothing. Despite them offering pick 27 and a contract, it's unrequited love but it happened.

So either it's suspicious af for both clubs or you've tried to really poorly troll.

 

[nahnah]

Once again I find myself disagreeing with you

 

[faible]

you've tried to really poorly troll.

 

[Love the Drake]

we upped offer from a 3rd to a 2nd how is that Essendon trying to win every trade?

most people think our 2nd is overs

Most people? Do you talk to non-Essendon people?

 

[Love the Drake]

Giving a f2 is way overs but somehow this is Essendons fault in your opinion

If I were McCartney I would take that deal and run and even if they do keep Hill he will most likely leave at the end of next year and they will get even less

Yeah. But you are not McCartney. McCarthey who is on record saying Essendon are shit to deal with, so why would he do your club any favours.

Confident you wouldn't say this when Dodo is trying to get the best deal for your club. In fact, I know you didn't say this with the Saad trade talks.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Embarassing stuff from Bobby Hill.

 

[eth-dog]

Well. That makes it interesting

 

[Sinjin Smith]

If Hill approached the bombers around GF time why did he wait until the halfway mark of Trade period to tell GWS?

 

[DamoESP]

Actions of a coward.

 

[eth-dog]

I wouldn't rule out Colin Young shenanigans

 

[Lore]

I think GWS actively seeking out Wingard/Breust/probably others to try to replace Hill indicates that they are at least open to doing something... just don't have the ducks in a row yet.

 

[Prochard123]

Wait so what does GWS actually want? Surely not a 1st rounder... Or is it just a matter of getting a replacement + future 2nd?

I don't actually want Hill but we could give GWS what they want

Option 1:

Essendon
In: Bobby Hill
Out: Future 2nd, Pick 51

Collingwood
In: Pick 51

Out: Bobby Hill

Option 2:

Essendon
In: Bobby Hill, Pick 27
Out: Pick 11

Collingwood
In: GWS future 1st
Out: Jamie Elliot, Pick 27

GWS
In: Pick 11, Jamie Elliot
Out: Future 1st, Bobby Hill

Elliot averaged 2 goals a game at a club that came 2nd last with one of the least inside 50 stats in the game. Imagine how good he would be at GWS, younger and cheaper than Breust.

We'd need a future 3rd to go with 51. A future second alone is pushing it

o look there's that thing I said

 

[Prochard123]

A future 2nd alone is not pushing it, in fact it's not even getting it done.

We can't give you Thomas + future 3rd for Pick 51 lol, that's suggesting Thomas has negative value.

 

[Love the Drake]

GWS can ask for the world, if Essendon aren't prepared to pay the price then that is also ok.

Stop getting angry over one side of the party

I have no skin in the game; you can call me many things, but angry, no. Interested observer...hell yeah!!

Loving the hypocritical Essendon posters (yours included):

• "We should walk away if they don't take it".
• "We've already offered overs".
• "We can get him for a lot less next year".

The only one's who are angry are you and your Essendon brethren, who are watching another Dodo train wreck, due to his previous dealings with other clubs.

Essendon really want Hill, and have a genuine need for a small pressure forward, so it will hurt when they don't get him. Shooting your nose off to spite your face is not something I encourage..

I suspect if Bobby gave them enough notice this deal would’ve gone through smoother. They want a direct replacement.

 

[Prochard123]

Welp honestly I think it's just not going to happen.

Why would a club trade in a small forward but also lose an "appropriate" (decent) one in the process?

Only way this gets done is if a 3rd club gets involved to facilitate this. And I don't think GWS would be happy with Thomas tbh. Maybe Elliot, but Essendon would need to pay up even more.
