Latest news and rumours:

• Tom Barrass officially requests trade to Hawthorn
  • Duffield: Eagles want two first round picks - "It may have to be in this year’s draft rather than a future pick."
  • Morris: Josh Battle is set to join Barrass at Hawthorn in 2025 - Ralph: Unclear if Hawks will pay enough for Band 1

• Kysaiah Pickett interested in a trade
  • "Club and management are confident they can work through his concerns"
  • Daniels: Pickett’s preference is Fremantle. Fremantle are keen, but Bolton the priority. Getting both “not impossible”. West Coast “an option if things get complicated.”

• Jai Culley, Coen Livingstone, Loch Rawlinson in line for one-year deals (The West)
  
  
• Liam Baker and Shai Bolton

[Ambrose Burnside]

Hawks fans talking as though barrass is a free agent and they are in the box seat.

I see they're familiar with us at the trade table.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

A bit disappointing that the AFL knew about Hewett's foot and that he was able to hide it from the club for a year without us having a clue about it.
I guess it's not much of a surprise...

 

[Deepthroat]

Im sure this has factored in heavily to the Barrass decision

Jamieson is wet dream stuff. Zero chance he'll become a regular AFL level KD.

 

[Hoskin300]

This guy could be the dark horse to really turn heads next year. Pretty much forgotten about due to missing basically the whole year through injury.
Jamo and Bazzo could be a couple of massive ins next year filling some roles.

On the JD thing, personally I prefer to keep him and test the waters with Bwilliams.

If the past 2 years have told us anything, he isn't a key ruck. He would probably now be 4th + in line as a tall forward and would have more value than Darling in a trade elsewhere.
Having Darling around at least gives some valued experience for the young guys to learn from, particularly when playing with them in the 2's.

Flynn, JWilliams, Jamo could not be any worse than, Bwilliams, Bwilliams, Jwilliams.

No offence but this is crazy delusional. Jamieson being a massive in is ridiculous.

Jamieson despite showing some promise as a KPD has struggled to stay on the park since he arrived at the club so we’ve rarely seen it. Nor has he had the opportunity to properly develop in that role

Given he’d be on a modest contract and is recovering from (I think) knee and/or ankle surgery he’d be a candidate to be delisted and paid out for 2025. That depends on how deep we want to cut and how many of the current uncontracted players we want to retain

I wouldn’t be relying on Jamieson becoming viable KPD depth. If he does then it’d be a welcome bonus

lol quality there, where do i sign up?

Join the line behind Ross Lyon.

 

[ghostbat12]

I reckon they factored in they can just draft another tall.

We aren’t just going to draft midfielders, rightly or wrongly.

Saw Mr Jamieson at The Morris on Saturday in full moon boot and crutches

[chaddy22]

I for one think we should keep Darling, rather than trade him for a pick 60+. A break in case of emergency, get him to 300 next year.

We are not North who shunt of a boomer harvey, or Essendon who won't even give Heppell a farewell game.

We should have more than enough list turnover that he's not taking a list spot from a talent youngster.

Darling is the one who wants to play till age 35.He ain't gonna do it at the Eagles so it has to be elsewhere.

 

[chaddy22]

Yeah I'm in the get JD to 300 camp.

Unless someone offers something crazy like 1st rounder

[Wooshaaaa]

Darling to Norf for their R3 pick which is likely to be at 41 and Norf offer him 2 years with a 3rd year trigger. Think of it as a 2 year holiday to explore Victoria.

He would be handy along side Larkey.

And a pick in the 40s would be great for us. There is going to be some kids worth looking at in the third round of this draft. WA players played better than everyone thought. Vic metro and country are stacked. SA and allies there's a few. Then there's all the kids who weren't in the national carnival playing Coates and SANFL and wafl. I know a bunch of kids playing in coates but not higher, who have had multiple meetings with clubs. Recruiters are 'out and about' this year.

they probably knew we were looking to trade down to get him and wanted us to burn the pick

 

[MrKennedy17]

More of a Lynch or Daniher full forward IMO.

Betting on him to be our superstar full fwd. The sooner he is in team the better. 205cm Full Fwd look out.

 

[Ghossein]

in what world does the AFL not disclosing relevant medical information make sense

 

[ziad]

in what world does the AFL not disclosing relevant medical information make sense

I guess in a world where WC trade down from elite mids to chances and flankers.

 

[flyinghi64]

Could Be.....
Could be.....
No offence taken but I just see some big upside to him IF he can get his body right.

 

[Citizen Erazed]

Hawks fans talking as though barrass is a free agent and they are in the box seat.

An old, crippled free agent. I am surprised they are interested at all.

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

So is Hewett a confirmed bust or is this just everyone whipping themselves up into a frenzy over nothing?

 

[eaglevision]

Hough 3 year extension. Good news.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

So is Hewett a confirmed bust or is this just everyone whipping themselves up into a frenzy over nothing?

A bust until he proves otherwise, like Chesser.

 

[Keys]

As eaglevision posted above, 3 more years of Hough (until 2028) and confirmation of the new 3 year deal for Harry Edwards (until 2027)

 

[ghostbat12]

An old, crippled free agent. I am surprised they are interested at all.

There is a wide range of condition between sore back and crippled.

People make it sound like you either have a perfect back or are f-ed. Half the players would have bulging disks.

 

[ghostbat12]

Bust until proven otherwise.
