Hartung, Stewart and Willsmore(to be rookied, due to contract) all delisted

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Hartung isn't training with any other clubs.....

Surely if anyone was interested in taking him as a rookie then he would be training with them.

I can't believe he would not be picked up. Maybe he's put a price on hsi head and everyone is baulking at it. If I was the Eagles I would certainly consider him.

 

[Brishawk]

Possibly Hartung has an offer from another club which they are keeping quiet to avoid competition in the national draft.

Maybe. But why wouldn’t Hartung or his manager be spreading the word wide and far? Competition means a bidding war and that means more money and/or years.

I heard he was going to either Brisbane or West Coast.

 

[Gralin]

why pick him up as a DFA if you can get him as a rookie?
don't have to pay him as much and less impact on TPP yet can still play him 22 games if you want

If he gets picked up I reckon it will be rookie draft

 

[Hawk Dork]

Probably will end up at Frankston

 

[Mitchell54]

Hope he finds a club. Wish him all the best. Think he can become a decent player... just not at Hawthorn
Will get picked up by someone.
Can see him ending up at Sydney or St Kilda for some reason. Maybe he just looks better in White & Red

Gee thats a massive fall from the purported offer from Hawks.

2years on senior list at $275 turns into a 1 year rookie deal on minimum chips

Same. Surely at least 1 club would be interested....surely.

Would you reject a deal from Hawthorn and not know the market? Surely not....but then again Xavier Richards...

Hawthorn didn’t offer him a contract towards the end of the year. He was offered a 1 year contract at the start of the year but knocked it back as he wanted a 2 year contract. Would be regretting that decision now.

Think Billy has far more to offer than Richards ever did... I'm tipping Eagles, Suns or Lions.

Last time Billy tried for a bidding war he got left at the altar.

Looks like the altar boy is on his knees now...

Hartung pick 77 for roos

Disappointed we couldn't get anything for him.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

North have really wised up. Would have given us an early second rounder a few years ago.

Clearly clubs don't really rate him that highly.... pick 77 speaks volumes.

The fact he went so late means we wouldn't have got much for him anyway.

 

[Slick]

Ahhh North!

 

[Blaze Storm]

If "You were the last pick in the draft after literally every other club had passed" isn't the wake up call he needed to turn his attitude around, nothing will be.

Billy, billy, billy.

We could have had an early 3rd rounder and you a 2yr contract if only you would have said yes.

second last pick, Blues grabbed Garlett afterwards
and he didn't end up a rookie which surprised me

 

[wahawk]

North have really wised up.

Have they really though ?

 

[wahawk]

We/they know Billy's limitations
Had they used that pick on an unknown 18 yr old, could have proved a better option

 

[MasterSamurai]

Pick 24 to 77 , from the greatness of Hawthorn to the Shinboners, how the heck does that happen in the space of four years to a 22 year old?? Extraordinary!

 

[WWSD]

Is that it from a senior list point of view. So the club isn’t going to use the two remaining senior list spots? Not including the CJ selection who's a category B rookie and Willsmore who will be re-rookied, am I right to assume that we have three live picks in the rookie draft?
