" Rule is back

 

[Ned Ryerson]

2023 I would be aiming for 9-11 wins, generally more consistent & competitive football.

Are 9-11 wins an inside job?

 

[Hawthorn2023]

Are 9-11 wins an inside job?

You don't think it's possible?

 

[Hawked Wings]

I have zero interest in Amon or Brayshaw. In my opinion they have peaked in solid squads. Solid players, but can they improve another 30%? Also both 26. Does it make sense to dump $600k-$750k on either of these players? Will it truly make a difference?

I believe we need to target 21-23 year olds. Similar to how we landed Gunston & Scrimshaw. There are plenty of quality young guys not getting a game.

If I was to pick one, it's Amon. Penetrating kick, also has attacking mindset.

If we are talking potential contender window (2025-2028) Morrison, Day, CJ, Bramble & Maginness would be my rotations across the wing.

I’m staggered that there’s people who don’t think signing Amon would be great for us. Essentially replacing Shiels on the list with a 26 year old Amon for nothing more than an extra 200k (which we have plenty of) would be a massive win for us. Long left foot kick, suits our game style….massive no brainer

Oh my.

9/11
Inside job

 

[grumbleguts]

Enter grumbleguts….he loves Howe

Not one of my favourite players, just better than the whipping boy people treat him as.

 

[Hawthorn2023]

Oh my.

so aiming for 9 to 11 wins in '23 is too far fetched?

He is no A grader, however he would be a handy addition to a new look midfield squad.

 

[Hawthorn2023]

Oh my.

interesting..

Dom ,admit it, Hawthorn2023 is an alt account.

[FB19]

With Jackson going to freo should we go after Lloyd meek? In the few games I have seen him in I was impressed. He fits our demographic and creates a good contest for spots with 3 rucks around 24-25 he’s got much better chance of playing senior footy with us than behind Darcy and Jackson and he’s a Ballarat boy.

Would cost too much in a trade.

“In theory”

Wow, there’s a scoop

A little frustrated but not frustrated enough to move

Greater Western Sydney is set for another exodus of key players at the end of the season, Sam McClure says.

, you can now put in that same position – I believe he will leave GWS this trade period, with one year left on his deal,” McClure said on 3AW.

“And Bobby Hill and Tanner Bruhn, I think, will both join them out the exit door.

“This is, once again, salary cap based.”

 

[TassieGrown]

Those 44 words could be jumbled up and still not say anything remotely interesting

 

[hfc70]

Silly season seems to have started early. Heaps of names thrown around but who really knows.
Hawks have the cash plus a young developing list…..interesting times.

Me , I’d take Hopper in a heartbeat but seems a stretch

 

[burger09]

Giants having their annual garage sale.

We've been stung before, more than once.
With all the talent they have had access to, how have they got Jessie Hogan at FF and Lachie Keefe at FB?

Their coaches box of late is also the stuff of nightmares. If they don't land a very good coach, a mass exodus is on the cards in 2022/23.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

We might need to hold fire on GWS, and start laying the ground work for Callaghan to come home next year?

GWS wont be in any rush to trade Hopper they're bound to finish in a similiar position next year which would net them a top ten pick through Free Agency and I don't see sides making a trade worth while this year.

Maybe the Saints but i don't see any other side coming to the table.
