If this isn't the God's saying it's time to hit the draft then I don't know what is! Trade for another top 20 pick, take a mid and Fischer McAsey, then match Finn Mcguiness with later picks and make sure we give a big **** you to Gil and the AFL at our next premiership ceremony:thumbsu:

$500K/year of AFL ambassadorial money will do that for you. Remember Gil got involved last week.

Smith must stay now with Impey going down, unfortunately no chance of getting Hill back.

Can we have some ambassador cash for Jags please.


Oh....that’s right.....we already had our lick of the ice cream

Wonder how much we helped them to keep Cogs by taking Scully and Patton off the books, hope it’s being used as leverage to bring Lachie home. Zero confidence in this though as apparently Gubby Allen (some pretty serious history there) is all over him to get to Saints too. Our strike rate on free agents is starting to get worrying.

Also wonder if we knew this back when we resigned TOM,JOM and Cuz and if so what can we read into this restructuring.
 
100% spot on and I’m not the biggest Issie fan
He was actually pretty good in 2017, had some big games and had an influence for them. If he can be somewhere close to that for us than it will improve our team. Maybe not to the extent Cogs would have but it's an upgrade on a Howe or Cousins right now.
 
Onto the next tatget

If the AFL kicked in a $3.5m sweetener then I won’t be able to put my kids to bed at night. How can the world exist with such injustice?
 
Not the end of world. Excited to see what other options we have up our sleeves.

This would also make GWS salary cap extremely tight. They would have 3 players over 1m. With Whitfield not currently one of them becoming a free agent next year. Would hope we have a serious crack at him this year.

That’s a bigger load of s**t than Gil’s constant interference in the league.
**** off. Worps carried us. We need another quality mid even accounting for Mitchells inclusion. Its no secret. It has been a common thread on our site all year. We have a list close to challenging imo with the the FREE hit coming off. If Burger and Smith go its even more pressing.
 
This must completely change our strategy moving forward essentially from that announcement onwards.

With Coniglio on a free we are instantly transformed into a top 4 side. It was an opportunity that was just too good to miss out on.

Now if we want to bring in a big name we will have to give up heaven and earth. That is essentially robbing Peter to pay Paul. We can't afford to lose our most tradeable players (Gunston, Smith, Breust and Shiels) if we want to win now, and that's been the aim. And if we trade away players for picks then we will be a few years away from developing them, whilst all our best players are in their peak years now or at the tail end of them.
 
I see a Shiel situation again where we end up with a better player. Cogs might be a better midfielder but Whitfield is a better player.
Even if that did happen - which is very unlikely - it would be at the expense of 2 first round picks or a gun and a first round pick.

This can’t be spun as a positive. It sucks. We need to move on but it really sucks and puts a big dent in our quest for next premiership.
 
Get Lachie in this year, win a flag in 2020. We are not that far off the pace. Defence is elite, midfield very good, need a mature small forward Liam Ryan style from the WAFL/SANFL and Whitfield would be the cream. Gotta keep Smith now too, can’t just let elite athletes like him waltz out
Best way to stick it up the AFL & Coniglio
 
The Free Agency game isn't for the Hawthorn Football club sadly, we might think we have pull with Clarko etc, but the harsh reality is the biggest free agent we've lured is James Frawley.
 
We've definitely been played. Also by Petroro.

I actually don't think they've got a cap. They'll keep Whitfield too. AFL just making s**t up as they go. I'm not kidding. It's corrupt.

And now we lose Silk to the GC. They can go and get f’ed.

Is the burgers news speculation or fact. I am at 30’000 feet at the moment and limited IT
