No Oppo Supporters Hawthorn’s 2019 Trade/FA - Targets/Incoming players discussion only - Next Part

[Roughie]

The question is, how much are we helping GWS by taking on Patton? How much of his contract are we absorbing? Whilst we definitely need key position depth but it’s a huge risk. Who knows if our commitment to Patton helped GWS get a better read on their salary situation when re signing Cogs.

 

[Holy Rioli]

If we really want Patton we'll still get him. If we want to find a way to wiggle out we'll make it look like we couldn't come up with an agreeable trade with GWS.

fu** Fatton. 5th rounder for screwing us

Nar he can stay for one more year to get his body right.

 

[MasterSamurai]

Rather keep Isaac Smith then get greenwood, ones 28 the other 30, the 30 year old is 10 times the player the 28 year old is!!

 

[Carl Spackler]

Really? An injury/lesser season for Worpel this year and pick 2 was ours.

Mate, we beat all the better midfields he listed. It was even funnier because he didn't use orange font. Our midfield ain't a shit midfield. Cogs would have been phenomenal but now he continues with the plastic fantastics. Meanwhile we build the best defence in the league and crack the ton in the final two rounds. We're not Carlton. One player does not make us.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

He is a goal kicking midfielder which is a luxury we don't currently enjoy.

Again wrong see previous post.

 

[Milkshaker]

It WaS a FrEe HiT.

I know how free agency works. It’s not the only way to build a list. We have the best list team and coach in the league. Have fun with the histrionics - I’m not partaking.

There was no free hit. That is a mirage. That pisses people off. Not gonna sugar coat it.

 

[bumsonseats]

Doomsday around here.

A player misses out on donning the gold and brown and playing for arguably the best team in Australia. We move onto someone who will be a better servant of our great club.

7 years playing for Ross Lyon in front of 3000 people......

 

[Hawkie_McHawkHawk]

Ahh well. We were always going to have to cough up a shitload of $, that’s what happens with primo free agents moving clubs.
Full faith in the club- they know what they’re doing.

 

[killerspud]

Look itsbjust not our way to bring a superstar into the club. We either develop kids or get ok players from other clubs and get them to the next level. Gunston Henderson Impey Tom Mitchell Scully and going back to Gibson Hale.

Have faith that our recruiting staff are still a step ahead and that we will have surprise packets from other clubs and rough diamonds in the draft. Trade time is only there for us to win real flags for a lot of other clubs trade time is their finals because they don't have what we have.

 

[BobHawk]

As much as Coniglio's decision is disappointing for the club we need to keep in mind that with Mitchell returning we have 2x ball magnets in Mitchell and Worpel which is worth 60 - 80 possessions per game. We have O'Meara, Wingard and Shiels. We don't need Elvis to fill the stadium. We just need one more solid support act that can add another dimension to our midfield. I am confident we will get one but it will cost. Again. I just hope we don't trade away our high draft picks. IMO we need those to replenish the list more than a Coniglio.

 

[PhatHQ]

So why don't we refuse to take on Pattons contract now? Seriously... To me it was a package deal.

Anyway, we've gone from Cogs to Greenwood #GodHelpUs

I nearly fell off my crouch when I seen this about Greenwood

 

[Hawkboy62]

Cogs 7 year extension with the Giants

Sad, but the caravan moves on. Surely this compromises their chances of retaining Cameron & Whitfield next year? Unless there is some AFL sanctioned 3rd party deal involved. Lachie, here we come!

 

[Bugs1977]

What would it take to get Whitfield this offseason and is it something that we can actually pull off trade wise? We have pick 11 this season assuming GC get pick 2. It’s going to take another 1st or a good player on top of pick 11 to get Whitfield IMO.

 

[Milkshaker]

Mate, we beat all the better midfields he listed. It was even funnier because he didn't use orange font. Our midfield ain't a s**t midfield. Cogs would have been phenomenal but now he continues with the plastic fantastics. Meanwhile we build the best defence in the league and crack the ton in the final two rounds. We're not Carlton. One player does not make us.

Our midfield is still one injury or multiple niggles from being dragged back to the pack. Cogs would have made us a contender imo. Nothing I post detracts from the fact the club is going keep on punching.

 

[pipcoo]

clearly all the talk about Cogs wanting to play footy with JOM
was all horse shit.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Move on from Cogs ladies and gents...
FWIW...I liked plan B even though Cogs would have been a very handy “free hit”.

All eyes still on the Crows and Giants tree shake

Keith and Greenwood in a package deal, we get decent midfield depth and a key back in 1 go.

 

[Roughie]

clearly all the talk about Cogs wanting to play footy with JOM
was all horse s**t.

If you thought that would be the main reason to change footy clubs then you are delusional

 

[tige19]

100% spot on and I’m not the biggest Issie fan

Fingers crossed lol.

Hi guys

I was able to distract the bank manager long enough this evening after taking things to the bank. Seems that vault he showed me is worthless now

 

[bumsonseats]

What do you think Cogs and the Hawthorn players chatted about over a few drinks just a couple of nights ago.
Has Jags congratulated him on signing his new contract or have divorce papers been lodged

 

[Charchi]

Wow

$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.

 

[bumsonseats]

Wasn’t the bank in Snowtown by any chance

 

[Jethro!]

Sources close have confirmed Jeff absolutely filthy! He knows it’s the AFL who stepped in leading to Cogs staying.

do you think he already knew on Saturday night? Hence the calling out of the AFL?
