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

[Harper_Hawk]

The competition is dead anyway.
The AFL won’t rest until Brisbane, GWS and Gold Coast are successful.

What chance have StKilda or North got to win a flag now,
And the poor Swans must feel like the forgotten love child.

Pretty soon it will be mandated that you can only win a flag once every 18 years

Fairly spot on. For us all crying over the rabbit that went back home. Looking closer to home. We have a young kid called Worpel who will out shine Coniglio in only his third year next year.

Can anyone tell me if it is this year or next (or a different year all together) that we HAVE to use our first round pick?

Neither.

 

[TylerDurden]

Yep.....you should get GTFO.
What have you bought to the table.
Come back when you have something constructive to add

Come at me

Spot on. A few tough guys rolling out tonight. Back in your flipping caves.

 

[tige19]

neither can Jaeger or Shiels... Crouch kicking efficiency better than both of them.

Jags issue is the ball drop, too much room for error, drops it from his hips.. did he do that at GC?

Ironic.....sort of sums up this whole thread really..

Next year, but if our father son/academy players get a bid in the first round then that counts as a first round pick. Finn is a potential back end and Downie next year is rated pretty highly (potential top 10)

 

[TylerDurden]

Gotta think that if GWS have given him 7mil before any afl money they would have matched anyway.

They were matching. It's why he stayed. He actually couldn't get out.

 

[Bruno Oresar]

Jeff’s comments say it all. Cogs was across the line to us until Gil got wind of it and forced his hand to stay..

Call me gullible but what leverage did the AFL have to stop Coniglio fro leaving GWS? Sounds like a dumb conspiracy theory for mine.

 

[Hawkas1988]

Oh well, we move onto missing out on Whitfield

Haha that made me chuckle a bit too much

If you think a super league style division of the comp will fix it - you’re wrong. Clubs will die, and it won’t be the plastics that do. And unless it’s Essenscum, I really don’t want AFL clubs to die.

People power is what’s needed. Sadly Australians are about the most apathetic people on the planet.

I can’t even be bothered to disagree with you.

 

[I got the outside word]

Neither.

So the ‘use at least two first round picks in the previous four years’ rule starts from scratch this year or does it backdate?

I’m not being serious
But gee I would love to bring them down

Best I could do is stand out the front of the G with a big sign draped over my shoulders that reads something along the lines of “AFL corruption - what chance has “your” club got”

Probably get arrested by the behavioural security specialists masquerading as wanna be cops

If you’re going to throw rocks, you should expect a 5.56 coming right back at you.

I notice the gutless ***** has run away.

People put their necks on the line in good faith to share information they have.
I am sure most of us appreciate that and understand when things change or information is not as reliable as it might have otherwise appeared.
We shouldn’t discourage that.

I think Tops gets the balance right, as does LMR after the treatment he got on here last year re: Lynch

 

[Cyril says]

Didn’t want him anyway.

GO HAWKS

Say that to my face!

Not going to be ammo left for next year then

4 players on ~1 mil each

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

I am not sure why people want to have a go at those who were disclosing what they had heard. If you take these as gospel, then you are going to be disappointed at same stage coz they aren’t All going to be 100% accurate.

Sometimes things just go wrong unintentionally, even if you do place trust in them

They don't have a cap mate.

Does this hinder us trading our future first then?

Spot on. Wrighty was aware they’d match too. Which signifies to me we were looking at different things a long time ago and to not worry too much.

Just breathe guys. If I’m an opposition supporter reading the melts in here tonight I’m pissing myself.

 

[RIOLINWITPUNCHS]

What compo do we get for losing Cogs to AFL ambassador payments?

 

[Toasted]

Maybe. It just means that Anything we do will have to be with a long term view. I’ve heard we do that quite well so it shouldn’t be a problem

Lachie Whitfield

Screenshotted for the next time someone comes at me with ‘WhY DoEs tHe FaMiLy cLuB nEeD sO MaNy PoKiEs’

Exactly, if we get rid of them they only go to another business. The AFL will have us out of Tassie soon so best keep self sufficient.
