We have tabled a $625k x 4 offer to Wingard - who still thinks that we ever offered Shiel $900k plus??!

Now for operation Cogs!
Jeez that is so cheap for a player of his quality... Not bad for a team that isn't a destination club

I need to slap a few people in here with the Burton talk.

Remember last year (or the year before?) when everyone was putting Breust in conversations and that Hawks would have to include him in trades to get anything done, and that we should trade him to GWS.

Burton is this year's Breust.

Not going anywhere. Not even slightly.

They could put pick 1 on the table and we'd say no, because he's a 21 year old gun, extremely happy at Hawthorn and mid contract. Burton is what you would want your pick one to BECOME.

Relax.
Exactly, whats more Burton is more than one player. He can play multiple roles. From kpd to wing to half forward
 
Let’s see how this plays out.

Burton has potential but let’s not overrate him. He’s 22 in January, was dropped during the year. He has nice skills but he’s not a KPP, not a midfielder and not a contested ball/marker.

Wingard is 25, dual AA. At his best he was a top 20 player in the comp. He has stalled the last couple years in a club that is struggling

We have seen what Clarkson can do with excellent players - make them better. He got Tom Mitchell a Brownlow within 2 years. With Wingards talent, Clarkson could do a lot.

This has Burgoyne MK2 written all over it.

Prefer to do the deal for our two first rounders than lose Burton (because Burton looks a likely 200 gamer and draft picks are lottery tickets). But I am doubtful Burton will ever be as good as Wingard
 
Burton will not be traded.

Hawthorn is smarter than that. Give them a little credit at least.
Port playing dirty by leaking that?

Remember when they made this exact same play during the Burgoyne discussions and told media that Campbell Brown had been offered up.

Errr, yeah...but you don't give more than you get.

Well we need to include more than pick 15 for a 25 year old AA who can play multiple positions and has kicked 50 goals in a year before..

So take Burton out of it, what other player with legitimate value do we put forward along with pick 15?

If we perform as we did this year two first rounders won't cut it and players like Schoey/O'Brien/Doc and Co don't either.

The type Clarko loves.
On trade value...remember that Port wasn’t willing to extend Wingard’s contract beyond next season and I did mention some time back that Wingard only ever put the $1m price tag on his head as that was the money he would stay at Port for...not what he wanted from a potential suitor.

You post as if you know Burto :eek:
 
I did let everyone know a few months back that there was issues with Burton and got shot down.

Keep an open mind everyone. We are not going to offer players up that don’t want to leave. Just remember this.....
Can I bookmark this post?
 
The burton talk is port propaganda until proven otherwise.

They leaked that much during the Burgoyne dealings - that this reeks of being the deal Port want, not what we have offered.

Why was it an SA based journo breaking the exclusive offer? Since when were offers exclusives? Why didn’t the vic journo who broke the actual fuqqing story also break this news corroborated by both clubs?

Grain of salt. Port have history messing with us in the media.
