Traded Jaeger O'Meara [traded to Hawthorn for pick 10 and GWS's 2017 2nd rd pick]

[Rioli the king]

Off the top of my head they could do:

Pick 18, 54, & Hartung for 58, 76 & O'Meara
2017 1st, 2017 2nd & Langford for 53, 71 & Mitchell

Hawks go to the draft with 53, 58, 71, 76, 90

It's doable.

I see your thinking, but GC don't need a outside player and Sydney don't need a inside player. IMO the swans will want picks rather than extra contracts

 

[Lance Uppercut]

They don't. But what club will. Not can. Offer more then Hawks?

who knows? I'm not saying they definitely will or they won't. Once again, for those who've just joined us, I'm simply pointing out that some assumptions are nothing more than fallacious and dogmatic myths.

Like the one about the player who for some mysterious reason decides on a club and won't entertain any other clubs. Or the one that because the player wants to get to the one club he's chosen the club he's leaving has to get him there by hell or high water; and that for some reason it's significant that because the club has the risk of losing everything that they then must accordingly lose control of where the player goes, but strangely insignificant that equally the player can to risk losing control of where he goes

Out of all the trades over the last 5 years which players have not reached their chosen destination?

Youre probably right, which is why the AFL is stuffed. The same 6 teams do well every year, the rich get richer with Free Agency and the AFLPA bending clubs over to the will of players who want to chase premierships or abandon struggling clubs.

It's a disgrace. And they won't do anything about it whilst Hawthorn and Geelong keep pulling 80k plus at the G in finals times.

Despite the fact the rest of the competition is tired of the same privlidged few getting rewarded.

Short memory mate, it's not our fault that the blues overrated their list, missed in the draft and kept topping up with the list with spuds. Hawthorn and Carlton rebuilt at exactly the same time!

Harley Balic? Had a wrist injury that by all accounts has been fixed. Possibly playing in WAFL finals.

Can confirm, wrist is fixed (for now), playing WAFL finals.

Doesnt mean much but in WAFL reserves, in half a game he had 30 touches in his first game back. Some Freo peeps have him (very optimistically so) in best 22 next year

True. Although, Gold Coast have come out and said they want players - so I was just spit-balling the kind of standard they would want.

 

[Iva Bigun]

We've shown in the past with our trading, that we more than make a fair deal. Any hold up in progress will be Gold Coast asking for more than he's worth.

What he is worth is decided by 2 clubs not one, a deal will get done you may think you paid too much and me too little.

Only OMercanarys career from now on will determine the trades outcome

"my footy brain".

Is that next to my think brain?

Yeah, in the other cheek

 

[triple treat]

no shit. But once again that just completely skims the surface of the topic. Why would he only want to go to Hawthorn? If Hawthorn can't make it happen, but another Melbourne club can, why can NO-ONE give a remotely credible answer as to why this kid would have his heart set on getting only to Hawthorn? Why is he "digging in his heals(sic)"?

Maybe you can answer me the question, since Abasi doesn't appear to want to.

If O'Meara is so set on the one club, whoever that may be, then why is he allegedly touring the facilities of multiple clubs?

My thinking would be he sees Hawthorn as having the best medical and fitness team and therefore being able to get his knee right and him back to playing at his best. Then theres the fact he has knocked back a big money deal from GC so you would think he has had some think sorted with a club already. Who that club is, who knows? But unless your in the know all you can do is go on whats reported in the media and the hawks seem to be up to there necks in it!

They all do it mate, have you not seen/listened for how many years now? Frawley toured freo a few years ago but chose Hawks, burger met with a number of clubs but picked is preferable club, as did Juddy.
He will pick A club(I hope Hawks but who would know) and 98% he will get there.
Strange that he hasn't said bombers by now if it was them.

 

[Rioli the king]

I'm just reading your pity party... Hawthorn have only used 2 First round picks in the last few years. Some list managers are smart & some aren't..can't change that... but maybe a first round that the top 4 miss out on.

You've managed to succeed in a vacuum where you were succesful and attractive when the GWS and GC concessions stripped clubs of the picks they needed to rebuild. Clubs like Port Adelaide were pushed to outside the top 10 in those years and this created a generation of failed or hampered regeneration at clubs like Carlton, Port Adelaide, Melbourne, West Coast etc.

Hawthorn, with a list built on good drafting in 2004 and 2006 (or 05?) were the top of the pile, could attract players like Lake, Frawley, Gibson for under market price.

Lately, you've been aquiring players like O'Rourke for on the cheap on that winning reputation.

Thankfully, your list is very old and facing a cliff where Mitchell, Burgoyne, Hodge and co are getting older quick. The younger generation is not of the same quality and your youth is limited.

Hopefully, you wont aquire Mitchell and Jaeger and rejuvinate the list, but my faith in good things happening in the AFL are very low and you probably will.

Bring on another 5 years of Hawthorn in the top 6, even you must be getting bored of it soon?

How many Number 1 picks did Carlton have in that time? Short memory

Just when Caddy picked EFC, of course he'll get to his preferred destination.

1. Probably not true
2. He grew up a massive supporter of the club and loves it here
3. Other rumours are circling that

= not a lock
