Said it before and I'll say it again, silk as of here and now, is uncontracted. Maybe he wants a bit of think time before he even wants to play. I hope he goes on, he was brilliant yet again, has he even had a bad season?
 
So shoey, burgs, TOB and Sicily have signed.

I reckon 2 or more of Puopolo, Stratton, Birchall, maybe Gunston will be traded out for a "retirement" contract. Langers could also go.

We need some picks. If we could engineer say Baltic, a young gws mid (hopper/Kennedy), maybe Mckenzie from suns, a FA (Rockliff?) plus still give GW some picks to play with would be a great offseason. I'd also like us to find a developing tall - not sure who is on radar?
Gunston will not be traded - another 6-8 years left in him.

I was of the view he had now committed to play on and the club had agreed???
 
There is no way i can see O'Rourke getting cut. I think they had high hopes for him after his preseason last year and was just cut down by injuries.
 
Only a gut feel about him playing out his career at Power.. I can't remember where I heard it but I heard that Silk had some arrangement to move back to SA to persue coaching once his playing days are over..

After what we saw happen with Sammy last year, won't surprise me if we see something similar with Silk. Yes Silk was fantastic for us again this year, but let's not forget Sammy had just won the b&f..


Just announced he has re-signed for another year

And all this time I was going through such pain and personal anguish........such hell! For nothing! :D

I think we all let out a little sigh of relief when we saw Burgers signed on the dotted line this morning!
 
With Hodge and Gibson off the main list, I think Willsmore will be the unlucky 3rd.

Like last year I hope that whoever leaves the list this year gets a chance at another club.

For the sake of regeneration I hope Poppy takes the GWS offer and he helps facilitate Matt Kennedy coming over.

I hope that if Whitecross's leadership is not needed that he head to GC/Bris to allow Balic to come over.

If Kiwi goes I hope that another club can see a need for him.

Despite being a team who needs to regenerate a fair bit Im finding it hard to see where the changes have to be.

Can't see another who will be retired early or shipped off for a retirement contract somewhere else.

Our rookie list seems well stocked for a change with Hanrahan, Glass, Nash and Cousins. Jack off (ha) at least leaves us a spot for one of the academy kids if they're good enough.

Are we also running one short on the main list this year again? That may mean Jack's departure could keep a spot open for a FA/trade if need be.

I'd take that dotted line off number 13 & put it thru numbers 27 & 28 as being 50/50 to be at Hawthorn next year.
Jeez, where's all this 'Poppy's gone ' talk is coming from?
Ty is still contracted, stop being silly.

I never said either were gone or delisted.
I responded to seysearles & put a 50/50 line thru their names.

Poppy has apparently been offered a decent contract from GWS & would be silly not to seriously consider it as he turns 30 this year.

As for TV being contracted, that does not mean he can't be traded.
Surprisingly, I have heard another club is considering his services. Whether they inquired about him or we put his name up, I'm not sure. But it isn't completely out of the question.

If you want to tell people to stop being 'silly'
then maybe start with the posters who keep mentioning Breust.
FFS, he met with Clarko last year & asked if the rumours were true. He told Clarko that he wants to stay at Hawthorn & not go anywhere else. Then signed a 4 yr contract.

It's silly to suggest we'd get rid of a player we contracted last year on half a mil. We wouldn't get any interest if we wanted to trade him and there's nothing to be gained by dropping him completely. So, silly.

I keep hearing the buzz on Poppy also - there has been a lot of it. Certainly not silly to mention it!

Vickery being traded though I think would cost us in terms of cap space so I dare say it won't happen.

Yes but if someone told you this time last year that Lewis and Mitchell would be traded for picks in the 4th and 5th round of the draft I am sure you would have called them more than silly.
 
At this time of year there are a shitload of rumours about trades and offers. Both rumours about Poppy and TV are simply that - rumours. Sure, we can make a comment, but we should fall short of declaring them as having 'actually happened'. I mean, does anyone have any proof that Poppy has been offered a contract from GWS? I doubt it.

As I said, I don't know if we initiated it or the other club inquired but we might offer to pay for e.g. $150,000 just to get rid of him.
I'd be ok with that

I have not read anyone post that it's actually happened.
It's an 'UNOFFICIAL list management' thread where posters post their opinions or rumours that they've heard.
Some could happen, most won't. Time will tell
