There was plenty of talk mid-year that we were chasing one of the big defenders from Port. Now that has gone quiet, yet there is talk that Port are interested in Renouf.

Anyone heard anything recently re: our interest in Port's defenders & whether we are still/ever were interested; &, whether Renouf may be involved in those trades?

* Pure speculation *

Think the talk was around Jackson Trengove who has signed I doubt he would be going anywhere unfortunately. Alipate Carlile has also recently signed I believe.
 
Just reported on TWR...

Laddo off to GWS

EDIT: Alledgedly

Being reported in a couple of places now. Fully fit he will be an asset for GWS. I do not think we have ever really seen the best of Laddo for an extended period of time. He can play though. Loved his goal in the 2008 GF was very happy for him.

Will compensation rules come into play i.e Premiership player. (albiet he did not get on the park much this year)

I suspect it is to get some other deal done though.

TWR reporting that X ELLIS is close to re-signing with the Hawks & that he won't be part of the Gunston deal.

Didn't he recently sign for 3 years?

That's what was posted on one of our threads about a month ago


and Fletch realistically only has 3 or 4 years left.

Good one
 
Haha, that's alright mate. Just thought if he was uncontracted and we were chasing Gillies, he would perhaps be more gettable. I'm not completely across the Essendon list, but I thought Carlisle could conceivably take his spot and with Daniher? coming next year, perhaps it could be an opportunity to address other areas.
So we'd trying to push finals (again, fingers crossed) with a 19yo at either CHF or CHB. Doesn't happen often.
That's (fingers crossed) correct for the top end, but it can't really be the whole story.
All of the guys behind them (Darcy D, Still, Neagle, TSlatts) have failed/broken down and been cut/"retired"; and Hille/Fletch are getting on; and we're no closer to an answer on Gumby.

Hooker is way, way further up (& more important to) our list than Gillies is to Geelong's

Can't find anything reported through a Google search except an article in August from the Herald-Sun saying that he was close to signing a new contract with the Hawks.

He signed a 2-year deal back in 2009 so he would be out of contract at the end of this year, unless he has signed already.
 
A little birdie just chirped...

Hawks: Gunston, Gillies, Crouch
Outs: Ladson, Young, Twister
Picks: Undetermined
Steak Knives: Unknown
Ellis: Stays

Ummm... I fail to see how that outcome is remotely possible, we're giving up a bunch of second tier players and coming away with some very quality results.

Even giving away all our draft picks as well I can't see that happening :eek: Don't get me wrong though, I would be thoroughly stoked if that is the outcome though!

Again, I said if he was uncontracted, that was the premise of my post.

Lol surely you are taking the piss, you don't honestly think we can steal Gunston, Gillies and Crouch for those 3 do you???:eek:

If this so called 'birdie" was chirping the truth it would be the biggest tradeweek win of all time lol.
 
A couple of things I've heard:

Renouf -> Port Adelaide.
Ladson -> GWS


Ladson I suspect will go for nothing, whereas Renouf I really don't know. They won't pay their first pick (6), but we won't want their second pick (34ish) I suspect.
 
Barrett on TWR stating (which was posted on the board last week i think) that Laddo has been told he won't be required at the club next year.

Gee, Barrett hears all the news as it breaks, doesn't he?
 
my spies tell me that we are getting 4 first round draft picks from GWS for ladson...... i would bet the house on it

oh did i mention that my spy is barrett?
