Clubs will be scrambling for our early 2nd rnd picks.toces sitting on the eggs warming them and theyre gonna start flying out in 4 weeks or so from now
Calm down… deals are doneThey just wanna win every trade like us!!
Baker for 13 is pretty fair, considering it will be pick 15/16 come draft night. Chuck in a future 3rd rounder to make it look like they won the trade.
Pick 9 + another 1st rounder is minimum for Bolton. We don’t have to trade him if the teams chasing won’t give up fair value.
I guess everyone wants to win trades but fans have to realise there are different values. When you are near a premiership as freo is I think you have to go full throttle. There's a lot of talent there and they have to get bolton as he can turn a match. No one in the draft like him.They just wanna win every trade like us!!

What makes you think deals are done?Calm down… deals are done
Rioli -> picks 6 & 12
Bolton -> picks 9 & 10
Baker & pick 12 -> pick 3
(Club now sees Barass pick as not good enough due to hawks finishing higher)
#I'm not sure if anyone else is following the trades board but just to keep you all posted it looks like most of the picks we have earmarked for Rioli have gone to other teams to suit their Houston, Lukosius trades and even Freo's 1st rounders have gone to other teams in pick swaps to get their trades over the line.
Oh, and don't bother with looking at North's pick 2 because some Port fans have even taken that pick in part of the Houston trade. LOL
Looks like we are going to be stuck with Rioli & Bolton. Probably only get a pick 40 for Graham.
You're definitely using the benefit of hindsight here. Back at the end of 2004 no one thought most of those players were premiership quality. Even Hodge's quality was being doubted for a #1 pick given how Judd & Ball had started their careers.Rubbish.
Crawford, Croad, Williams, Bateman, Brown, Hodge, Osborne, Ladson, Mitchell and Sewell were all drafted before they “bottomed out” (they finished second last) in 2004. That’s nearly half their 22 in their 2008 premiership side.
They had been building that list since the 90s/early 00s and shot up the ladder after drafting Roughead, Franklin, Lewis and Young which is a generational draft haul.
The foundation was clearly there prior to 2004. Who on our list is our Shane Crawford? Sam Mitchell? Luke Hodge? Brad Sewell? We don’t have any. And if we did they won’t be there when we challenge again.
You’re vastly underestimating the existing talent on Hawks list prior to 2004 and it’s far superior to what we have.
Compare apples with apples.
given some of the names being discussed, i'm much happier doing as we are.What's funny is all this talk around Collingwood looking at such and such, Blues want a pick to get player X. GWS or Port trading players Y & Z yet the only big movers and shakers are us and we are sitting back saying absolutely nothing.
all deals go through us this yearWhat's funny is all this talk around Collingwood looking at such and such, Blues want a pick to get player X. GWS or Port trading players Y & Z yet the only big movers and shakers are us and we are sitting back saying absolutely nothing.
we still have lots to play out, incl seeing how many list spots we have etc. as for the bottom line here, i never thought we'd get an early 20's pick for Graham. so u got the wrong #.Yeah, That Geelong team must be a REAL bunch of dum-dums making their delisting's 48 hours after they lost their Prelim.
When we trade Coulthard & Cumberland, im gonna laugh real hard at their idiocy.....
It's pretty "rock bottom" when you are the last person to realise, you are no longer the smartest person in the room.
Whether they were or weren’t considered premiership quality at the time is irrelevant. The point is they were premiership quality and they were existing players on Hawthorn’s list prior to their super haul.You're definitely using the benefit of hindsight here.

I agree that it typically takes a lot longer than people think to rebuild a team, but no team coming off a dynasty has ever rebuilt with the number of 1st round picks that we'll be using in a 4-year period (2022-2025). There's still some young premiership quality players on our list and we started our rebuild 2 years ago.
Like **** it isPick 9 + 16 for Bolton is fair
Who on earth has hyped him up in the last 24 months?Honestly if I was another club I’d only offer pick 40 for Graham. That’s a fair value, I think we hype him up a lot.
Yep 9 & 10 with no TPP help, as we add more salary the extra pick gains value.Like **** it is
Exactly1,6,9,10,13- sound good!! (don't really want to waste any picks to move to #2 or #3)
- 3 x mids, there are plenty to choose from at least 10 !
- 2 x KPP, there are at least 5 to pick from
With any picks in the 20s we can look at gaps/needs or trade for a couple of mature players, like Peatling from GWS.
I suspect draft 5-6 kids 2-3 trades inbound , maybe a swap into next year tho that may come on draft night like last year where we harvest r2s to slide 2-3 spotsThe more trade week gets closer the more I feel that we will be getting pick 13 from West Coast for Baker, pick 6 & 26 from Gold Coast for Rioli (I've read we want more than just pick 6) and picks 9 & 16 for Bolton. (I'll be pissed at this one because to me pick 9 & 10 is shit)
Do i think Bolton is worth more than that? Absolutely, I feel it needs to be pick 5, do I feel we will get a little bit overs for Rioli? Yep. West Coast fans will melt about pick 13 but they still have pick 3 if they choose to split it.
We will have picks 1,6,9,16,21,26,29,39,41,47. (Not including Graham compo if he leaves)
What we do with those picks is unknown, do we make a play for the 2nd or 3rd pick? do we make a play for Brisbane's pick 17/18 (starting to think we won't need it unless we can move on some of our really late picks), or do we try and move some picks into next year for an extra 1st rounder?
Whatever happens, it's going to be a fun watch but at times I'm sure stress levels will increase when the rumours start flying.
Agree even 9 & 10 is shit. Somehow i reckon we are going to agree on 9 & 16 which will shit me.Like **** it is
Why would weSomehow i reckon we are going to agree on 9 & 16
Why would we
Also, I'm going to keep away from that Bolton thread, not long till trade week anyway. They keep bringing up comparisons that they only got 6 & 19 for Neale. Can't be bothered arguing.Why would we
Bolton is better and under contract....Also, I'm going to keep away from that Bolton thread, not long till trade week anyway. They keep bringing up comparisons that they only got 6 & 19 for Neale. Can't be bothered arguing.
It's actually quite relevant as you're claiming that we don't have the same quality as they had on our list at present.Whether they were or weren’t considered premiership quality at the time is irrelevant. The point is they were premiership quality and they were existing players on Hawthorn’s list prior to their super haul.
Do you feel we have similar talent on our list? Keeping in mind there’s a few premierships, a couple of Brownlows and a couple of North Smiths amongst the Hawthorn crop?
Also, there’s a reason why we have so many high picks. We’ve gut our last after finishing last and winning two games for the season. Expecting anything other than a wooden spoon next year is extremely optimistic.
In your mind they may be done.Calm down… deals are done
Rioli -> picks 6 & 12
Bolton -> picks 9 & 10
Baker & pick 12 -> pick 3
