List Mgmt. Will the Hawks end up landing a big fish? Trade and FA news discussion of Hawthorn targets

[Gene Simmons]

There's gonna be 4 big names (Lynch, McGovern, Sloane, Gaff) set to dominate the airwaves during 2018.

Question is who (if any) would you want the Hawks to make a play for?

Gaff?

 

[Gene Simmons]

Gaff?

Added Gaff

 

[MrPremiership]

Ollie Wines off contract......

Ollie Wines off contract......

I wasn't aware of that... Maybe I'll add another option on the poll for any other player not on the list

 

[PenAndPaper]

I would love us to make a play for any of them. Can't see any of them being able to get here though

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Won’t happen.
We have the right mix of mature players, so more likely to hit the draft

 

[sven_inc]

Maybe not a single big fish...

This thread seems familiar...

It is hard to say at this time of the year.

Hearing Clarko talk about last year and how once we were 1-6 or what ever we were he decided to change plans and not even worry about finals. The goal changed and he wanted to prepare for our next tilt. If we finish the year in the top 8 or top 4 and think one of these players could be the difference between us contending or not, i think we will find a way to get them to the club.

If we struggle and don't have the season that many of us think we can have, the club may look to a different direction and focus in on what is a very strong draft. No point throwing huge money at McGovern if we are going to end up bottom 4 at the end of the season (imo), we would be better off hitting the draft and focusing in on when our next window would be.

 

[MrPremiership]

Based on last years thread, this is going to get to 50 odd pages, we will be linked to anyone and everyone from Tom Lynch to Majak Daw.

And we won't sign anyone.

Guerra, Dew, Gibson, Gunston, Burgoyne, Hale, Lake, McEvoy & Frawley all disagree with your approach

We did actually sign someone last year though

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Why only one option available in the Poll?

 

[MrPremiership]

Why only one option available in the Poll?

Well, you couldn't possibly land 2 young star players in 1 off season.
Like JOM and Mitchell.

 

[Gene Simmons]

Apologies, fixed now - excuse me as I am a Poll novice

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

I'll take any of the quartet...

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Quite simply we have to.

 

[RIOLINWITPUNCHS]

I think there is every chance we will trade for a player who we identify as a need who isn't necessarily a big fishy ala Impey.

Doubt we go after any of the one's mentioned unless we can get Gaff as a FA.

Fair but we brought in a lot of those players when we were in a premiership window. If the club thinks we are going down before going up we may decide that going big on a free agent/trade may not be best for the club.

I think we will be every chance to be top 8 anyway but i think it is just a point to look at.

 

[madhawksfan]

I can see us chasing and acquiring Gaff as he would not break the bank.

Lynch would be amazing but unlikely given his asking price.

Ollie Wines is another we should pursue but unlikely he leaves Port if they have success this season.

MCGovern is not as a high of a priority as we have Sicily now playing a similar role.

Sloane would be a great get but again unlikely to leave.

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

I've been hoping we go for and get Gaff since last years trade period.

We'll be screaming out for Gaff by the end of the year, desperate for his run.

Affordable, FA and already interested in coming home.
