You seem to be really concerned that A grade players have rejected us - I wouldn't be too worried, no use selling the farm for guys like Windgard who has been just as bad as Dahlhaus in the past two years.
I for one think, under Bevo, we have traded in some very good players that have filled our needs as the young group develops.
Hamling was a delisted free agent and Trengove was a restricted free agent. Neither of their clubs wanted to keep them.

Not sure your point here? Both worked out pretty well and they came from another club.

I believe Geelong wanted to rookie Hamling.

Re: The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018
I have just now adopted an optimistic mindset that our club is just water tight and more stealthy than everyone else.
The tumbleweeds coming from our club during this trade period so far is because nobody can figure out our genius master plans and no information leaks out. We have so many sneaky irons in fires and will strike when the time is right.
Seriously though, why do people think that just because nothing is being reported that nothing is happening? Have seen people on FB and BF especially completely melting down and labelling Sam Power a failure already. Strange stuff.

Wingard has been light years ahead of Dahl in the last 2 years.
We are good at identifying fringe players for need, but we are poor at nailing high profile trades. That is irrefutable based on the last 3 years of targeted players and lack of success bringing them to the club. We’re certainly not the Lone Ranger there.

Personally i'm glad we haven't got Wingard, as we would have to give up too much to get him. Should not be trading pick7 for anything

Unlike others, I am not concerned about bringing in high profile players. If we get one , fantastic.

Well if we are keeping 7, that's us pretty much done for the trade period of any substantial player trade incoming.

How about Pick 7 and Adams to Brisbane for Pick 5?

You said we've traded in role players and named three free agents to prove it. Suckling was a free agent as well BTW, but Hawthorn wanted to keep him to a certain degree.

But they'd already delisted him from the main list, so their interest in him was at least minimal.

Negativity and anxiety are much easier positions to take than hope and trust. Emotional intelligence comes into it. Doomsdayers are a dime a dozen.

Bout right . Certainly not worth the hand wringing that some are going on with . Fair play to Hawthorn though they’ve addressed needs with let’s be honest fringe players i.e Guerra, Hale amongst others with gems like Gunston ( whom we were in for) McEvoy Lake and Gibson .

Well, the free agency window has officially closed. Nothing for Liberatore or Roughead?
