Re: 2020 Player movement
A couple of items of potential interest to us:
WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD FOR SMITH?
Isaac Smith is exploring his opportunities elsewhere as the Hawks consider trading the gun wingman.
Hawthorn has a two-year deal on the table for Smith but it is understood the veteran ball-winner is open-minded about his future.
Smith will turn 33 before next season and has received some interest from Melbourne.
Hawthorn will look to give more opportunities to young Hawks James Cousins, Harry Morrison and Finn Maginness next season.
CLUBS CIRCLE SAINT LONIE
Jack Lonie has as many as four suitors – three from Victoria – as he attempts to secure a two-season deal from the Saints.
Heading into the final against Richmond Lonie had played 12 games for 46 score involvements and a dozen goals as one of the success stories for Brett Ratten’s Saints.
But he has been offered only a one-season deal and would want enough security in a two-season deal to stay put.
The Bulldogs are one of those teams keen to add some bite to their half forward line as Cody Weightman takes time to mature, with Tory Dickson having retired and Ben Cavarra having failed to make an impact after being recruited from the VFL.
WHY CLUBS ARE CRAZY FOR CALDWELL
Why is every Melbourne club chasing GWS second-year midfielder Jy Caldwell?
Because of comments like this from then-GWS captain Phil Davis, who said last year if there was anyone at the club he would give a ten-year deal to it would be Caldwell.
Caldwell has been pushed to half forward so far but GWS is aware of his special skill set, having offered him an extremely generous offer that reflects his talent.
Essendon and St Kilda are pushing hard for him but the line of clubs keen extends around the block.
Here is Davis at the start of last year: ““If I was going to put a 10-year contract in front of anyone, I‘d put it in front of Jye Caldwell. I just love Jye,” said.
“He‘s tough and he kicked this goal against Sydney the other day off two steps on the run and I was like ’That’s special’. Every now and again you get glimpses.
“I think we‘ve seen enough of Tim (Taranto) to see he’s going to be a star, but for those we haven’t seen a lot, I think Jye is something really special.”
