Trade Rumours 2024

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

It was a tongue in cheek comment regarding their jumper, not their list.
Things can turn fairly quickly…hawks are confident…a few big losses and that could change. I don’t think their list is a top 8 list, and I doubt anyone would’ve picked them to finish any higher than 12th this year. Me included.
I guess we shall see where both these teams are in 3-4 years time.

Yeah their jumper sucks. Although the future is never certain you are picking Hawthorn over St Kilda in the coming years 99 times out of 100. I don't think it would really have been a difficult decision for Battle.

Josh Battle also confirmed he will be signing with hawks.

I did read somewhere that they're going to be paying somewhere around the figure we paid Tim English. I hope that is wrong for their sake but if true, good luck!

I haven't read what Hawthorn signed him for, but I did hear that the Saints offered him 950k per year!

Yeah 6yrs at 950k from the saints which he turned down. Apparently signed for less with the hawks whilst telling saints fans he wants to move on as he's got a young family!

Everyone wants to be the next Brian Lake.

Not a glowing endorsement for Ross the Boss.

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

Rioli, Baker and Bolton all have requested trades.

Talk about fleeing the sinking ship.

Hope Katie Brennan enjoys being with a loser club!

Apparently Richmond fans think that should net them 4 first rounders. Bolton is worth 2. GCS will pay up for Rioli because they have to do that to get players in and with the Hardwick factor.

It is clearly a very strange market for tall defenders at the moment. I wonder if any clubs are talking to Gardner?

I doubt it but wouldn't blame him for looking elsewhere. I like him as depth though, with Keath likely retiring and Jonesy getting on. I can see him getting a call up and doing a job if we're desperate. Also seems like a ripping team man, evidenced by him playing forward in the VFL and making a good fist of it despite it not being his ideal position.

I like having Gardner on the list for a few reasons and given he has a contract until the end of 2026 I'd be surprised if we would allow him to leave unless it was for a regular senior gig and that is unlikely. With Keath likely to retire I hope we keep him.

Great to see future team mates enjoying a laugh.

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

Treloar seems like a really good fella all round, I don’t understand how GWS or the pies let him go , the ultimate proffesional and very loyal person. I understand the cash problem at pies but I’m sure I would have let others go before him.

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

Houston has said he's not going anywhere so that puts that to bed.

In other words, Melbourne are a train wreck and no one else wants me.

Everyone would want him, but not for the 2 first round picks Port are demanding. He could probably force their hand to accept less if he wanted to but I guess he's not that homesick.

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

With some of the (fanciful) trade ideas floating around for the Richmond players that want out, I wondered if we could get involved in them in order to extract a better pick for Smith.

Seeing Baker extract more value than we'd get for Smith would be hard to accept. Even Rioli and Bolton delivering 2 first rounders and us getting like pick 20 and a 2nd for Smith would be a kick to the nether region.

It sucks our star mids seem to want to play for teams with no draft capital. But can Power hook into these tiger deals??

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

I'm still relatively new to the forum so pardon me if this is a silly question, but do we have any posters on Woof with a link to inside knowledge regarding trade and list management stuff that share from time to time? Only asking because it's not often we see those kinds of posts, and it's mainly info from BF and other areas that is shared chinese whispers style.
