The Hawks are going to fall off the cliff next year.. They have zero A grade mids on the list once Hodge, Mitchell, Lewis and Burgoyne retire.

Strange choice for O'Meara.

 

 

They are all going around again next year Stevie. Might not be next year. They will bring in O'Mera who what do you know (like Burgoyne) his knee will bounce back, maybe Mitchell, then next trade period bring in some others and keep on playing finals footy. They need a fwd, without Roughy they have not been the same team.

A fit O'Meara could take us from possible finalist to possible flag chance.

Sometimes you need to play the percentages and others you need to pull the trigger. 

Must have a close look at him.

 

Why, how many times have you seen him play in the last 2 years?  Being a top draft pick doesn't necessarily equate to being an instant star, we as a club should know that

Freo trade Pick 3 to GWS for McCartny & Pick 7

Freo trade Pick 7 to Hawthorn for Hill & Pick 14 or 16 (dependent on if they loose this week or next week)

Hawthorn trade Pick 7 & Langford to Gold Coast for O'Meara

Hawthorn trade 2017 1st Round Pick & Schoenmakers to Sydney for Mitchell plus a 2nd or 3rd Round Pick in either draft.

Sadly I can see it happening.

Delete this post immediately before someone from Hawthorn sees it Angry!

Winning the Rising Star gives you an ok chance though...

If the Suns think he's worth two top 10 picks then i will be very interested to see what the Hawks think they have to give up for him.

How do they (the Hawks) do it. The trade blows ones mind but then you move to salary cap for a top team full of top grade players.

Amazing !!


Don't forget that, with Hawthorn's age profile, most of their older players cost them nothing in the salary cap. Like Geelong, they take advantage of the Veterans allowance, which allows a huge chunk of their wages to fall outside the salary cap. That means Mitchell, Hodge, Lewis, etc. cost them very little.

And as for them "falling off a cliff," unfortunately Geelong showed this year that you can prolong the inevitable by topping up with a few handy midfielders.

O'Meara is just as good as Dangerfield when fit, and far younger.

It's sad that it's come to this, but I have to agree. Hawthorn will still end up picking him up for pick ~13-15 or so, which is an absolute bargain if he ever gets healthy.

I think they will offer players to GC and a pick.

Hill is not worth pick 7; Freo will get McCartney now for next to nothing & Langford is not worth a first rounder (GCS want two for O'Meara); are the only issues I see here.

Sydney will want picks, not Schoenmakers, and Hawthorn's late first round pick is probably not low enough. Plus with O'Meara, I cannot see Hawthorn affording both.

I am actually surprised that Hawthorn are into him, the due diligence on his injury recovery must be positive, they are not a team to take risks with recruiting    still wait and see though


I think I am almost at the stage of trading my life-long hatred of anything Carlton, with an emerging hatred for all things Hawthorn. I hope they fall off the cliff very hard very soon and they do a Richmond - no finals for 2 decades, or at least only losing ones.

Agree Hill is not worth Pick 7, that's why there would be another 1st Rounder coming with him.  Hawthorn have already said they want a 1st Round Pick & Freo have no 2nd Rounder to try and use.

Also agree Langford is not worth a 1st Round Pick, but a mature midfielder & Pick 7 is probably a lot closer to currency for O'Meara given he hasn't been on the park in 2 years.  Two top 10 picks is dreaming.

As for Sydney, they're desperate for tall defenders & a 1st Round Pick to go with him is what they would want one would think.

You know, the media will immediately say that happens because the Hawks players play for less. Oh and yes, I grew 3 feet taller yesterday and then flew around the back yard.

They do take risks 'Sat', think Garlett...very much a risk that didn't pay off.

There were another couple but I can't remember names.

Not all they touch turns to gold.

I think they are punting now, at the end of an era and not a lot of currency apart from the destination factor.

They haven't been game enough to make the big calls, going for one more flag might have just tipped them over.

I don't see Mitchell (Sydney version) as a saviour of their midfield, to me he is a vanilla kick getter and not much more. O'Meara fit is a jet but as we've seen with Trenners, 2 years out is a big ask.

Hopefully out of it this Friday night, straight sets and then the on the slide.

I don't think there's any player that comes out and says where they want to go that's not already been in touch with the destination club to see if it can be done and if they're interested.

I just hope that GCS dig their heels in on O'Meara like GWS did with McCarthy.

Mind you, the PSD is a pointless tollgate for these players who state they will only play at their preferred destination club because preceeding clubs won't waste a pick on them.

The whole system is flawed.

They also traded for Shaun Burgoyne, who supposedly had bone on bone in his left knee.  His knee woes were well documented at the time.

Do you think a fair bit of mayonnaise was put on Burgoynes and possibly now JO'M knee troubles to assist in the negotiating?

Pretty sure the practice is rife amongst several clubs.

 

Hawks can have him. Injury is a serious concern. Not worth the risk IMO. Not only won't O'Meara be the player that he was before injury, but it is highly likely he will break down again (and because of this injury). If talks break down between GC and Hawthorn, I hope we don't entertain O'Meara. We don't need to take the risk.

It's all bluff, most players won't sit out a year or more if they don't like the club that drafted them.

If Hawthorn are not going to get pick 7 for Hill, then how does this deal work then??

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
