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

 

I didn't say they wont get Pick 7, I said he alone isn't worth Pick 7, that's why it would be Hill & Pick 14 or 16 for Pick 7.

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

No.  Not with Burgoyne.  

And certainly not with O'Meara.  He hasn't played for 2 years because of his knees.

My understanding from a couple of years ago was TS knee would never come good. He'd be a very good player ATM with a good knee then.

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.

Everything about Garlett 'seemed' good, through contacts I had, was 'willing and ready' to give red hot crack, didn't work out, but they didn't lose much

The AFL won't get involved. Last time they interfered in a trade they stopped Frawley going to Sydney (because of the perception Sydney was doing too well out of free agency) so Frawley instead went to Hawthorn (obviously there is no perception Hawthorn is doing too well out of free agency).

Frawley was going to Fremantle until Hawthorn stepped in

Cancelled his plane ticket.

But not the one to Fremantle where he was seen at least twice before Hawthorn stepped in

By preventing the Swans from using their bonus living allowance to trade for players.

You mean the same allowance they used on Tippett and Franklin?, Frawley was a free agent, not trade

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.

Let's face it King, it's Hawthorn, so given their luck he'll be fit as a fiddle and won't miss a game for the next five years.  If he'd come to Melbourne he would have broken down in the first training session and never played again #MFCSS

Come on we have turned the corner now, he says avoiding ladders, mirrors and clutching his rabbit foot and four leaf clover, we had 40 odd ready to go last weekend of the season

By my reckoning Frawley is the only player Hawthorn have got from free agency.  All of the others have been trades.  

Hawthorn are obviously a "destination" club, but they haven't benefited much from free agency.  They lost on Franklin leaving under the same system.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
