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.

Perhaps they have been playing the long game

Apparently his surgeons and doctors have been on this too.

Or not.

Of course he chooses Hawthorn..

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.

Yawn Whorethorn sit back and cherry pick again....

phug i hate them so much. It goes back a long way..

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

I don't get the love for Hill. He's a nice runner in a very good side, but watch him do diddly squat at Freo. 

Hawthorn would be making out like bandits if they got pick 7 for Hill.

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

The AFL definitely stopped him going to Sydney.

Cancelled his plane ticket.

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

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

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

The AFL stopped Sydney using the allowance to inflate their salary cap.

Just buying some Margaret River Wines to take to Waverley.

I wonder what tipple O'Meara is into, surname like that probably Jamesons

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.

I hope the Suns are right pricks about this trade. Ask for the world and don't budge. 
Sorry Jaeger - best we could do was Brisbane.

I'm tired of restricted players declaring where they want to go.
