Good chance we have a serious look at this kid with pick 3.

Potential father-son for Hawks, but could be they can't match our bid possibly, pending their other trades? (Not sure how that all works sometimes, as the rules seem to change every year).

Quick, hard at it kid who can win his own ball but also be effective outside the contest and going forward.

Anyone know anything more about the bid-matching etc in this scenario?

    Hawks would have this in mind when doing trades. No way they wouldn't leave enough points for him. They get 20% discount on points required to match bid.

    Yep, but they might not consider him as worth as much as what we do potentially.

    Then they'd wait 2 years for his initial contract to run out and scoop him up.

    Not with pick 3.

    Why would that happen? It's not like he'd be going interstate. Plenty of sons of former players don't end up at their Dad's club.

    Hawks are in great position to get exactly what we want from draft, ive read somewhere where list manager said they are keen on a quality small forward and with father and son pick looks like they will get a classy midfielder. Even if we do a split with GWS hawks will still have pick before us.

    Pick 3 is well before the Hawks first pick...

    Yes I know it’s also overs for any small forward and same for their father son( going only on what all draft prospects articles are saying)My point was more that with pick 11 and father son they are in a great position to get the 2 type of players we are after and if we do split pick they will prob have a crack at a small forward before us.

    For sure, the only point I'm disagreeing on though is that I've heard talk we're considering him with pick 3. Could be a bolter just like Oliver was for us. Not saying it's a lock, just something I heard.

    Absolutely zero chance we make a bid at 3, I think Hawthorn will use their pick 11 before he gets bid on.

    Combine results are often overstated

    Ah right I’m with you now. You think this would give us more of a reason to split pick? As if we add him to other top prospects we could surely pick up a good prospect anywhere in top 10?! Thoughts?

    I would think if we actually are keen on him then we won't be splitting picks as then we'll definitely lose out to the Hawks. Splitting our pick for GWS first two picks still seems likely to me, but had just heard we're having a good look at Maginness with pick 3. Could be that we're weighing up the two options?

    Without giving away the exact source, can you tell us roughly where they come? 

    Source within the club, within AFL, media, current player, online forum, website?

    Adds to the veracity of "I've heard", which as you know could mean anything. Cheers.

    Fair enough question. I try to not oversell things when I post this kinda stuff, but understand where you're coming from.

    It's from just a mate who sometimes hears things, probably about a 60-70% strike rate so wouldn't call it a lock, which is why I'm putting in lots of "could be" and "potentially" into it. Has passed on some good info in the past, although admittedly usually about other clubs.

    This could possibly make it interesting...

    NO DISCOUNT FOR HAWKS ON PATTON CONTRACT

    GWS list manager Jason McCartney says the Giants will not be paying for any portion of Jonathon Patton's salary if a trade to the Hawks eventuates. Hawthorn was able to bring in Tom Scully last year for a 2019 fourth-round pick, but the Giants will be looking to bring in a better selection than that for Patton. The Hawks hold picks 11, 30 and 50 in the first three rounds of the 2019 NAB AFL Draft.

    I'm no expert on him, others may know more, but I think he's pretty quick and very good forward of centre. Both of which would be handy for us IMO.

    If we do split our pick into the teens then maybe I could see a potential bid from us perhaps. Depends if we are that interested. Heard Graham Wright I think last week who spoke about Finn and he had huge wraps on him. Hawks rate him highly and would have got excited when they saw his last Finals game. Absolutely dominated!

    Cannot see us bidding on him with pick 3 though.

    Thanks mate.  Yeh i took a good look previously.  Exciting talent off that but looks can be deceiving on these reels sometimes.  Just thought you (or someone here) might have had a good look up close.

    Not saying he's worth a pick 3 but if we happened to split the pick ... grab him around 10 to 15 or so if available.

    Gee wiz, I know it's a highlights package and all, but this kid has some seriously good traits. Speed, awareness, vision, lovely kick too.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
