Interesting that Herald Sun has Hawks leading the race, even though they are probably the furthest from a GF.

I think we have bigger needs. Pass from me.

He'd 100% improve us IMO. Genuine winger on each side.

But, not for 650k PA over 5 years...

Agree,  good player.  Great wingman but that money would be better spent on Jordon, Kossie, Sparrow ect

If you asked me 3 months ago, I'd be all in for Amon. But JJ's form stacks up against Amon. JJ averages only 1.5 possies less per game but has kicked more goals. 

I'd much rather keep Gus than pursue Amon.

JJ has been excellent this year. He deserves that wing

I wonder how much of our Amon interest is linked to plan B if Brayshaw goes. JJ has been quality and growing into role but if JJ or Langdon were injured who is next up??? I also sense longer term JJ makes his way into the mid rotation. Our game styles requires quality post to post running wingers. Other than a 21-25 year old key forward (which dont grow on trees) I see a mature wing as our most required position still.

I expect he would be 2-3 years from having the engine to play the role.

I'd like to see him on the inside to provide a touch more speed in there!

Boooo

[spirit of norm smith 16,581]

Amon walks into Hawks midfield.  Hawks have a very good young midfield developing (and backs and forwards) and then will have more low draft picks to top up their talents. 
 

I think Hawks probably offerred more $$$ which helps the decision. 
 

Amon might have got into our best 18 but wouldn’t have been a “ week in week out “ certainty.

The AFL should really publish this 'formula' so people know wtf is going on.

That pick seems petty fair for a play like Amon anyays.

[layzie 33,990]

So is he saying that if he was a year younger that might have had a first rounder? or that he's 'only' a year older than most free agents?

I don't know enough to know what fair value for Amon or someone in a similar position would be. Once upon a time Polec was apparently worth a first rounder..

i think theyre saying its the difference between an EO1st round and where it ended up at 27 weirdly

Reckon they're in a bit of trouble with their midfield.

Liam Shiels has retired and they're about to lose Tom Mitchell.

Some significant depth right there gutted without any replacement.  

[Whispering_Jack 30,610]

And with that, Amon is no longer of interest on our Trade & Draft Board.

[Sir Why You Little 37,121]

The Hawks will remain average….

Hawks looking to rebuild Mids through Ward, Macdonald and Worpel. Amon helps immediately and likely get young Bailey Humphrey or Sheezel to strengthen even further.
