Hawthorn have a problem coming up with not using enough first round picks in a certain period of time I was told. The reason we are in the frame is the Hogan deal. Plain and Simple. Im not saying we will get him or its over the line. But we are the second team that is being reported.

All I will say at this stage is what I was told yesterday morning: 1. Scully was also told the same thing as Dylan Shiel. Scully didnt take kindly to this. GWS still need to clear cap space. 2. Scully's put the feelers out. We were keen. 3. This was discussed by people within the club yesterday with little resistance. Only one person with in management was dead set against the idea. 4. Three way trade involving Fremantle, GWS & Melbourne had preliminary discussions after the initial Fremantle offer for Hogan was declined. Lobb, Scully, Hogan and a flurry of picks have been discussed. Melbourne are trying to get their hands on 5 (which is public knowledge) to get May done and GWS are looking to find a suitable deal to clear Scully off their books. 5. Hawthorn have been deep into Scully for two weeks now and have had discussions with Hawthorn about a trade. GWS dont think Hawthorn have the currency to suffice them.

This is a serious chance of happening. Not naming sources. But this is a very, very serious chance of happening.

Cam Rayner! Might not be what we need, but by god, he is a serious talent.
