Bring Back Barassi

Mahoney goes on trade radio, saying, "yeah, trying to get the Hibberd deal done, thats about it, move along, nothing to see here..."

Love the man's work

Scully

The guy that got us Jesse

Tippett and Maxy sharing the ruck duties.. forward line with Jesse, Tippett and Watts as targets... elite delivery from our top shelf midfield including Lewis, Rockliff, Jones, Viney, Petracca, Brayshaw, Vince 

Dare to dream Demons... Dare to Dream... 

Looks legit to me.. 

Hill still there, but then again so are Hodge and Gibbo who will be gone after next season anyway.

Cold winds blowing through that joint.... about bloody time

Apparently off to the Suns

Love a good ouroboros - as long as we don't end up like Sisyphus

Sisyphos is not a bad option at all... been to Berlin lately ??

With Goldstein potentially heading to WCE , does that then open the door for Vardy who apparently looked a shoe-in there until the Goldy twitter announcement - who I think would be a great 2nd/3rd option for us, without having to relinquish too much in return. 

Vardy would be a great pick up for us, but hey, wouldn't Meth Coast look good in the middle with Mitchell and Goldy on board...

OK, all this talk about the Dees is good and well, but as this is the "trade whispers" thread, thought I would add I whisper I heard from a reliable source close to the club...

 

Lynden Dunne and next years 2nd round pick for Tom Rockliff. Dunne deal apparently....

Very funny man Red!

And so you just posted it on a fan site on the internet for the whole world to see with information that indicates exactly who your sources are with 2 minutes on google?  If this deal is real why would you post it now?  Why wouldn't you just calmly sit back and wait for it to happen?  Do you think it makes any difference if we know now or in 6 days?

Just FTR I don't believe you.  I'm not saying it won't happen but I don't believe this information.  I think you're making an educated guess and if it happens you'll be an internet hero and if it doesn't you'll come on here with a story of why it fell over.  Believe me if you've got previous form (and I don't know if you have) there is not one footy person who would speak to you if they knew you put their confidential information on an internet site. 

So my conclusion is that you're either a loose cannon with confidential information and no respect for those that gave it to you or you're a troll seeking some sort of notoriety from a bunch of wackers (and I include myself) on an internet site.  Great options aren't they!

This may be true, but I can tell you now Rockliff will be a Dee

He was trying to be very circumspect by saying Lewis as a contracted player is still likely to be at the Hawks next year, but it is still feels like Lewis wants to move.

 

Sounds to me like the deal is not quite done, but that Lewis wants it to be done. That would make it highly unlikely for the deal not to get done

If Pickering says its still in play, that basically means Lewis is a Dee.

This is a huge win.

WALK JORDAN, WALK !!!!

Jordan will get to the MFC by the end of trade week.

Sounds like an irreparable relationship.

Yep

He would be the perfect foil to Chunk, who carries the burden of maturity pretty much alone in the centre of the ground. Would be so valuable to the youngsters, especially at turning points in the game.

The next 12 months including the next trade week, will be the judge of whether anything culture destroying has taken place at Hawthorn. Not any interviews and speculation.

The Norks are shot. Desperation has set in... they are dumping their champs, pinning hopes on new recruits. Clear as day.

Vardy has been linked with West Coast.

 

where did you hear that ?? I am keen on Vardy, ticks all the boxes

Getting PJ on its own was an incredible gift. The guy had an unbelievable track record at Essendon and was instrumental in getting us Roos and Bartlett. His talents and skill have been the key element in putting us back on track. The AFL gave up a lot in letting him go to us, and that can't be underestimated.

You might have convinced me of the deviousness of the AFL but you haven't made out a case that we weren't stiffed. While the AFL has never outlined the precise criteria for "special assistance" it has been clear that remuneration was not the only criteria. Even if you accept the figures being bandied about, you also have to take into account other circumstances including age, player's past achievements, injury history etc. Frawley had just turned 26 when taken by the Hawks, Mayne is 2 years older and Wells 5 years older. Moreover, the whole world accepted that Melbourne was entitled to Band 1 compensation at the time. We therefore received proper compensation under the rules at the time for Frawley. We received no special assistance from the AFL when we had a worse record than Brisbane.

There's no doubt in my mind, we were stiffed by the AFL.

Us, stiffed by the AFL ?? Good god, they helped us so much it almost seems unfair. They installed Peter Jackson who was working for the AFL at the time, AND they gave us the money to pay Roosy !! They basically forced us into rehab which will be paying off in spades for the next 10 years.

What more could you ask for ?? Sheesh, the ingratitude is remarkable.

Just heard on SEN Buddy and Danger are signing a 6 year deal with the Dees for 2017

Ban me, see if i give a [censored]

It would be nice for once just once that we get linked to a big name. 

Just once is all I ask. 

Hibberd not big enough for you ??

When Bevo gave Murphy his medal, that was the most poignant moment in football I have experienced

Jesse's form this year was below expectations. Jonathan Brown speculated his value at $15m early in the season, he would be lucky to secure half that amount now or even less.

You would have to think that a strong performance this year would have a huge impact on his value.

Just doesnt make sense for him to lock in a low value now, when surely his management and he himself see his potential as greater than what he has delivered to date.

word around the traps is that Chip Frawley wants back in... wants to play finals again before he retires
