Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

[Strapping Young Lad]

A word from our King….

 

[grumbleguts]

Hawthorns idea of a fair offer and WC's idea of a fair offer is vastly different.
Hawthorn courted a contracted player and overs should be paid-up.

Look under the couch, there's 20 cents. Now pick it up, go into town and buy yourself a f**king clue.

As the dust settled on a frantic deadline day, four clubs were not even close to a pass mark.

Ch 7 rated us 8/10. Pretty good for us!

The Cherry on top is Essendon's rating.

2/10

No wonder they haven't won a final in 20 years..

Interesting to see that the WCE board would have resoundingly preferred our future picks over Carlton's.

That's probably due to the psychological damage done when the Carltank reserves smashed them at the end of the season.

Mate we had a D+ rating and won a final within two years, their rating system is laughable.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

We currently have 2 future 4ths now worth no points each…

Bow down to King Sleepy

The part where they said carlton had plenty of small fwd options without owes. Didn’t they trade kennedy out too?

A word from our King….

He’s been deep in a situation where hawks, eagles and blues think they came away winners
It’s like the value came from nowhere
Just don’t mention pick 3

Real shame DGB didn’t work out for the HFC.

The only real blot on the post Clarko trading

Actually it was under clarko, but he was os at the time

 

[peetoo]

Hawks had the 5th lowest points against in 2024, just 27 more than the lowest.

It’s going to be tight as a drum back there, so less need to fold back to support the defence

First year in 20 of Matt Rosa as Scum list boss and they lose the trade period. Reaction…

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

I do too wonder if we'll try trading back in this year. Doubtful but it will be interesting.

On Essendon, they're on the right direction. Cleaning out the junk is going to take time. Dildodoro hurt them

Yeah ironic Essendon lose the draft period when they start making sense. Don’t think Bummers fans will care much about the rating

So when does this thread turn into 2025 Hypothetical trades?

Who are we after?

I gotta say, this is hilarious.

We got a free agent (Battle) for nothing and made a decent trade for a guy (Barrass) who also wanted to come to us.

Nothing more complicated or challenging than that.

The club performing much better in 2024 had plenty to do with this, but it’s a very good outcome which probably didn’t require Mark’s heartbeat to rise above 50 at any stage.

The media are sleeping on the improvement in our young players to come.

The addition of these guys will take us up a notch also.

Plus I'm wrapped we got to keep players like Serong, Reeves, Morrison, Finn, Frost. All brought up in potential trades. All wanted to stay. They know.

Our depth is one our the things that i am most confident in. I keep seeing some people already suggesting (hoping) we could have a big drop off if we get injuries next year. Yet i think we are in a better position to cover injuries than most clubs in the AFL.

I haven't done a best 22 yet but just at a rough guess i think you can make a case that Morrison, Reeves, Frost, CJ, Serong, Finn, Blanck, Mitchell are all AFL quality players that may not be best 22 (hard to tell with Frost and CJ). That is also assuming Ward cements a best 22 spot which would mean another established best 22 player would come out as quality depth. That is also assuming none of our young players outside the best 22 step up as well.

I think other clubs have a best 22 just as good or maybe better (Brisbane, Swans, Carlton). I think where we can separate ourselves to some of those clubs especially a Carlton is our depth.

[mustang]

Richmond will 100% trade out some of their firsts for next year's to get an even spread. Not sure if it will be with us though. Can only hope.

We don't have a F3 anymore, don't you need one of these to trade your F1 and F2.

 

[Rowie6]

Quite simple
Smith uncontracted
Barrass contracted

Also key position guns are harder to get!

Reckon we gave F123, but dropped the choice of clubs making it ours only

I was literally just about to post the same thing.

You can see our ability to cover injuries and how that has progressed since 2022. In 2023 we were in strife if we missed any important players, early 2024 similar, late 2024 we were winning important games and a final despite missing arguably our best forward, one of our 2 best midfielders, in addition to our first choice rotating mid. Not to mention almost making a prelim without Frost as well.
