News Ollie Greaves possible NGA 2025 - AFL secret formula says no

[hawkinoz]

One could only imagine:

• we win the GF
• NGA rights to Greaves allowed after a rethink
• Blues finish bottom 3 allowing us to trade for Harley Reid
• Zac Butters flags his intentions to come to the Hawks
• Oscar Allen nominates the Hawks as FA

The natives will riot

We get Reid/Butters & have traded out of 2025 & 2026 and are left with only the last pick in 2nd round, 3rd round pick has no value anyway.
left with only last 3 picks in 2025 and we are still legally allowed to "match" a Top 5 bid on Greaves and go into deficit.

Deficit means hawks are again left with last 3rd and 4rth round picks in 2026.

An actual riot breaks out in front of AFL house and a new emergency rule is drafted that requires only HFC to have 200% points to match future bids in NGA/FS. Hawks 3rd and 4rth round picks are taken away and we are again left with last 3 picks in 2026.

This kid is a jet his hands are hustwaite levels but he’s faster and a better kick. Imagine the AFL thinking they’d thwarted us getting access to him only for Carlton and West Cost to say…

These updates are disheartening knowing we don't have priority access to him

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

These updates are disheartening knowing we don't have priority access to him

And he goes to the Bombers with Melbourne's pick

 

[Judd2Sewell]

And he goes to the Bombers with Melbourne's pick

He's pretty much the exact player their midfield needs.

 

[FB19]

And he goes to the Bombers with Melbourne's pick

Oh well a flag and pick 3 isn’t all that bad is it? nothing surer than the scum beat Melbourne this week to keep pick 2 by disheartening them even further they are quick to drop their heads

 

[ahhhhhh]

It seems that '15 year old rule' only applied to us.....

I really hope someone at the club actually has the minerals to do something. Seems like we don't though.
