I've seen a couple of deals mooted for us, don't know how real they are but both a heading in the right direction imo .
Collingwood want our 38 and 40 and will give up 38 for Lipinski. They are offering their 27 but we want something else as well.
Adelaide are considering their pick 4 to us because they want our 7 and 15 and will give the 15 for Dawson. Again we want something else back on top of the 4.

this, along with the alleged monster offer for NMFC's number 1, tells us we are interested in the first handful of picks and that pick 7 (9) won't cut it.
wonder who we want from that top echelon.
happy with the approach, as we need an elite midfielder.
I was thinking with the Lipinski deal maybe we can get the Dogs’ 23 and they slide back to 27 and Collingwood can give them 38 and another late pick as a sweetener.
No way Adelaide get 7 & 15 for just pick 4 as it’s only a three pick upgrade and realistically won’t even end up a top five pick. I would expect their 2nd from next year or maybe even Melbourne’s future 1st.
Will pick 4 (6) cut it Carter ? Makes me think we have some particular player in mind or if we think someone will slide
Salary Cap issues Zips
Last edited:
They will get hawthorn to pay as long as they get a pick under 20.
They won't be on 700k at Punt rd.
Similar to Treloar, Bulldogs 440k the rest Collingwood
More then 350k/350k.
Especially if it's pick 15 and 34.
The more picks the lesser salary.
From AFL.Com, although still just speculation.
Hawthorn has ample salary cap room and would be able to fork out a portion of Wingard's wages for the remaining two years of his contract, though would likely request a premium draft pick in return to help kickstart the club's rebuild under new coach Sam Mitchell.
It could see the Hawks ask for pick No.13 in exchange for Wingard, though any deal would hinge on the Giants convincing the player of a move to a third AFL club.
Just instesting to see us offer 3 picks *quality picks on an kid.
We have never offered 3 picks and we remember the last time we offered 2 what happened.
The trading of 2 or more picks for 1 player has been a complete disaster for clubs, i can't think of one that has been a success.
Ive got a couple hat have been failures.
Tim Kelly, Jezza, Shields, Treloar
Honestly, the AFL giving such freebies to GWS and GCS over these past few years, including ongoing Academy concessions and in the case of GC, more priority picks, ... just means these clubs can make more ongoing stupid decisions that benefit other clubs.
It annoys me I have to confess, b/c it means they can be wasteful in their decision making whilst other clubs benefit.
Why would GWS bother to take Lobb back after he pissed off out of there on a 5yr $700k deal. Even if he takes less, he is not gonna help them win a flag.
Wingard at 29 next year and giving up pick 13 *smile* me I have to admit - what a freebie for the Hawks that pick 13 is. Whether they pay his wages or not.

100% they will fork out salary also.
There's no club out there that can fit in a player on 500k let alone 700k.
I will expect hawthorn are trying to get a group of 5-6 ,kids to come in a learn together under Mitchell.
That's why they are off loading.
Wingard is a quality footballer.
He would be good in a team fighting for a flag.
If i rated Hawthorn's fire sale.
5. Gunstan.
4. Bresut
3. Mitchell
2. Omeara
1 Wingard.
Norman Gunston's back is stuffed and Bruest is finished as a quality player. Wingard is quality but flakey and inconsistent and also not the player we need.
Mitchell and O'Meara are the only ones I would even consider
The only one I can think of is unfortunately the Ottens trade which netted us Danny Meyer and Adam Pattison
This is the only one. We missed out on Kelper Bradley at 6 and Sam Bulter at 20 and picked up Alex Gilmore at pick 21The only one I can think of is unfortunately the Ottens trade which netted us Danny Meyer and Adam Pattison
Nathan Brown cost us,

Wingard is a quality footballer, however, my take on him, is he has a pea heart. He isn't the kinda player that suits us. Yeah, his best football is great, but it' doesn't happen enough. Port knew it and Hawthorn tried to fix it, they were somewhat successful, but he ain't cured.
