Trade period 2021
- Thread starter zippadeee
- Start date
Agree Sin. GWS obviously think they are close to a flag - which is prob true TBH - so what's another early pick to give away. pick 13 for a player with 1-2 years left at most.
"Luke Breust is keen to stay, but that hasn't meant that GWS hasn't asked the question in the last 24 hours" - Twomey
"I'm led to believe that a trade was almost agreed upon between the Hawks and the Giants. But the sticking point was that Breust said no" - Beveridge.
Ok that might help explain it. B/c 13 on its own seems overs.
Anyway, supposedly not happening.
I just also heard GWS rejected the Bombers offer of a F2 for Hill.
You were right Rok.
The Age reporting:
Under a deal being thrashed out on Wednesday Hawthorn would have got pick 13 from GWS for Breust with the Hawks also handing over pick 24. There was also an exchange of later draft picks being discussed, but the guts of the deal would have seen the Hawks effectively slide in from pick 24 to 13.
Not sure about that. We were last for clearances this year per opposition and either 2nd last or last in the previous 3 seasons, that's 4 years in a row. I don't think Soldo will be as a bigger influence as some seem to make out. Our game was always to give up the first clearance if necessary and pressure the secondary receiver and push forward hard on the rebound. The rule changes for 2021 absolutely smashed our game plan and the players we've recruited for that game plan. I don't see having both Nanks and Soldo as lumbering type ruckmen necessarily being an advantage at all.
I'll be pleasantly surprised if we're vying for a top 4 spot next year.
Yep. Until the system adjusts to the new reality of the reduced salary cap there will be less moves because few have cap space. That is going to take a while until contracts signed before the cap reduction are mostly finished.
Who is the biggest name to move this year ? Cerra and Dawson ? Pretty mundane really
If this trade period is not enough to end Gilligans reign for good then don't know what will
Did Blair convince North that it was OK to give up their future 2nd for CCJ because they would be able to get StKilda’s future second for Xerri or did they just come up with it all on their own?Reckon the Roos will look stupid with Xerri.
They want a future 2nd involved, most probably what will happen, is he doesn't play a lot in 2022. Is out of contract, traded next year to the Saints for like Pick 60.

I'm really pleased the AFL is investing heavily in 'Deadline Day'.Much better idea than distributing money to the clubs so they can employ people to do productive stuff.
Need to ditch Continental Tyres as the sponsor and get Bendix Brakes on board.
