2016 Silly Season, Trades and Rumours and utter BS

[Jim05]

Sounds like very mature discussions by all 3 parties. I'd be stoked if we got the eagles 2nd round pick, more likely to be a 3rd. The salary cap room is the main thing

Being on the Veterans List not much of his wage would be in the salary cap


That said he is not going anywhere

Veterans list only accounts for about $125k I think. Mitchell would still be on $400k plus at the Hawks I'd think

[Jase]

I tend to think it will come down to where the Crows think they are in the premiership window, he is probably their 5th forward but has lots of upside.

If the crows believe they can win it next year with Gibbs anyone who isn't a guaranteed walk up could be available

IMHO the Crows have historically always grossly overestimated their squads ability

Adelaide's window is as open as it is ever going to be and the addition of Gibbs makes them a scary prospect for the next couple of seasons.

I think their fringe players have enough talent to fill the gap left by whoever they have to offload to obtain Gibbs, I'd be keeping McGovern though and looking at one of there many running players that don't lay many tackles.

And the Blues would say no thanks and try again. We have enough players that don't tackle (actually we did improve in that area in 2016)...

We'll have a tall and draft pick thanks.

Thought it was 50% of their contact

Yu guys should be looking at Harry Deer. I have seen a bit of him in the SANFL and ge looks like a good one. Big young key forward that you guys need.

You can keep Deer then and we'll have McGovern.

Mcgovern will spend 3 or 4 years in Melbourne become a free agent then move back to perth hes not a long term recruit. Carlton will eventually lose him too

I don't think anyone on here has double standards as high as yours.

At least i have standards, not sure if any port people do, 1990, 2007 and all that

Interestingly Dear wasn't father son'd by Hawthorn. He's a Vic boy though and I don't see much point in our situation of picking non Vic kids up!

The women's draft is currently on, do we need a thread for it or will this post cover the interest?

I see GWS snatched Nicola Barr with the #1 pick.

I'd give her 1 as well.

Good to hear CEY is going to stay at the Crows next year.

Hawks get Mitchell and the swans just get pick 14

[Jim05]

Swap of some late picks or something also isn't it?
Hawks paid unders IMO

[gadj1976]

A win for the Hawks I think.

[MW]

Big win for the Hawks
Makes Gibbs for 13 look more than fair
