Hawthorn could join Richmond in race for Chris Yarran

HAWTHORN has roared into AFL trade discussions by inquiring about Carlton rebounding defender Chris Yarran.

Yarran is still intent on playing with Richmond, which continues to work with the Blues on a deal for the contracted 24-year-old.

The Herald Sun understands Hawthorn recently flagged its interest in Yarran.

The Hawks had this month flagged a barren trade period given a tight salary cap but their interest in Yarran shows they could again get deals done in coming weeks.

While they must retain key forward Ryan Schoenmakers, the retirements of Brian Lake and David Hale will clear up some salary cap room.

The Hawks also took off the table a deal for dual premiership defender Matt Suckling, who must now negotiate another deal or move elsewhere.

The loss of Lake, Hale, Suckling and potentially Brendan Whitecross to Brisbane would clear up to $1 million of salary cap space, most of which would be used on player retention.

Hawthorn chief executive Stuart Fox last month told the Herald Sun the Hawks would not be chasing the likes of Harley Bennell.

“We continue to be linked to rival players and that comes as a surprise to us,’’ he said.

“We are likely to be less active this year in terms of chasing free agents.”

The Tigers are in a strong position to secure Yarran, who they believe is the perfect addition to a side chasing rebound from defence.

Yarran finished fourth in Carlton’s 2014 best-and-fairest, with Richmond trying to acquire outside speed and defenders who can charge from defence to kick goals.

The Hawthorn model has elite ball users with pace in defence and the Tigers have prioritised that in this year’s trade period.

In 2014 he also kicked 21 goals and finished second in the AFL for running bounces, with the Tigers confident he will rediscover his zest for footy at a new club.

They will not give up their first selection — pick 12 — but if they could access a pick between 15-20 believe that is a fairer price to pay than their second-round selection.

I don't think the Hawks have enough to offer pick wise or player. Who knows though, the worse thing this does for us now though is push his price up. But we need to stick fat and only offer the second rounder.

Jon Ralph on SEN:

Richmond heard Hawthorn were interested in Yarran. So Ralph contacted Yarran's manager and he confirmed the Hawks had contacted them. Just an enquiry and there was no contract offer. Yarran's "people" told Hawthorn that discussions with Richmond are already a fair way down the track and Richmond is where he wants to go to.

Chris Fa-gan has shot down Jon Ralph's reports that the Hawks could snap up Chris Yarran, declaring the club would be unlikely to do anything in this trade period due to a very tight salary cap – even after the retirements of Brian Lake and David Hale.

Instead, the Hawks will turn their attention to their kids, hoping they can step up to lift the club to a fourth consecutive flag.

Hawks don't need Yarran.

Hale and Lake gone.

Ceglar, Schoenmakers and Spangher ready to come straight in.

Blokes like Hartung gearing up to replace Hodge/Mitchell.


Talk about great list management...

Chris Yarran (Carlton)

Where's he going?
Long linked to Richmond, Yarran seems destined to make his way to the Punt Road next season if the two clubs can work out a deal. Hawthorn was linked to the classy Blue, but he will only meet with the Tigers, dismissing interest from the premiers.

How will he get there?
Another early-Spring standoff has developed, with the Blues adamant that Yarran is worth the Tigers' first pick (No.12). The Tigers' second-round pick is No.31, which would seem unders for the 24-year-old.

The answer could be Richmond's pick No.12 and No.31 for Yarran in exchange for Carlton's pick No.20.


Of course, if Ben Lennon walks, which is highly unlikely, then he might become mixed up in the deal.
