Trade talk, rumours & innuendo 2024

[Andyy]

Probably just warding off other clubs, keeping some leadership on the list.

I'm happy about it.

Broad signed on. Good signing imo. We’re gonna see a lot of experience go out the door, need to hang on to a few senior players.

Another spud signed up.  Blair is potato farming at the moment.

Who thinks broad is a spud ? You must be alone on that one

[Assange Tiger 😎]

Yeah, I didn't see the need for signing him for an extra year beyond his current deal but he's not a spud. Has been a good player over time.

[Andyy]

Ageing but not a spud.

Doubt he'd be on more than 300-400k.

I reckon he probably has a deal for 25 and they just said let's add 1 more year for 200-300k and spread it out.

Will take him to retirement and he's a good bloke for the club.

[Chuck17]

Stuff me some people are harsh, broad has been a more than serviceable player over the years.

Considering he was a 67 pick if you re did the 2015 draft he would be top 30 probably pushing into the top 20.

Well said Chuck, this time of year is summarised  by let  sell your best players for picks that might get a dud and recruit players who can’t get a game using your best picks, imagine how good we would be if our club made all their decisions based on posts on this site , we would be relegated from the AFL  🤮😭😳

Showed loyalty to the Club. Stayed when the club is in dark times. Good on him.

Agreed. We need that sort of character around. I’m all for the rebuild
But we simply must keep some experience. Broad will be excellent for the young defenders

[Andyy]

He's also given us 5 premiership medals.

Never forget.

Anyone thinking he wasn’t our best performer in the 2017 grand final just doesn’t understand the “bigger picture”

What a time to be alive. The streets will never forget Broadys efforts.

[TigerLand]

Freo losing to cats was enormous. Freo a huge chance to miss the 8 now and finish 9th or 10th. Meaning they will have picks 9, 10 and where ever Port finish say they lose an away prelim pick 15/16.

Id take picks 9 and 10 for Bolton. Could play hardball with them but I'd do the trade. Rioli id be more inclined to keep and Baker if we can get a mid first round depending on contract we have done well.

[Francois Jackson]

In the 2022 trade period, Hawthorn moved veteran midfielder Jaeger O’Meara to Fremantle in exchange for a future-second round pick and ruckman Lloyd Meek.

They then packaged that future-second round pick along with a future-third and pick 27 in order to trade up on draft night and select Josh Weddle.

This is an example of great trading. I put hopper in the same category as Omeara, albeit a worse player.

What would a club give up for hopper? We don't need him so why keep him.

[Diocletian]

According to Twomey we've made Slowham an offer to stay and it's 50/50.....
