I don't think we're that far off it either.Animal Enclosure wrote:The Hawks window is well & truly open for the next few years, Goose would make them instant contenders. Would absolutely effing hate that to happen though.
we only just missed the finals despite having a first year coach and a club that was in turmoil for the first half of the season.
i don't remember seeing where we were in rebuilding mode.
keep goose and we'll be contenders too

we want a player as good as goose is now ... not someone who is surplus to requirements. goose isn't surplus to requirements anyway. you saw how our defence fared in the first part of the season without himwoooosaints wrote:dont know but i mean as an example a quality young backman who is surplus to a team like graham
we were 4 and 7 at the turn

nobody is going to swap goose for a quality backman think realisitic players who are 21/22 defenders out of sides because theyre are better players.bigcarl wrote:we want a player as good as goose is now ... not someone who is surplus to requirements. goose isn't surplus to requirements anyway. you saw how our defence fared in the first part of the season without himwoooosaints wrote:dont know but i mean as an example a quality young backman who is surplus to a team like graham

why would we do that when goose is part of our best goal-to-goal line-up.woooosaints wrote:nobody is going to swap goose for a quality backman think realisitic players who are 21/22 defenders out of sides because theyre are better players.
if they want him imo they'd have to give us a player as good as him and they simply don't have one.
you know why. good (potentially great) chbs don't grow on trees. there aren't too many of them around.

i might have this totally wrong, but i think we do have some choices if he doesn't sign.
please correct me if i'm wrong, but he doesn't necessarily get to go where he wants to go if we decide to play hard ball does he?
for example what is to stop us offering him to the eagles as part of a trade involving judd.
or
offering him to carlton as part of a trade for fevola.
or
we doing a deal with richmond for some high draft picks.
what i'm saying is that we must lose him it is incumbent on the club to make sure we get something just as good back.
not just roll over and give him to hawthorn for some dud who won't measure up.
perhaps someone who knows more about the drafting, trading rules can enlighten me on what our options are ... what we can and can't do

He has to agree to go to another club otherwise he can just go in the PSD. We cannot send him where he doesnt want to go because we get a good trade.
Goose will not go to Hawks
Foget Goose going to Hawthorn. Forget any player going to the Hawks for that matter.
An injunction prevents me from saying why.

huh? what does that mean?cazper66 wrote:Foget Goose going to Hawthorn. Forget any player going to the Hawks for that matter.

If there was a incident with a single player at that club I don't see why that would stop a player going there.

i see. that makes it a bit harder. thanks for that. sorry woosaints, i can see what you are getting at now. i have a poor understanding of the trading rulesplugger66 wrote:He has to agree to go to another club otherwise he can just go in the PSD.

it's all hypothetical, but are we allowed to do a deal with richmond? They'd be hoping like hell he went into the PSD. they could give us a couple of high draft picks to ensure it
