If we turned down 9 and F1 if it was the final, final offer at 7.29pm Wed … well I don’t even have words.
If Hawks don’t pony up, this is an all time stuff up by Zach and his management. Legacy killer.
Intriguing what happens in the next 3 days. It’s nice to be on the other side of the fence for a change, a lot less stressful than trying to land a player.
Hirdy on 9am.
Tom Morris leaving channel 9 moving to channel 7
I thought Mitchell and Hodge were around the time they were chasing Wingard, O’Mera and Patton?
Was hoping this read
Tom Morris leaving Channel 9 moving to CHINA
Dees looking at getting 7,8 from suns in Petracca deal but losing 24 and possibly other later picks.
suns Petracca, 24
Demons 7,8
Thats a win for Demons there. and sucks for us trying to move up the board.
Morris:
- Melbourne will get 7 and 8 for Petracca if they get 24 back. Spew. Kissed on the ■■■■. Why can’t our players ever go to Gold Coast?
- Zach Merrett: expectation is that Merrett or his manager will speak to Essendon today and request a trade. Lots of chats. Merrett’s move will depend on what Essendon do. If we say no trade then they will likely go public. Expect Hawthorn to go to a third club to get more capital. Essendon will trade him if the deal is exceptional. That could look like 2 FR plus something else. Still the biggest story of the trade period. Essendon very strong. Unless something happens very soon then Zach might need to move on.
Hird saying hawks likely need a future first rounder from another club, likely to be top 10. to add to pick 9.
Merrett might need to look at other options …\
Saints asking for future first from Cats for marshall.
Might be good for us if GC need points.
We are holding firm with Merrett which is exactly what we should be doing. Notice how Hawks have gone from pick 9 final offer, to now pick 9 and F1.
We wont get best offer for him until Wednesday so until then we should be knocking the offers back
Merrett threatening to go public. DO IT I dare you.
Is Merrett?
Not sure about that. They’ll drive a hard bargain for Brayden ■■■■■■■ Fiorini but bend for everyone else.
I hope we insist on more than that as well.
Perhaps. But it could involve all sorts of picks.
They really need points with no 7 and 8 to play with.
Merrett is coming out?
Announce the time your coach swore at the playing group and it hurt their feelings.
Announce the time your teammates smiled after a loss.
The time the catering company accidentally gave you extra cheese on your sandwich.
Air your dirty laundry Zach.
According to the TR above “if the answer is no they will go public”
They just mean that they’ll announce wanting a trade publicly. Nothing is ever THAT interesting
It still sounds to me like Hawks come to the table with a very good offer and we, eventually, take it after some sort of token add on to make it look like we won.
I could do with some excitement on a Monday. I say go full public
