Someone said on CJ and Hustwaite were keen to come. McKenzie might even be untouchable from a Hawks perspective so doubt that
Why would clubs and player managers agree to this? Unnecessary stress on families etc.
My god if the club sticks its head in the sand and wont look at any offers ill be so annoyed. Does anyone believe zach will give 100% if he stays, itll be a constant media circus aswell.
As for that offer, hold out till the end and see if we can extract something more but tbh id be happy with that deal. Minus hustwaite.
Pick 9 is pick 9, talk of it of drifting to mid teens on draft night, who cares those players were never available to us anyways.

He might be from a Hawks perspective. Brad needs to have him over for dinner and get him to want us.
Heâd he wanted to come they might not think heâs untouchable
We need to go back to say we will accept the deal with the picks but the player needs to be Weddle. We then offer Weddle the same cash as Merrett so he demands more cash from the Hawks. End game is we destabilise them and Fark up their salary cap
We need to fight fire with fire.

he also might not be untouchable already and the Hawks are just saying that.
Youâre somehow getting even further from spelling his name properly.. 
Mackenzie.

Who was it on here that said that Hawks are only saying that Mackenzie is âuntouchableâ so they can then âcaveâ and offer him - so Essendon think itâs a bigger win?

The value of that deal is a little hard to accurately evaluate without / until knowing how the GC/ Petracca and Sydney/Curnow deals play out.
The 2025 2nd round on offer is actually Carltonâs, isnât it? Opens up other options to move up, depending on who ends up with various picks. Gold Coast are most interesting because they conceivably could be very very short on points.
Unfortunately Hawthorn âcavingâ doesnât really do anything if he doesnât want to come here.
Which it sounds is likely the case.
Hopefully itâs that and not that he is refusing to come to us.

If we took it and hadâŚ
5, 6, 9, 21, 27, 30, 31 - F1(us), F1(them), F2(us)
Itâs a pretty wild position, those 2nd rounders hold a lot of value, we can really do something good from this position.

Itâs relevant to the quality of the player youâre talking about gaining for the player youâre losing. If we had pick 3 but it got pushed back to pick 40 and we got a â â â â player it would be stupid to say âwow, I canât believe pick 3 was such a bad playerâ.
IF.
Those second rounders could end up being nothing exciting too.
If suns picks goto Dees then youâre looking at a whopping pick 10 from Blues. Who may or may not even want to trade.
Eagles probably wonât trade their top end pick.
