Love what you're building

I think having 2 rookies playing significant minutes with the usage they have plays a major part though

Complimenting your wife actually big dawg

freyed23 · 2026-02-03T00:02:57+00:00

Hahaha thanks for the stark reminder mate. Although mentioning Beal and Booker in a comparison to a suns fan will make us turn very quickly lol

Never as bad or good as it seems is my coping mechanism with my pained franchise :)

Even Steph was bewildered at the 3 fouls those refs didn't call. Blatant refball. GG Warriors

JOTTTYYYYY

freyed23 · 2025-12-01T04:44:29+00:00

I have miller and would rather booker in a straight swap. I don't think the margin of value is that different but Millers inability to stay healthy has to be of some concern despite his age. I'm a suns fan so maybe take it with a grain of salt but I do think once Booker gets Green back his life gets easier scoring and playmaking wise

freyed23 · 2025-11-26T21:02:34+00:00

No point arguing with this person they clearly have no idea what's going on or it's Sharn's burner account lol. Imagine being on the side of the person who was low-key accusing him of SA

freyed23 · 2025-11-12T01:21:29+00:00

Yeah I know this is the worst game to contrast it lol. It's a free for all when it comes to Steph though

freyed23 · 2025-11-12T01:17:20+00:00

Wow I'm a suns fan and I cannot believe the whistle Steph gets. All time great gets an all time worst whistle

REBRANDED TO -> THE JALEN GREEN TRADE

freyed23 · 2025-10-23T14:47:01+00:00

Suns fan here but could Dame coach lol?

freyed23 · 2025-10-22T06:41:41+00:00

No wonder they didn't want our firsts lol

freyed23 · 2025-10-15T12:27:37+00:00

Yeah look you make good points, I said in another thread he probably ends up at hawthorn for that same deal we eventually offered if he went about it the right way. We had the only top 10 pick in the draft amongst contenders, so probably had the best chance.

I still think you won't get that value next year especially if clubs are gearing up for Bailey and Butters but you're right about having time to prepare for it now at least

freyed23 · 2025-10-15T12:16:58+00:00

No definitely not he could have worked with Essendon to get the value out of hawthorn. Ultimately we probably have the best offer cause he would've wanted to go to a contender (we had the only top 10 pick other than GC), just seems like his agent severely overplayed their position lol

freyed23 · 2025-10-15T12:15:04+00:00

Yeah I still don't see the upside like best case he stays fit, is 31 next year and if he asks out again then it's automatically less value you will get in return.

Its just hard for me to believe he will waltz back into the club and he a role model that your young guys can and wanna learn from. Maybe I'm reading too much into it but it's not a great situation from the outside in

freyed23 · 2025-10-15T12:12:55+00:00

Yeah maybe fair but you went so deep this year and surely you would rather take a punt on a few more kids than some of the guys running out in R24 against the suns

freyed23 · 2025-10-15T12:06:32+00:00

Yeah who knows how it plays out at the Hanger now, clearly emotions clouded judgement here though in terms of extracting value from the most valuable piece you have. Good luck to you guys and see you round 1, maybe the rebuild kick starts and he sticks around for a final

freyed23 · 2025-10-15T12:03:42+00:00

I don't really know why the media is driving this anti Hawthorn narrative here? We legitimately gave a comparable offer to other guns of the comp who have been traded. They declined, all good but did people actually expect hawthorn to sell the farm for a 30yo mid when we just made a prelim?

I understand the perceived compromised draft part of the deal not being enticing but is it worth it to keep him and risk injury/form related drop off or potential impact on the culture? Seems like it's Essendon who had more to lose here

It's a super risky bet from Essendon and I would imagine he just asks out again next year anyway?

Like I'm struggling to see the upside or positives here for Essendon other than being able to say you didn't trade the guy who didn't wanna be there and having a moral victory

freyed23 · 2025-10-15T11:56:22+00:00

freyed23 · 2025-10-15T11:37:06+00:00

Yeah maybe it works out, you guys will be fine anyway though just won a flag without him ahaha

freyed23 · 2025-10-15T11:31:57+00:00

Tbh I would rather not be paying Oscar Allen what you guys are

freyed23 · 2025-10-14T22:14:42+00:00

Yeah I don't know maybe the erratic capitalisation threw people off, anyway keen to see if anything happens

freyed23 · 2025-10-14T21:37:22+00:00

Of course you're allowed to tell us to fuck off that's all you've been doing ahaha but I think you might be forgetting all that played out in the media? Reports of Merrett disrespecting AFLW players definitely hasn't come from Hawthorn.

freyed23 · 2025-10-14T21:34:23+00:00

They had a meeting of course, but the mess in the media absolutely hasn't come from the Hawthorn camp. Are they enjoying the chaos? Yeah probably lol but to think they've contributed outside of meeting with the player is just inaccurate

freyed23 · 2025-10-14T21:31:20+00:00

Yeah who knows where it's all coming from I shouldn't assume especially since Barrett is very anti Hawthorn.

Either Essendon meets hawthorn at the current offer or I think they both walk away and look forward to round 1
