A little whisper I've heard today after I was initially surprised to not see Harry Jones as one of the Hawks delistings (was told yesterday he was also going to be delisted), that somewhat ties the two above posts together.
Jones' delisting announcement has been delayed as the Hawks await more clarity closer to the FA and Trade Period.
Lets just say there's a big name Bomber who's apparently on top of their wish list.
Looking at the uncontracted players, not sure who it would be.

Out of contract: Henry Crauford, Joe Daniher, Marty Gleeson, Brayden Ham, Kyle Langford, Jayden Laverde, Andy McGrath, Irving Mosquito, Andrew Phillips, Jordan Ridley, Adam Saad, Will Snelling, James Stewart, Jacob Townsend
Most of them I don't see moving, are not big names or are already committed to other clubs. Unless it's a contracted player such as Zerrett (who I know has been rumoured to be looking elsewhere, but I don't see him moving either).
Edit: Big rumour does seem to be Zerrett, as I expected. I still think it is unlikely - Bombers would ask for more than what the Hawks should pay. May help short term, but the Hawks need to get more depth rather than trading those sort of players/early picks out for one good player.
