โWe know a lot of things go up on the whiteboard, and thereโs a lot of spit balling, but I can tell you that Geelongโฆare going after Luke Breust," Edmund said.
โGeelong would have to give something up to get Luke Breust in because heโs contracted for next year, but they have got their standards a glut of picks โ I think theyโve got three first-rounders,โ Edmund said.
โIt gives them wriggle room to trade a first-round pick. Theyโve got the weaponry up there.
โThey smell blood in the water, the empire has fallen at Hawthorn and now itโs up to clubs to try and prise players out who, in the case of Luke Breust, have plenty of good football left,โ he said.
Hawthorn GM of Football Graham Wright told SENโs Bob and Andy that Breust would not be traded to improve the clubโs draft hand.
But Jordan Lewis said Breust should be able to leave the club should he want to experience football elsewhere.
Breust is contracted to stay at Hawthorn until the end of 2021.
