Why doesn’t Burton hold the Hawks to his contract and refuse to be traded?

Gets to go home to Adelaide and gets to negotiate a juicier contract at Port, simples.

RYAN Burton has been left shattered after Hawthorn told him he will be traded for Chad Wingard.

Burton is currently overseas on holiday, but received a phone call on Thursday night telling him he would be sacrificed for the wantaway Power forward.

Burton, so highly regarded by the Hawks he was bestowed with Sam Mitchell’s No.5 in 2016, only signed a fresh three-year contract in July last year...

It’s understood the promising defender, 21, had been informed by the Hawks that he was not being discussed as trade bait.

But that changed dramatically when the Power told Hawthorn it would only deal with them if South Australian Burton was part of the deal.

“McInnes floated on Twitter that a three-way trade could see Tom Langdon get to Sydney, with Sydney’s Pick 33 heading to Adelaide and Kelly heading to the Magpies.”

That would be a great outcome for us

Langdon is a good player, but certainly isn't a star

Swans get bend over in the Hanners trade. Effectively we get a third rounder.

[AB Swannie]

If people thought the Mitchell trade was bad. Wow. We got more for Sam Murray!

Crap trade. Only reason is salary cap.

Saints; Hey swans bend over and take a deep breath..hanners and pick 28 for pick 39 and next years 2nd...seriously....
i usually have trust in our list team...but that is just ridiculous... We would ahve been better giving up players as free agents and getting compo picks

Not a great outcome, but I feel its as much about getting his salary off the books as anything else... would have been nice to get something closer to his true value.

We do seem to be soft negotiators at the trade table however.

[Bill Posters]

Wtf?? Should have said no and kept him. Watch him regain his form next year..

[Aprilbr]

The Hanners deal just shows how desperate we were to trade him out. I thought we would have gotten a little more than that!

Wow, thats a terrible, terrible trade for Hanners. Especially after Shiel nominated Essendon. Take out pick 28 and maybe it about right.

Thats a horrific trade when Saints are also extending his contract.

[Agent 86]

Mind boggling. Hope he goes well at the Saints and racks up a few decent performances.

[rb4x]

Future 2nd rounder would have been a very bad trade but to downgrade 28 to 39 as well ??? Swans have been totally reamed on this trade. We must be in a desperate state with our salary cap.

[CureTheSane]

The kind of trade that needs to be explained....
