I read Hawks suggested him Category: | Herald Sun
PORT Adelaide is still to be sold on Hawthorn defender Ryan Burton in the rocky trade for contracted midfielder-forward Chad Wingard that is expected to drag to Wednesday’s deadline...
Hawthorn’s first offer of pick No.15 and South Australian Burton remains short of Port Adelaide’s first preferences for 25-year-old Wingard.
Coach Ken Hinkley’s first demand - before Wingard had nominated Hawthorn as his club of choice - of two first-round draft picks appears out of reach with the Hawks.
They currently have picks No.15, 35 and 53 and either 35 or 53 are to be traded for Greater Western Sydney midfielder Tom Scully...
It was the Hawks who put up Burton for the trade rather than the Power asking for him.Comment

Depends what you read
The Power have identified Burton as the key to releasing Wingard, informing him he would be used in a variety of roles if he moves to Alberton.

Or how you read it. That article you referenced says: “Thrown on the trade table by Hawthorn as part of its offer to the Power for Chad Wingard, Burton must now consider the opportunity to move home to South Australia before the weekend is over.”
My understanding is Hawthorn suggested Burton, Port were weighing it up.
I’m not sure if the Age is ahead or behind the other media with this article
Meanwhile Port has rejected Hawthorn’s offer of pick 15 and Ryan Burton in exchange for Chad Wingard.
The Power want more than Hawthorn’s first pick and Burton and have not yet done a medical on him. Until they do a medical and reassure themselves about concerns about Burton’s knees they are not convinced about the former first round draft pick being involved in any trade arrangement for Wingard.Comment

The Australian reports that Harry Marsh us exploring his options.
I would think that any of our uncontracted fringe players would be mad to not be exploring their options.Comment

Gave pick 19 for former pick 2 Jono O'Rourke from memory, that's a fail.

Not always, last year got pick 2 from GC for Weller.
Gold Coasts trading last year goes down as the all time worse trading. Did some absolutely dumb pick trading with West Coast and then got screwed by Freo, epic fail!Comment

See Cornes is outraged at the potential Scully trade (but not at the Hanners one)
Category: | Herald Sun
PORT Adelaide champion Kane Cornes has called on the AFL to intervene in a planned trade that would see Tom Scully move to Hawthorn in a swap for a late draft pick.
Cornes was outraged that a top-four team could potentially land one of the competition's best midfielders for a pick in the 50s.
Scully was rated elite in many categories in 2016-17 but suffered a shocking ankle injury in Round 2 that has dealt a major blow to his trade worth as he seeks a return home to Victoria.
"I know he's had ankle (problems) but Tom Scully is an elite midfielder of the competition," Cornes said on Trade Radio.
"The AFL just can't allow him to walk for pick 53 to one of the strongest clubs in the competition.
"There must be some restrictions … it has to be a first-round draft pick, surely. The AFL must step in."Comment

So you'd think that the Hawks will have trading restrictions put on them for the next three years over the Scully deal?
Wow. Gobsmacking.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.Comment
