HAWTHORN has secured GWS star Tom Scully for a bargain basement price and it could see a mega trade go through on deadline day. TRADE DAY RE-CAP

TOM Scully's move to Hawthorn could trigger an even bigger trade on deadline day.

The Giants moved Scully for the bargain basement price of a future fourth-round pick in what is widely seen as a salary cap dump.

"I think the Scully deal was a lot around the injury but also its tied up in a bigger deal for GWS ... and that will come to fruition tomorrow," he told Trade Radio.

"He had a significant ankle injury and that brings up its own complications.

"He tried to come back - it was a 12-16 week injury initially - and wasn't ready and then had a follow up surgery. It comes with a bit of risk but we'll back our medical guys in.

"We don't believe his injury would be career-ending for Tom, otherwise we wouldn't have entered into this trade.

"Wright revealed Scully would sign a three-year deal with the potential for a fourth but was less forthcoming about Chad Wingard.

Wingard nominated the Hawks as his club of choice and talks with Port Adelaide are set to go down to the 8.30pm (EDT) deadline.

Asked if he could provide an update, Wright said: "Not really, no. We're talking to Port Adelaide and we're hopeful of getting something done there."
