    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Jasper Scaife - Pick 5, 2024 MSD

    The more I watch Scaife's clips, the more it looks like he is ready. Literally a read-made player who does not lack in physical attributes nor skills. The Q I have is why the club would draft such a player given Dear + Chol in good form, and Lewis as the senior forward. There is surely not...

    Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

    I haven't watched much non-Hawks footy for a few years. He's regarded as the best in the game right now, but what impact would he have on our team? Is he going to make a big difference in the way Brian Lake did?

    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Jasper Scaife - Pick 5, 2024 MSD

    This is potentially a huge unlock. Even if he is merely introverted and only now coming into his own, that newfound confidence alone will be a. massive win for us. He seems to have a lot of untapped potential, especially in light of his late arrival to junior football. MacKenzie and co pulled...

    Rumour 2024 Hypothetical trade and FA Thread

    A fully fit Mitchell Lewis is top 3-5 KPF in the league IMO. I saw his potential from his early games and have been patiently waiting for him to put it together over a season. Sadly, 7 years into his career and we are still waiting for that consistency. It's either his body, or our medical team...

    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Jasper Scaife - Pick 5, 2024 MSD

    Maybe to start, but he can push up the field and even help out in defence. I am excited by this pick. He could change a lot about our list management if he shows a bit this season..

    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Jasper Scaife - Pick 5, 2024 MSD

    These are great highlights with high leaping marks, which the previous clips did not include. He does it ALL and has the kind of athleticism/strength/skills that should transfer well into AFL football. I think we've got a very good KPF prospect who could play this season. Amazing work by...

    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Jasper Scaife - Pick 5, 2024 MSD

    Can you tell us more about his journey, playing style, pros/cons of his game? Is he any good overhead, in a pack mark etc?

    I would do a straight swap for Bailey Fristche, or a swap of their first + a player, for our second.

    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Jasper Scaife - Pick 5, 2024 MSD

    I'd love to see how he goes in packs. Is he any good leaping up at the ball in a contest? Holding his ground one on one? I think he shows enough in his highlights to be worth a spot.

    If he does that in the VFL he will be playing seniors this season.

    Better numbers at a higher level - good trajectory. Looking like another quality pick for us.

    huge insight. Thanks.

    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Jasper Scaife - Pick 5, 2024 MSD

    Could someone give us the background to this kid? Why wasn't he picked up as an 18 y.o. player? He looks every bit as good as Jed Walter in highlights.

    Unofficial Preview Mid Season Draft 2024

    When I watch this guy's highlights (from ONE game), and compare to Jed Walter's highlights across his underage season, I find it difficult to discern why one is a top 3 pick, and the other fell to the MSD. Scaife's athelticism is on par, if not better than Walter's. There's no noticeable gap in...

    Unofficial Preview Mid Season Draft 2024

    I floated this idea a couple of months ago and have since been locked out of the Mitchell Lewis thread. Lewis is a risk given his injury history, which is what also makes him a trade opportunity. Probably also means Ramsden isn't close to the required level, yet. Scaife looks solid. Good...
