List Mgmt. Hawk's List Management for 2025

[bigmaxi]

Yeah probably should have put Frost …… but got a feeling Weddle will become one of the most versatile players in the comp. Can play him anywhere!

Hey Matey, do we start him on the wing? Then rotate him thru the forward line with the talls as they take a rest on the bench. They guy has a super charged tank and could throw some confusion thru the defensive set up of the opposition by randomly bobbing up and slotting a few. Sam loves this style of player movement during games.

Weddle amon Sicily can fire long bombs. Good luck flooding against the hawks,

Edit I think I meant dambrosio

The depth is phenomenal moving forward, which is great because in out dominant/threepeat era, we used 30'ish players each season and covered losses to injury/rest beautifully.

I don't think it can be understated how important it is to have Finn and Morrison as diehard hawks through and through as our players right on the fringe of the 22. I think if they weren't, they would've gone elsewhere in the trade period.

Plenty of clubs came knocking trying to pry them out and both said no. Would love for their faith to be repaid with a flag at some point

Pretty much every team has to use 30ish players across the season.

The idea that you can roll out your best 22 in any given week is completely unrealistic.

Week in/out player rated 26 is in the seniors unless the injury list is exceptionally short.

Finn and Harry played both finals. Frankly they were clearly in the best available 23 at the end of the season.

So it’s no surprise they want to stay at Hawthorn and continue to be best 23 players with us.

They were in the best available.

They're not in our best 22/23 if all are fit.

My point was, until this off-season, we've lacked depth and we've needed to play blokes who aren't yet AFL standard in the firsts due to need/injury.

Good teams have deep lists, we now have a deep list but in the last 3-6 years we haven't.

Not sure I agree with this statement. Who are you talking about? Below are the players that played less than 10 games in 2024

Hey BM I hope we have the most lethal wing combo on the planet that will run teams off their feet …….. while still having Weddle up Sam’s sleeve to utilise in all positions depending on the opposition or moments in games!

Carlton go okay when McKay and Curnow are clunking them.

Neither are particularly agile nor are they tackle machines.

I'll bite. Why didn't you use the orange font?

“Best 22/23 of all are fit” is not a static concept.

We had a PCM winner (Worpel) and one of our higher rated defenders (Scrimshaw) both playing at Box Hill due to form in 2022 and 2023 respectively. Despite being available, they weren’t in our best 22 at the relevant time, because they were playing poorly.

It happens.

I wonder if we will ever see a 3 point revolution equivalent in footy. Just stacking your team with guys who can take shots from 50+ with ease.
