I actually love the fact Watson didn't get a single vote in the rising star.
Firstly, it's just a pointless award voted on by
"Experts".
Just like Rioli, he will expose these "experts" as the clowns they are.
Secondly it just adds more fuel to his fire to stick it up em. Which is what he will...
While it's extremely doubtfull Nick will ever have the full bag of tricks Cyril had,(but then who ever has?) he can gain ground in 3 areas.
Consistency, durability and goals per game.
His defensive game has been such a revelation so far. Cyril like closing speed.
Got to laugh.
He hasn't played a game and the he's going to make /no he isn't, has started at record speed.
Let Denver (and Calsher) be a very recent cautionary tale of going too early.
Let the kid play. Cross your fingers. Then make a move.
Na, ignore me.
He's a poor mans Jack Viney, Brad...
Another interesting player.
Obvious strengths and Obvious weaknesses.
Not sure our midfield needs another limited ball user. Pressure forward?
I'll look forward to seeing this kid in action.
I like us rolling the dice on a promising under exposed KKP at this range pick.
Cross your fingers. But developing KKPs have been a real list weakness for quite a while at Hawthorn. He won't have to be rushed.
If we are good enough it won't matter but like you say when you are in the pack it can be 4 points between 5th and 10th.
A fast start would be a nice change. We are going to have to do it the HARDWAY.
Travelling north for opening round into an Adelaide team for gather round and its starting to look like a tough fixture already.
Prime time brings its own challenges. Hopefully we are up for it. (An injury free pre season would be a flying start).
Fantastic EFFORT from us. Young team, first final as a group.
Brisbane are hardened.
We lapsed in the 3rd, they took advantage. Their run really stretched us.
Didn't get the rub of the green but kept trying until the end.
This is some fantastic talent identification by our recruiting department.
Outside the box yet he has as good a chance as most kids to make it. (not saying he will but at least he has the physical attributes)
Fast, tackling machines are diamonds.
Did I mention he didn't cost any picks?
Bravo.
Yeah, not sure he's a perfect fit.
Speed yes. We need some in the middle.
Kicking is bog average and we ideally need another elite user in the middle of the ground.
I'm torn. Happy to take him working on a theory we will just overwhelm teams with run.
Clubs will be selling first born farms to get him. Will be a sh!t fight.
He would have to be very keen to get to us and even then player/pick swaps would be a blood bath.
Other than that, yeah sure.
Suprise packets of 2024.
Scrimmers- turned a massive corner. Consistent application let his talent shine.
Calsher-from project player/long shot to potential star KPF and saviour in 12 months. Unbelievable. We have been truly kissed on the you know what here.
Massimo- Wow, no contract to AA...
Or a speedy mid with Class.
We've had 2 goes at this with Ward and Mckenzie.
Massimo went straight past them this season.
If either come on this year we are set. If not we need one.
