What is this obsession with Essendon's years old doping scandal. It gets in the way of Hawthorn stuff. I teckon somebody should close this thread.

Maybe one these young potential backs like Mraz or McCabe could be looked at as a KPF.

I see the 6 defenders as pretty clear. Sicily, Barass, Scrimshaw, Frost, Hardwick and Impey. A mixture of talls, super ball users (Sicily is too useful not to be in the backline) and smalls. The CHF will be a shared role of Battle and Weddle (and Lewis when available). This can change within...

He did.

Hope he has been working on a right foot as he doesn't yet have the bottle to compete inside where foot skills are not needed as much. One sided players (there are too many AFL players that have this) rarely have strong careers. Even love child Nick Daicos doesn't use his opposie foot.

I see Ruck as a list need but it comes after tall forward e.g. Faull, Whitlock, Shanahan etc and power medium forward e.g. Hynes, Barrat. Ruck depth is vital. Meek's performance was a significant factor in our improvement. You certainly bank on talent as you say.

Why not. They always need to be refreshed. Also Dodson is the best Ruck in this draft.

To finish off the Hawks draft, I select Cody Anderson on baller and NGA product. So no-one else can have him anyway.

Hawks really like Cooper Hynes but unless they trade out of 2025 they won't get him.

Hawks draft Zac Johnson from the Northern Knights. Prolific ball winner, with speed and leadership.

Hawks haven't

Are you waiting for the Hawks?

Who are NGA's for 2025 onwards?

Pick 34 - James Barrat Perfect choice for the Hawks. 3rd tall forward or back. Surprised others were chosen in front of him.

No

It wasn't my suggestion and I'm supposed to be Hawthorn.

Hawks for me

Cody Anderson and Cooper Hynes.

Hawks like Corey Anderson and Cooper Hynes.

Cooper Hynes is a player the Hawks like heaps. There are others the Hawks as well. Hynes 190cm power half forward. Always engaged in the play. How do we did into his draft range though? Around 15-25. A Chapman/Stringer type.

Perhaps a ruckman with Pick 33 Is Alex Dodson worth a serious look?

On reflection, the Himmmelburg comparison is good. Battle up forward is like Scilly or Hardwick up forward. As it suits. Not entire games. Battle targeted for the backline primarily. Certainly don't want to lose Sciliy's kicking or marking out of the backliine. Weddle's position is still in...

Confident that Josh will see plenty of time forward.

Finn's worth is early 2nd. Around Pick 20.

More like pick 19 only.

Setting aside things to me Barrass is worth around Pick 16-20.

Eagles allowing a contracted player to explore the market means that WCE do not really want to keep him. Trading Barrass is their preference. A 4 year contract is a not all that large by today's standards. Hawks F1 on the table currently. Barrass is valued around 16-20 by the Hawks. Trading...

Darling is pressing North for 2 years guaranteed with a trigger for a 3rd year. He wouldnt leave otherwise. The $800k for 2025 is spread across the 2 years plus North adding approx $100k across those 2 years as well. Effectively Darling being paid $450k per year. No WCE salary dump at all. The...

Weight stat's gone. AFL aren't comfortable publishing either AFL or AFLW weights. Deemed a form of shaming.

WCE 2nd and not 3rd. Or Hawks 1st only.
