Oh, I can answer this.
West Coast's tall forward stocks at the time weren't the best after Gardiner and maybe you could count Quentin Lynch.
You used to throw Hunter down back in a way similiar to many undersized backlines alongside Embley and Glass and make up the aggregate with one dedicated...
Played juniors in Alice Springs with Peter Rolfe, who absolutely carved up everyone whenever we played and took him the League MVP for our age group 5 years running.
Ended up playing 200 games for South Adelaide, with 80 BOGs among them. Still think he could have really come along as at least a...
Logan doesn't stack up yet because he's been caught in the shadow of Buddy for 4 years. This year will be an interesting one, and I really think he'll come along without Buddy demanding the ball every single time the ball looked as if it was coming into the 50.
Thats not hyperbole, by the way...
Nah, Cooper will be a gun. Elite testing at the combine (Ranked Elite/Top 2% for Leap and Agility) put her as the most dynamic athlete this year. I would honestly play her forward as a Medium that can play above her height right now.
He's at least taken pack marks or tried too. The best Ladhams has tried to do is nudge his opponent under the ball.
I said high point the ball; basically mark it at the highest possible point to give the opponent no chance at it
True Tall - Logan McDonald. Unafraid to actually high point a ball and use his size to play the game
Faux Tall - Jesse White was a good example. Guess its probably now Ladhams. Built like Tarzan, plays like Jane
Don't mind the idea of Green. No to Caddy, and I expect him to be gone anyway so this smells like smoke.
Trade down might not be bad, but it will depend how the board shakes out.
I still think its Leake if he's there and I grow more and more confident.
15? More like 5.
It will be some order of Reid, Curtin, McKercher, Walter, Sanders and after that its anyones game. I had Duursma dropping to 8 in my mock
With the last pick for Hawthorn, we'll take Calsher Dear
I tossed up a Lachlan Cabor bid to make it funny, and wanted one of Delean or Gothard to fall (Gothard moreso) but its alright
With the news Hawthorn have another F/S at the very end of the draft, should I be as real as possible and take him?
Also, do I only have 3 spots? There's a name on there I want to grab this late as well
Despite all that maths, I missed the 20% F/S discount.
So provided GC picks force everything else after them forward, which they should, Hawthorn carry a 60 point deficit into next year (1644 points for pick 7 - 20% (328) = 1315 = matched with pick 38, 41 and 43 which is a total of 1255)
4 was used on McKercher
So having to match pick 7 = 1644 - Pick 44 (362), Pick 47 (316), Pick 49 (287) = 965 points taken off and carry a 679 deficit.
If the pick matches for GC come into effect before the McCabe bid, my 3x later picks all slide forward 6 picks equalling 1255 instead and I...
Dammit, was hoping he would slip through past 40 so I didn't have to look up the 90th best player in this draft now all my picks are pushed back from the McCabe bid
Yes :(
Nah, Honestly its a good play. For someone who bangs on about bidding higher on academy picks in response to victorians complaining about "Academy freebies" I can respect it.
If I had my time again I'd probably decline at 7 and set a hard limit on where I'd start auto-match (9-10 hard...
Well, I did not expect double talls with Norths picks. Expected McKercher/Curtin and still do in my mock.
Either way, this is a pleasant surprise, and so Hawthorn will pick Colby McKercher
(Please also automatch any F/S bid on McCabe if I'm not back in time for that)
