Hot on the heels of Hawthorn gifting us Rising Star nom and future Hall of Famer Ryan Bastinac last year, now it emerges they have given us Shaun Atley too!
The ever reliable Emma Quayle writes:
North Melbourne, the only club to use a compensation pick, benefited: it got crafty forward Kieran Harper, a player it had looked at for pick 17.
Thus, had we not plamed Hales off to them, we would have been in a horrible dilemma come pick 17.
Instead, we took the best available in Atley and sat back to snare our main target ten picks later.
I believe the 'Thanks for Bastinac and Atley' line should be deployed at every opportunity.
