Welcome 2018 draft pick 52: Welcome to Hawthorn Jacob Koschitzke

[Strapping Young Lad]

 

[Lethality]

Injury and maybe pace are probably the knocks on him. Otherwise he looks very composed, confident and courageous.

 

[MrPremiership]

Wasn't Jordan Lisle AA during his u/18 year?

It's not a guarantee for success, but it shows there is a lot of talent there. Not bad for pick 52

 

[Slick]

I'm happy with this pick. Finally we've drafted a KPP that doesn't need to put on 10-15kgs just to compete with the big boys! Kossie will see that there are opportunities if he works hard for them! KPP don't NEED to be fast if they read the game well, have a high IQ, and can intercept mark (Jeremy McGovern). Fingers crossed.

 

[Nugett]

Seems like a good, smart pick and he looks to have some key attributes but I just find it hard to get excited about drafting a KPD knowing our recent history in developing players in that position

Don’t worry, he is going to be a great forward for us.

 

[HolyRioli]

Probably the best contested mark we've drafted since Puopolo

 

[beta_condition]

Anyone know what he tested for the 20 meter sprint and agility tests? Looks great at read the balls flight, I assume he big knock was his kicking which to put it politely is quite suspect gong by those highlights.

Fair point. Clarko will not be happy when he finishes the trekking and dials up on the 33K modem

Missed the combine with a hip injury.

Didn't attend the Combine due to injury.

Another reason why he slid to 52.

 

[Tomohawks]

Hell yeah, what a pick. After the initial disappointment of missing out on Mozzie to the Bummers this pick certainly made my day. Looks like a cross between Lake and the good Jake Carlisle judging by his highlights. Just what the doctor ordered with our desperate need for a strong marking player of good size who is comfortable below his knees. Can't help but feel that we might have a Tom McDonald type on our hands here, both taken about pick 50, strong hands, solid build etc. Just hope he ends up a great kick like Tom which is the only slight concern I have.

Step aside Jeremey McGovern...

 

[threesixpio]

Roughy, Frawley, Schoenmakers, Brand, Mitch Lewis, Conor Nash.

That's the current crop of KPPs.

This was definitely the best option for us at pick 52.

You’d be happy with this pick I imagine LP

Find a TW tile & you can close a game of 'Words with Friends' down real early

When you put it like that it's hard to argue against this pick

 

[lethalselbow]

I just hope he has a better career than Mosquito or we will never hear the end of it from the scum.

Got the strange feeling we'll never hear the end of it from you.

Only fault I could find in that video was the horrid 1995 techno music.

ROFL.

I tried to look passed it...

100% agree. Plus the kid looks like he's been eating his weetbix already, as he's coming in at a casual 95 kgs. Could take the field in 2019 without giving away too much in body weight.

Some of the KPP players we have taken in recent past have lacked the weight and haven't been able to put on the necessary kgs in muscle mass.

1000%

Finally a guy who can hold some weight on his bones... ahead of time. Can build a back line or hopefully a forward line around a tank like him.

(Sorry for all my posts in a row, but just replying and agreeing with all the smart people)

Hahaha hopefully you won't have to, hopefully this proves to be a masterstroke from us.

 

[Jackooh]

Just thought of a nickname for him 'Aerogard' to keep the mozzies away, thoughts???

I think comparisons/references to Mosquito should be limited to be honest. Let Kosi become his own player, without the pressure of competiting with a completely different player.

 

[The Chad and I]

I like his competitive instincts and his eye for the ball, especially in the air - he reads it exceptionally well.
I can see similarities to McGovern and perhaps less so, Lake.

Sensible selection given the list and he seems a solid prospect.

 

[PatientHawk]

Very happy with the pick.

Lake was a freak. Watched him live a lot as I marveled at what he could do and he seemed to read where the ball was going to land almost the instant it left the boot. I look forward to seeing this kid play at BH and then Hawthorn at some stage hopefully.
