I'm not stressed about who we pick because I have absolutely no influence over the decision and the result is inconsequential to my wellbeing.

Twomey saying a bid coming in the 2nd round for Finn? Would be a great result. If we can somehow snag another first round pick, then can use 42 + 53 to match Finn, we will then have 3 exciting kids on the night....great result
Whoever gets drafted by the hawks is already better than 70% of the kids going to clubs with poor or average development records
That's the spirit !
Welcome to the Hawks, McAsey.........not !

Nothing against the kid, but cautionary tales against athletically limited defenders being taken early are literally everywhere over the past drafts. Durdin, Goddard, Weitering, Francis, Collins. They're just not a great option early.
Fair enough... and well said!

Why is there a sudden dislike for McAsey? I understand Kemp/Stephens would both be superior choices but if not available taking McAsey is the next best thing.
A 197cm defender who is a sublime reader of the play, has good skills, has good speed and is a great contested mark. Admittedly he struggles when isolated but strength & conditioning are two things that can be improved by time in the system. The fact he struggles against bigger bodies actually makes me more inclined to take him because it suggests he isn't simply a brute force defender that looks good because he's stronger than those around him. The fact he can read the play means he has a smart footballing brain and within the Clarkson system that is invaluable. There is a reason Geelong are looking to trade up simply to get him.
I would be ecstatic with any of Kemp/Stephens/McAsey/Robertson. Who we take will likely come down to availability (please Melbourne bid on Green @ 3 to stuff GWS up and ensure they don't take 2 players).

That's the first one my non mathematical brain has not gone into seizure over.
Nice job.
Earliest live draft pick since Cyril at 12 in 2007 we are understandably excited. First night too. bring it on!

VERY nice one grab mark for his size.
Think he looks a terrific young player who could play across any line.

If we get Kemp/Stephens/Robertson and we trade back into the first round to get McAsey I'm not against it as it's a nice spread of top-end talent with two midfielders and a KP, but to pick up a KPD with our first pick just seems a waste as we are a system based backline that just needs people to play rolls. This is important but I believe we can fill it at a cheaper price if need be. Plus the best way to support our defence is to have the best midfield we can getting the clearance for ourselves or creating pressure for the opposition to rush their inside 50 entries. While I haven't looked much further than the top search result videos, reports are he isn't the quickest which seems to buck the trend of the previous KPD we have targeted. Also, the fact that the belief this draft is that the KP stocks are of poor quality makes me question if the footage we are seeing is him beating the best and if it will transition to VFL and AFL level. Also, he didn't provide any results at the combine so there is little to go off there.

I definitely agree that I would probably prefer the three aforementioned targets. But GWS moving up to Pick 4 is a headache because unless Melbourne bids on Green they will likely take another player + match points on Green. This means that one 'slider' may not get to us. There is a reality in which all of Stephens (to Adelaide), Kemp (to Carlton) and Robertson (to Fremantle) are not available with our selection. In this case I am completely fine with picking up McAsey.
The best case scenario is GWS take Green with 4 (only happens with a Melbourne bid unfortunately) and Fremantle take Henry with 10. If this eventuates I believe we will land Kemp because Serong may be available for Carlton.

19 for future first?

We need a future second coming in to trade the future first, maybe Pick 19, 2020 second-round and pick 56 for 2020 first-round, pick 30 and pick 63.
Hawthorn in:
Pick 19
2020 second-round linked to Richmond
Pick 56
Richmond in:
2020 first-round linked to Hawthorn
pick 30
Pick 63
Plus for that to happen Hawthorn would need Maginness to fall past pick 19 so this trade would only happen on the night in my opinion.

Pick 19 + 2020 Second for 2020 First + Pick 42?
Adelaide provided the pick to GWS? they must be very confident
Adelaide got a future first too as part of the deal, so they have an eye on next year too
If we can pick up another 1st then I wouldn't mind Weightman and Kysaiah Pickett. We need some small forwards and if they are the best available left on the board then I hope we take at least one of them.
