Gone. Not training with the club any longer.So what happened with all the hype of Cassar....... where is he ?
Gave him a Minch, and he didn't take a mile.So what happened with all the hype of Cassar....... where is he ?
Actually Cassar can play back and forward.Taking Minchington is the more prudent move because he more fits the areas that we're lacking for depth. Cassar might end up a good footballer, but I'm not sure we're too hungry for back flankers, particularly ones that likely won't see game time for a couple of seasons.

Cassar looks physically ready... has good speed with a 3.01-second 20m sprint, as well as has good endurance.To the degree we need him to?
That's the issue, particularly considering his uncontested percentages. He could make a decent footballer but the club needs someone who is physically ready.
Worpel’s initial games in his 1st year in the AFL were played as a forward... I’d think the question for the Hawks is whether it is better for Finn to do his apprenticeship in the VFL midfield, or get early exposure to the elite level as a pressure forward. Both have merit... I’d not be surprised if Finn follows Worpel’s development path.Finn Has the physical attributes, but playing him there means not developing him in inside/outside midfield roles, which are probably more valuable in the mid-long term.
Olli isn’t & from what I’ve seen & read, will never be a pressure forward.
And it's not like he won't add something. He's got some really strong potential, it's just hard for everyone to see it with his injuries. Perfect Hawthorn pickup IMO.We're desperate for a small fwd. Desperate.
Wasn’t Luke Breust in that draft too?Yes that too, although like father son picks it can be tricky to speculate on where they would go in an open draft. JOM was certainly the standout, but if the team with the #1 pick really felt they had a stacked midfield and were shallow in KP or rucks it is possible he'd have dropped a place or two. Patton for example went #1 that year.
If you look at the 2011 draft we've done pretty well out of it for a team whose first pick was 33. From that draft we now have Patton, JOM, Wingard, Tom Mitchell and used our pick 33 on Hill. Those kind of numbers really make a mockery of those folks on the main board who criticise Hawthorn for "ignoring the elite end of the draft". More than one way to get elite talent onto your list.

can get both practice matches into him then if they want toDeadline for the PSS isn't until March 13 so why rush the formalities if for all intents and purposes he still gets to do the full training and match practice until then. Still have three weeks to see how his body holds up backing up games.
I believe they're listed in the Season 2020 news thread in the Box Hill Hawks forum.Heard that we have 9 new young recruits straight out of the NAB league playing for BH this year. Does anyone know their names?
