You sure.......

I wouldn’t have a clue but from memory while driving that’s what I thought he said. Can anyone else confirm? Did you listen to SEN and hear it differently?

Hey sorry for the intrusion, is it fair to say that whoever we pick, influences who you guys want. I imagine if we take Phillipou, you guys will pounce on Tsatas. I want to ask if we take Tsatas, are you more hopeful or actually know you will take Phillipou. Cause I’ve read your draft board last couple months and it was the consensus choice that McKenzie would be the player to select. But since Essendon’s mystery around who we pick and that recent tweet that you guys are flying Phillipou for a meeting. It’s now apparent it’s either Tsatas or Phillipou for one of our clubs.
I saw recently too that Clark has impressed Sam Mitchell about his personality and leadership traits, but hawks fans didn’t seem keen on him and dismissed him as a choice on the rumour draft thread.
Where do you guys feel is the likely outcome?

"Hawthorn strongly considering Ginbey"

This is going to be like last season when it was Ward vs Gibcus and I was so nervous we'd call out the latter.

Considering you'd think at least one or two of Tsatas, Phillipou, Humphrey and Clark will be available I'll be incredibly dismayed if we take Ginbey. He'd be a fine later pick, but not at the expense of one or those 4 in my opinion.

It’s big footy. No one knows who we are taking.

It's a very even group from pick 5 to 12 approx, but I think we would be happy with either of Clark, Mackenzie, Phillipou, Tsatas or even an outside chance we go for Ginbey, some here are big on Tsatas believing he is superior based on speed and stats, some like the in the clinches work of Clark, some like the goal kicking weapon of Phillipou, some like the ball use of Mackenzie, some like the athletic contested footy of Ginbey, im happy with whatever we choose as there's a few good options.

My personal favourite is Cam Mackenzie, but I won't be disappointed with Tsatas, Phillipou, Clark or Ginbey.

Do you have a preference?

We have a poll at the top of the thread that's a good reflection.

For mine, the preference order would be:

Tsatas
Humphrey
Mackenzie
Clark
Phillipou
Jefferson
Ginbey

With the first two far ahead of the rest of the pack.

 

[KeeperLeaguer]

I'm not saying how I know, but from what I do know, if it isn't Tsatas it's Phillipou.

 

[Crawfo]

I love this.

 

[Brishawk]

Do you have a preference?

Ashcroft. But I think the club will go a different way

Is the bloke soft as **** ? Or just doesn't like tackling ?

Yeah just preparing for my annual celebrations for winning the draft and trade period.

Is the bloke soft as * ? Or just doesn't like tackling ?

He’s very much a one way player, doesn’t really attempt to tackle. He works his socks off when the ball is loose but will shirk off defensive responsibility.

Can’t tackle if you’ve got the footy

 

[Blackhawk42]

The old Jason Akermanis 'hard to tackle when I've always got the ball' type operator?

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Yeah but the risk is, will he be that ball dominant playing against blokes as opposed to kids.
