Hearing about the potential Bowes salary dump, we could have picks 7 and 8 (after Ashcroft bid).
That could give us access to two of McKensie, Clark and Humphrey.
This would be amazing even if we lose this years second.

Purely speculation, but if it is proven correct, let’s do it. Bowes and an additional first is too hard to pass up.

What player’s does the Bowes salary dump enable the suns to retain or offer good contracts too?

Anderson would be one that comes to mind.

Suns are at around the same spot on the premiership clock as us. Do we provide them with salary relief to keep valuable players?

I see it as the Suns will do a deal to get salary cap relief from someone. So the question is how much do we want pick 7 and can we convince Bowes to choose Hawthorn?

Fair enough!

 

[Bardo State]

Pascu, Jefferson and Reid

 

[Glacier]

Humphrey from Vic Country looks good

 

[daniel23]

Humphrey please

 

[Bardo State]

Humphrey please

Has Metro panicking. Lacks polish early but looks so dangerous.

 

[theiaofseed]

Hollands the dominate player on the ground atm.

Gruzewski took a monster mark

Lack of polish - in your opinion how concerning is this in terms of Hawks taking him with first?

 

[Blackhawk42]

Humphrey has a bit of Dusty about him up forward. Would love to see him in the midfield for a quarter or two.

 

[Bardo State]

Lots of guys standing out in the first quarter who I didn't know or wasn't looking out for.

Nick Watson, Paul Pascu, Harvey Gallagher, Noah Long, Max Gruzewski.

Jefferson and Humphrey plenty impressive for the high end guys.

Hollands had a heap of it but has not made the best decisions or executed his disposal well.

Watson kick up the middle to Gruzewski was magical.

Hollands getting heaps of it but he puts way too much air on his kicks.

 

[Glacier]

Couple of really good small fwds on display

I think if his disposal was cleaner we wouldn't be a chance to be able to take him, he'd be there with Ashcroft and Wardlaw. Game breaking mid forwards who can explode from celarances and be dangerous forward are very valuable in modern footy, so you wouldn't sweat too much on his goal kicking.

Tsatas kicking under pressure isn't great

Polled well on the Morrish
Looks super powerful

 

[VandoHawk]

Would like to see more of Humphrey mid but he’s had some impressive moments forward.

Gruzewski reminds me of Fritsch, great mark 1v1.

 

[Bardo State]

I can see why a lot of people have Hayes going pretty early. Looks very competent in general play.

 

[theiaofseed]

Sheezel's kick to advantage for a player running into space was very special.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

The game is on Kayo, surprisingly.

What numbers are the key players - Cadman, Sheezel, Ashcroft, Mackenzie, Humphrey, Reid (for 2023), etc

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Looks really slippery
