[theiaofseed]

This could be a steal, love this pick.

 

[hardway]

Don’t think our scouts put many km’s on the cars

 

[Chris_Superman_Langford]

Who is that?

Jack O'Sullivan apparently

 

[VandoHawk]

O’Sullivan, zippy pressure forward. Love it.

Absolute half back flanker !

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Don't know anything about this pick. Sounds like he's similar to Seamus Mitchell.

I'll admit that I wanted Munkara. However, in my opinion, Henry Hustwaite was the best player left. He doesn’t have a great deal of speed or athleticism that clubs cherish in the modern game, but that didn't stop Patrick Cripps

from winning a Brownlow, did it now? Hustwaite, like Cripps, grew up short in stature. He claims that, as a result, he frequently found himself as the tough midfielder left to do all the 'dirty' work. This ability has continued into his tall stature and gives him the appearance of having a lower centre of gravity. For those concerned about his lack of speed and athleticism, don't be. With the addition of Weddle, the team will have two players who can play the tall, athletic midfield/wing position: Weddle and Day. He also compensates for his lack of athleticism and speed by playing a style of football that I can only really compare to Scott Pendlebury

. He has good agility, is very clean with the ball in hand, and is very composed. He joins the group of tall, graceful, skilled, composed, and effective midfielders Sam is counting on to lead the team out of its rebuild and into its next era of success. He has also shown the same versatility as Weddle and Mackenzie do. He is a steal at No. 37, and I'm ecstatic that we can call him a Hawthorn player. Henry, welcome to the Hawthorn Football Club.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

I don't understand why we bid on Davey there and not at 37?

[Bumps"N"Grins]

With years of watching this kid, I feel this is a two years and delist pick.
Sorry folks

 

[Mojo]

Did we mean to pick O'Sullivan, he's listed at 177cm?

 

[Chris_Superman_Langford]

I don't understand why we bid on Davey there and not at 37?

Because they can't match it at 37 and we'd have to take him. We don't rate him that high.

Edit: thinking NGA sorry.

I'll admit that I wanted Munkara. However, in my opinion, Henry Hustwaite was the best player left. He doesn’t have a great deal of speed or athleticism that clubs cherish in the modern game, but that didn't stop Tom Mitchell from winning a Brownlow, did it now? Along with Day, we now have Weddle, who will fill that tall, athletic midfield/wing position on the team anyway. Sam is giving the midfield some much-needed attention by prioritising stylish, efficient kickers like Mackenzie. And Hustwaite is certainly that. He has also shown the same versatility as Weddle and Mackenzie do. He is a steal at No. 37. Henry, Welcome to the Hawthorn Football Club.

Important to remember that the recruiters likely know how set Munkara is on joining the *. Just feel selecting the kid would just end up badly.

I reckon they just started googling yesterday, and then threw darts at a shortlist.

 

[TDS7]

He's father-son, they can match any time.

 

[bradburygold]

We happy or we melting with JO’S

 

[VandoHawk]

He's father-son, they can match any time.

Thoughts on O’Sullivan?

 

[spudmaster]

How are we going to feed all these guys? Our Coles Online order is going to affect our soft cap enormously.

Offset by Monky leaving.
