Player Watch 2023 AFL Draft Pool Discussion Thread

[Strapping Young Lad]

Same rule applies to this thread as other years, keep it on topic about the kids.
Don’t get bogged down on what other teams might do or where they will finish.

Trade speculation belongs here.
That's also where you can discuss your mock drafts or pick trades.

Any McCabe, Dear or Maginness talk belongs here.

Merry Wizmas for those that celebrate it

Not sure why any part of you would base what you want Hawthorn to do on how people you don't know on an internet forum might react.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Well, I hate to be pedantic, but it's not really a race.

The 'order' is already established, so there's no contest to be first to get Wiz. It's who will use their pick on Wiz. Not a race at all.

These footy media types want everything to be a race. It's weird.

 

[Bugs1977]

Not sure why you're reacting like that because Billyc is absolutely correct calling him out for that type of cr@p. It takes some kind of messed up individual to get off on others disappointment. Might as well go and support the Shinbeggers because that is not the Hawthorn way.

Jesus this is creepy.

It's still okay to get off on the disappointment of Shinbeggars supporters though, right??

Round 1 vs the druggies.

I think there’s a middle ground here where it’s uncool to want our fellow hawthorn supporters to be upset, but also entirely acceptable to continue to bully the tin rattlers. We’re only human for Christ’s sake!

 

[Leather Poisoning]

I'm certain North will find a way to **** things up for themselves and/or others tonight.

If you were GWS would you take Eagles or the Beggars 2024 first rounder?

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Probably the Weagles. Though would Norf offer one of their late handout firsts too?

Shinbeggars'. I think WCE will finish above them.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Coverage starts from 7.
They know how to ******* drag it on mind you, so we'll be lucky to get a pick before 8pm.

Yeah, I’m told each club is told that they must take the 5 minutes to make their selection by the AFL so that all the AFL associated media can run their clips and interviews with each selection. It’s why you get shots of a whole bunch of staff just staring at each other or the screens.
Concocted bullshit.

They could probably knock off the whole first round in 30 mins and then do all the interviews and clips after when there is time and they can make a cohesive presentation. Instead of trying to soak up dead air with meaningless waffle…

 

[TylerDurden]

Boomer and Firrito to present North jumpers FWIW.

Not what I said at all Ned. Our board up until recently has always been relatively pleasant with the odd few d**kheads that seem to get off on others disappointment. I'm pretty sure you know that I've never been like that with anyone here and have always conducted myself accordingly.

I assume you're thinking McKercher – Harvey, Curtin – Firrito?

 

[toomanysquibs]

So long as we take Mckercher, I almost don't care who we take

As much as I'd hate to miss out of McKercher, I'd be OK with it if we draft McKercher instead.

Just having a laugh, Bugs! Agree with your broader points.

 

[TylerDurden]

Or Wiz and Curtin?

I was going to say you're luck I love you Ned

• Sorting Hat : Hmm, difficult. VERY difficult. Plenty of goals & x factor, I see. Not a bad mind, either. There's talent, oh yes. And a thirst to prove yourself. But where to put you?
• Nick : Not the Beggars. Not the Dogs. ...
• Sorting Hat : Ah! Another jet. I know just what to do with you... HAWTHORN!
