Wow Bonar is only 24, I could have sworn he was around 27.Hawks into Bonar as DFA
Longs game was never going to translate well to the seniors. Problem is, he's a midfielder only and there's too many midfielders coming through that will continue to surpass him.Wow Bonar is only 24, I could have sworn he was around 27.

Bonar is also not anything other than a mid. Just because North tried playing him as a KPD doesn't mean he is remotely close to oneLongs game was never going to translate well to the seniors.

Yep, don't disagree.Bonar is also not anything other than a mid. Just because North tried playing him as a KPD doesn't mean he is remotely close to one
Why would WCE do this.. North bias. Has Clarko recruited you as well hahahaNorth out - 2, F1, pick 3
West Coast out - pick 1
Melbourne out - Pick 6 and 11
North in - pick 1, 6 and 11
West Coast in - 2 and North F1
Melbourne in - pick 3
I proposed that as part of the Gunston-Ryan trade but it was unlikely and didn't eventuate. But I agree, could be a zippy small forward option to bring some speed & tackle pressure at ground level at least.I really like Blake Coleman from Brisbane (not to be confused with Kiddy). Recently delisted and think he’d have upside as a small forward option.
1 - I think McCabe is overrated tbh. He'll take time to develop as well until we can see his full potential on display.Why do some people think an early bid for McCabe is on the cards? I haven’t seen a draft board rate him higher than 15. I think if dees offer 6,11 and anything else future you have to strongly consider it we still have gaps.
Also I’m still a massive fan of a Darcy Wilson think he’s a perfect fit for our right wing spot. Gets low 20s kicks goals every game can mark overhead and what about his combine result? 2nd in 2km trial, top 10 agility and standing jump and won running vertical jump. Think he could be an absolute star and damaging and we need more impactful players by foot.

2 - If we got 6, 11, plus a sweetener of some sort, I wouldn't be too mad if we did it but I do think the academy players really push the later picks out far and there is a fall in talent after the highest picks. If we do, we could take Caddy at 6 and Murphy 11 and fill in KPP stocks at either end.
3 - Massimo is our Darcy Wilson. With the limited picks we have (especially with the bids we may match), it would be foolish to draft small players unless they're too good to pass on. I doubt we'd have a pick where we could choose Wilson.

Reid
Mckercher
Duursma
Leaving us with Watson or Curtin.
If dees knock and say 6,11,f3(dogs) for pick 4, would we do it? What if you knew dogs wouldn’t take Curtin at 5 given KP prospects. Curtin and Wilson or Murphy plus f3 allowing us to trade f1 would have to be mighty tempting.
We were robbed of the Long Bonar combination my wife tells me this often tooWow Bonar is only 24, I could have sworn he was around 27.

The bloke who has had injuries that is being let go by North despite having no fit key defenders in 24?Hawks into Bonar as DFA
Apparently they've been aware of it for a few weeks and traded for him anyway.
Pick slide this year irrelevant due to McCabeGinnivan for basically a couple of second round pick slides in 2023 and 2024 is good business.
He averages 9.67 touches and 2 tackles per game.Bonar is also not anything other than a mid. Just because North tried playing him as a KPD doesn't mean he is remotely close to one
Feels the wrong time to be topping up.
We paid reasonably full prices for players traded in (including just throwing away picks for Massimo) and got f-all for Kosi and brockman (particularly in comparison to what other players were traded for)
We’ve nuked next years draft hand and not much left after McCabe - we’re not really hitting draft this year or next unless there’s some decent players traded out in 2024.
We’ll know pretty early on if ginnivan and Chol will be successes. Lot of pressure now created on club to improve in 2024.
Teams that bid on McCabe in the first round only strengthens the hawks in future trade seasons. We would have a total of 4 first round picks in 2 years, this allows us to trade 1st rounders for multiple years .Why do some people think an early bid for McCabe is on the cards?
