We should be chasing Nash

Would love Nash, Hawks fans seem very confident he will sign though.

 

[Danger in Texas]

We should be chasing Nash

Would be a big upgrade on Berry as the defensive body

 

[maxlilly]

We have so many holes in our list.
I hope we attack the draft hard for the next couple of years before Tasmania come in.
And I don't want to trade in a middle of the road list clogger as a FA

I'm wishing for Sam Lalor in this years draft
I'd like us to have 5-6 picks this year and start clearing some deadwood on the list

surely you’d be happy with Cumming ?

 

[maxlilly]

Hahaha, he was actually the FA list clogger I was referring to
Just average and too injury prone

 

[Checksider]

Demolished today by a young, skilled, pacey Hawks midfield.

We need to get this draft right, pick up some elite midfield talent.

Do something right for a change, don’t trade pick 4 FFS you absolute idiots.

 

[Mutineer]

It’s still a bit early to say but I like those 2 , smilie if he drifts and Travaglia as the smoky

Langford 190cm not far off

No Bo Allan?, if it's big bodied mids he has to be in the discussion.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Yeah like him but have him after pick 10

 

[Pugsley]

It's been different Hamish but it's time to go.

 

[Scorpus]

Our first rounder this year is our most important draft pick ever

 

[GreyCrow]

Yeah I can see WCE liking Sid. High upside, high ceiling

If we manage to get pick 4 and Smillie falls to us, I’d snap him up real fast. Otherwise, if NM takes him, I’d go Lalor

I'd have Lalor over Smillie

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

I’m no draft guru and I’ve never seen him play a full game, clearly he can find the ball, but how concerning is his kick? I don’t think I’ve seen very many highlights where it’s been a highly skilled kick, if anything it seems to be the opposite.

Not elite by any means but looks ok to me technique wise, more concern about his decision making

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Dan Curtin is 197cm and we have the untried Edwards

Wasted second rd picks on Berg and Berry, need Edwards to at least be decent for us

Himmelberg was in the 50s wasn’t he ? Only guy that survived from there draft and he was taken with out last pick

Schoenberg

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Schoenberg

I think it was the Galluci draft , Poholke and Himmelberg

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Cody Angove 4 goals for Claremont colts , classy forward half player in mix for our pick 29 IMO

 

[Chances Are]

Charlie Edwards is 191 cms and developing very nicely. Played well yesterday.I'm not worried by Draper, Reid etc. lack of height in the draft. Clean hands and burst speed is more important IMO.
Curtin 197, Dawson 191, Edwards 191, Dowling 187. We have plenty of height in our young mids.

Used picks in the 20’s on Schoenberg and Sam Berry.

Not super high picks but when you that many around that range you need to hit a few.

Only Soligo and Worrell have looked good.

Need Edwards to be something to give us that athletic bigger body

It’s a bit of the same issue as our top picks - we’ve just missed on too many over the past 7 or so years to be competitive. It’s okay (not preferred, but acceptable) to have the occasional screw-up if you hit on everything else - Sydney aren’t hurting from selecting Dylan Stephens at 5, for instance

No, but with an academy like theirs - Blakey, Gulden, Heeney, Mills. It would be nice to have an academy producing that level of player regularly that we could have access to

Yep be nice , but they also drafted Chad Warner , James Rowbottom and Justin Mcinerny

We’d be in raptures if we drafted any of those

Still reckon we could have done some trading and bid on gulden as early as possible and surprised them as they were committed to taking Braeden Campbell who was a consensus high pick , would have made it very interesting as they hadn’t planned for gulden to go at pointy end

Could have done same with Will Graham from GC last year , just the type of powerful mid we need

 

[Mutineer]

Sammy boi best on and the "Big" unit Flynn Penry in the bests...

As I mentioned Welsh on nose with recruiters , didn’t get a national combine invite . There are guys that didn’t make the 65 that I think can be very good players especially Zak Johnson , Ivisic etc

Any chance he might slide to a rookie pick Jeff in your opinion?
