2024 Picks



2025 Picks

Worpel had more than 2 down years before bouncing back.

and his trade value then was lot lower than after he bounced back. So it is in our interest to talk about why he should be valued lower and have data on our side.

Robbo says on Afl360 clubs having more control on contracts and trading players as they wish is coming…hallelujah!!!!!

this will be something that will only be a good thing if you are the team losing the player. The team trading for the player will lose any leverage and the player will be left out to dry. The issue with us vs the US system is the financial compensation that players get in AFL vs all their sports.

As much as Slobbo said it is coming, not sure I can see AFLPA agreeing to it.

While it seems attractive in a situation like Brockman leaving, imagine it with a player saying they want to come to Hawthorn and suddenly every team in Victoria can throw their hat in the ring as well, almost hinders the team thats been nominated

Ned Guy on Gettable this morning with some interesting comments. Sounds like trading two years in to the future with more flexibility is happening this year, and pick purchasing is also on the way (not sure when).

Fantastic news for us.

Trade picks for players, buy more picks. Cap space is finally worth it.

I can't put myself through listening to it for a third week in a row. Was there anything else notable in the episode?

Keep DGB

No point giving him away for nothing

 

[RutegerJones]

Mackenzie has it. Poise and clean skills. He will be a star.

Agree that Ward hasnt come on quite as well for whatever reason. Still time though

I think he has the traits, just needs to spend time playing in his chosen position, which is hard at present. He may never get to gun status, but he'll be a very solid player for the club.

HAWTHORN

The Hawks will surely look to bolster their key defensive stocks over the off-season given their deficiencies in that area of the ground, especially given Sam Frost is nearing the end of his career. Jacob Weitering was reportedly offered a monster deal by St Kilda, could the Hawks make a similar play after unsuccessfully going after Ben McKay and Esava Ratugolea last year? They’ve been linked to Western Bulldogs superstar Bailey Smith who would improve their midfield mix. Blake Hardwick is a restricted free agent and could attract rival interest, especially if he keeps shining as a forward, while Denver Grainger-Barras might also benefit from a change of scenery. Decisions on triple-premiership veterans Luke Breust and Jack Gunston are yet to happen, with the pair getting closer to hanging up the boots.

Pretty sure Breust is contracted for next year, isn't he?

Ah yep, just found the article that said he'd been extended until the end of 2024. Apologies!

Keep DGB

No point giving him away for nothing

If he asks to leave you facilitate it and that’s about right unfortunately.

Given the cats likely finish about 6th and then slide next year that would rate Worpel around Harley Reid. Fend offs are in vogue it seems!

Not particularly. It was said that Smith is either Hawks or Cats but that’s nothing new.

It wasn’t so bad in previous years, but now Twomey has become a little too confident.

 

[The Chad and I]

Worpel had more than 2 down years before bouncing back.

I would not have traded a first round pick for him either…

I like Worps, but whatever you think he was worth after his breakout season, that value was greatly diminished until he bounced backed last season.

It would be further diminished had he injured his acl.

Am I living in some alternate universe where season ending injuries and 2 consecutive seasons down on his best form don’t matter?

The guy should be a late teen pick.
That is all.

I watched it because with my ruptured Achilles I have time to kill and I’m obviously a glutton for punishment. I often think the anti hawks posts are a bit OTT but even today they get players to do a bit to camera about gettable and every time they thank the player. Ginnivan today was the first player and nothing I have never seen that.
then daicos was next they couldn’t stop for a minute. Like everything else of late I’m having to acknowledge the conspiracy theorists increasingly should be rebranded as truth tellers!

averaged 30 touches and career highs in basically every stat in 2022 wtf is this "two down years" narrative that people have seemingly made up

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

sure he wasnt kicking-5 goals-in-a-prelim-good but this idea he was shit in 2022 seems to exist purely because he got caught doing coke in the off-season
