2024 Picks



2025 Picks

Really pays to be a garbage team full of deserting rats

The good thing is that some of the key ones we need to put knees (Balta on Newcombe) and elbows into (Lynch) are still there.

The Scoreboard beatings will be glorious.

But that club has an incredibly rotten soul, and while a super draft might supply the talent, who is going to supply a compass to guide them?

Nobody good at a guess.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Hopper and Taranto would have a life-size cut out of Damien Hardwick that they take to the local rifle range, me thinks.

I'm almost certain that if Dodo was still in charge that Taranto would be at Essendon next season.

I'll be very, very surprised if he sees out his career at Richmond.

 

[Roddy]

anything happen yet or should i check back at 7 tonight?

Based on current and previous trade periods, go back to bed, then get up and paint your fence and watch it dry, then plant some grass and watch it grow, and check back at 7.20....

L.Hodge has an offer to return to Hawthorn as a part time mentor/work on leadership

 

[nickrebellious]

TB is great when he actually plays, no more then 19 games a year and what happens if he breaks down at the pointy end of the year? This is roughly a 20% chance given his previous history over the last 4-5 years (18, 16, 19, 14 and 18 over this stretch)

I would be all in getting him if we didnt get Battle and we still have Frosty and Blanck to return from our semi final team. He isn't as required as we all seem to think he is

The other part to this is Tassie coming into the comp and the upcoming compromised drafts. We cant look to not bring in some young talent during these years and then get screwed during these compromised drafts also

Maybe a reason TB wants out is because of West Coasts injury management. Every year they have one of the worst injury lists. They keep rushing injured players back in. All of their over 30s have struggled to stay on the park.

 

[HairyO]

I imagine we’ll be into Richmond for one of their first rounders.

For DGB if WCE dont come through with the goods ?

With us?

 

[Hawk Vision]

Richmond basically don’t have a forward line now, wonder if they have enquired about Lewis.

 

[Mashy]

The club should mandate that he has Cooper by his side at all times.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

L.Hodge has an offer to return to Hawthorn as a part time mentor/work on leadership

Absolutely no chance he leaves beautiful Brisbane for this hell hole called Melbun. None

 

[Franko Armani]

Barrass in a brown and gold jumper shortly.

Father/Son nomination confirmed. Love it

 

[Elhawko]

This exactly. Going to have a team of B graders. Ain't winning a flag.

The thing for me is that they are adding eight new players to a list that has Taranto and Balta and not much else and that just won the spoon; they had no member of the AA squad, let alone team; no members in the under 22 team; not even a member in Robbo's top 50. To make a bad situation worse, three of their top 6 in the B&F just left, and the other three are all 31 and over next year. Lynch and Prestia and coming to the end, too. I don't think they could do anything else other than grab this opportunity but they are starting from a long way back. It will be really interesting to see how they go.

 

[peetoo]

They are going to be worse than North/WCE in recent years IMO. Their players over 25 next year are:

32 - Prestia (no hammies)
32 - Lynch (cooked and a flog)
32 - Broad
32 - McIntosh
32 - Vlaustin
31 - Nankervis
30 - Short
28 - Hopper
27 - Taranto
25 - Balta

They will be even worse in 2026, even though they have talented young kids. The genuine concern is their development when in two years most of the good senior players are gone.

I have a wry smile when recently they are saying a problem with AFLW is one sided games.

Yet in AFLM even though we have record numbers of close finishes, 2-3 teams each year are u23 strength, and it’s accepted

Tiggers can’t afford to fluck this draft up
(Tambling, Meyer, Pattison, Polo 2004 vibes)
We should help them and take some picks off their hands

 

[westhawk]

What exactly makes Mackie one of the best list managers?

Seems like an arrogant prick, just like he came across as a player. Has got an easy job at Geedroit aswell, just offering out under the table deals. The land has to run out eventually.

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

Absolutely no chance he leaves beautiful Brisbane for this hell hole called Melbun. None

Your wrong! Hodgey has already said via the media Lauren is a protective mum and reckons they’ll move where ever cooper goes!

So there’s a chance they could end up in Melbourne.

Hawks got creative in the last expansion with drafting players like Smith, Hill, Puopolo and McEvoy, Hale as trades. It needn’t be a bust. All those draftees were available to most clubs

I live in Queensland.. there are any number of reasons why I’d prefer to live in Melbourne… Queensland has nice weather but it’s got its own issues, believe me..

And, as already mentioned, it will be hilarious if we somehow get our pick 14 back for less than a f1 + f2.

Id do it just for the shits and giggles

I think they'll trade 14 for swans 19+22.

2004 was crap draft except delidio and the hawks Guys

The rest of the draft combined would be hard pushed to produce more than those 4 combined

It really was a pretty shallow draft. We really couldn’t have done much better than that.

[Mercy Seat]

They are 18th and were going nowhere with what they had after Hardwick screwed them and left. That's a super draft hand. Yes, they might miss with some picks but in a good draft that's as good a rebuilding springboard as you can get, noting they will certainly finish bottom 4 again and get another high pick next year, at the very least. They got overs for all three departing players.

I don't mind their strategy. Our goal was to hit the draft over 3 years with 7-9 top 30 picks. They'll essentially do the same in one off season. They'll stink for a few years but will have the lure to potentially trade and top up when the time is right. Not sure about Yze though.

 

[peetoo]

Do eagles have their F2 and F3 intact?

If we got those with Barass for our 2x F1 how would that look?
