1.Scrimshaw, Amon, Impey, Frost, Chol, Ambrosia, Wingard all picked up over the last seven or so. All of them can contribute.I’d love someone here to take off their rose coloured glasses and summarise why/how the Hawks rebuild has made Arden St look like The Salvos.
The Hawks play with urgency. They exert intense pressure. They move the ball at speed. They have elite ball users…..All the things we don’t do/have.
2.They have been in the relative advantage of finishing low on the ladder, but not low enough to be forced into picking endless inside mids. They have instead picked up their mids from slightly later picks and picked players that provide list balance.
3. They have recruited or drafted KPP semi-regularly.
4. They have done better with rookie/MSD/later picks than North.
5. They have better experience/leadership.
