Steven Tyler
Brownlow Medallist
He's a delisted free agentWhat is the likelihood that someone like Xavier Richards would last until Pick 88 anyway? I would've thought zero.
Not going into the draft

X. Richards would be handy for a DFA
On the other hand, picking up a Shitney delistee and turning him into a Hawthorn gun sounds enticing...I dont think we would be a good fit for his needs.
Sydney probably only offered him peanuts to stay and he is probably after significant game time also.
In summary: He would cost too much for what he brings, we wouldn't be able to gurantee him a game every week AND he would take a spot away from Harwick Stewart Lovell etc.
Pass for me.
Has Richards actually been delisted yet? I thought Sydney offered him a contract, but he asked for a trade instead. They may delist him to help him get where he wants to go, but it's never a guarantee
He's stated as delisted on the AFL website.
He's not better than TOB. Only reason he gets a game is because the $tains don't have any forwards outside of FranklinI think we should look at Richards. He's no star but he is no worse than his brother at the same age. He played in a grand final less than a month ago. Given our alternative is a rubbish late pick, I wouldn't mind him on the list as depth. He's better than TOB and maybe we could turn him into a defender.

'far' is really underselling it.Kicks a lot more goals at the ressies level than TOB. Granted the VFL is far superior to the NEAFL.
I have a feeling Cyril will spend a lot more time in the midfield next season. Last couple of years has looked stronger and stronger and will be coming into his physical best years in the next few.If we could get that green fella from Brisbane we could play rioli and pupplo through the midfield a lot more.
Actually, rioli is coming off a pretty cruisey year as our main forward target - he should be refreshed enough to play a full year through the guts.
Jom tom and Cyril - new midfield.
Certainly a bigger frame than Tim O'Brien.This all i could find, hope this helps:
Nash on Hawthorn's radar
24 August 2015
Meath midfielder Conor Nash
Meath minor midfielder Conor Nash is being monitored by AFL champions Hawthorn.
According to the AFL website, the Hawks are pursuing the promising Simonstown youngster who is also a talented rugby player.
The St Pat's student, who was selected at full-back in Ireland's under-18 club rugby team back in February, recently spent some time 'Down Under' with the back-to-back premier champions but, having only recently turned 17, it is understood that he is not yet old enough to sign with an AFL club.

He's a big unit, if you take in to consideration that those two school kids are about 6 feet tall, as ive heard there is something in the water and they breed them big in Tasmania
TOB has a place in Hawthorns team... be it as a forward or as a backman. He just needs to put some muscle weight on his bonesHe's not better than TOB. Only reason he gets a game is because the $tains don't have any forwards outside of Franklin
Back Pocket / Half Back Flank, for sure. I reckon he's got huge potential back there.TOB has a place in Hawthorns team... be it as a forward or as a backman. He just needs to put some muscle weight on his bones
If as Wright has said we didnt want Lewis to leave then a like for like replacement would be Barlow.
Morrabito's knees are shagged and he's slowed down. What he's been through to come back, wow, that is incredible guts, but there is no way we'll pick him up. I'd bet my house on that.
Surely we dont take Woody off a rookie list, just to replace him with Morabito......what would be the point?Morrabito's knees are shagged and he's slowed down. What he's been through to come back, wow, that is incredible guts, but there is no way we'll pick him up. I'd bet my house on that.
we had a Morabito on our list, his name was Alex WoodwardI'd bet your house on that too.
