I’d be interested but Ethan Phillips is worth a shot as well, picking up one as defensive backup would be handy.

Getting them twice will be the biggest “equalisation” factor of all time.
Just another reason why the AFL fixture is a joke. Anyone who says it does not affect the season is kidding themselves.
Really be nice to beat them by 100+ next season.

Set us up for another 20 years
Spent last night googling his stats and his highlights (vfl and junior days).
His draft highlights are super strong - looked quick, tough and calm with the ball. You can absolutely see why he was rated so highly. His only games of note in the VFL were as a forward and whilst they show some contested marking ability they don't scream "natural forward."
Clearly the hawks know more than anyone. I tend to over-rate previous high draft picks, feeling like maybe we can turn them around. I'm sure the cats (and most clubs for that matter) have had a look and we haven't at all been linked to him so i guess it's a no.
True. But at least at the moment there is hope and anticipation. With Ess there’s just nothing.

The main question marks have been endurance and strength/physicality.
From what I've seen from Hawks supporters, he had the odd game where you thought "This guy has something" but it never really amounted to any streak of form.
I wouldn't be against recruiting him, but Hawthorn are a good club who know what they have with players most of the time. Very to similar to us, they rarely let go of guns.
If he had been at Norf, St Kilda, or the Suns I'd probably be more excited about the prospect of 'fixing him' so to speak, as they tend to have no idea what they're doing, and a better development program like ours could change that.

I did also see some commentary that there's a lot of endurance questions on him. Like he looked great then fades within games.
With the Hawks having Barrass and Battle coming in, and Frost now relegated to his natural position in the vfl, perhaps they might have thought of the years it would take to build the tank and the frame and thought it wasn't worth the effort for them.
I'd be ok with rookie listing him. Tie a rope around him and Dempsey and tell him to keep up.
Talking some picks. …. so is he think they trade R2 and R3 …. to points clubs. R3 will be interesting as the new points scale cuts out at P54

Mackie inferred we'd get a few more experienced players
Wonder who he's referring to?
Tomlinson, Granger Barrass
Perhaps re rookying Rohan to get him to 100 cats games for the father son

I think whilst they will keep an open mind depending on who gets taken before they have an opportunity to trade back in, I think that they are very open to our F1 being involved.
We’ve had history of trading back into drafts when we’ve initially traded out.
Who we are interested in is the $6M question.

With COS a year older and Blicavs moving out of midfield I don't think we need to go down the mature aged route for key position players. I'd just stick to drafting a developing tall.

I think we take at least 1 from Werribee

Yeah I agree I think Henderson or Bice unless they are gone before our picks.
Hmmm today's Addy blurbing what we already knew, Smith deal was done well before deadline. Mackie is a fan of reducing trade week, saying Clubs have plenty of time before it, but "doesn't think about it much"

Being tall isn't the be all and end all.
My 17 year old is now 190. Would eat the arse out of a low flying duck if he could. Eats 4 full meals per day.
Struggles sitting at some restaurant tables. Hates the lack of space on public transport. Dont even talk about planes.
I see him duck under doors because he's not sure if he will get under it.
He has no leg space driving my car. It's a sports car and he tries to adjust it but his head just ends up hitting the ceiling.
Says his queen size bed is too short.
It's really pissing him off now. He wants growth to stop.
And as a parent. Oh my, the new clothes you have to buy in a grown spurt!
I wish he was still playing footy to be honest. But covid killed that idea.
Height will help him in business at least.

I absolutely think they should use all 8.
They'll still finish bottom 4 next year.
But by the time Tas come in they'll be 3 years ahead in development.

Our future 1st would at best get us pick 23 or 24 from Richmond
Can I love this twice …. but it just gets down to him not going before the pick we can get
What the story with Syd? Will they need picks next year … or do they know they will br drowning in picks after losing a certain player...
