Depends on your definition of best draft. It’s certainly a deep draft for good talent but calling it the best is clearly wrong. There aren’t any standout players and a lot of the depth is KP which is always hit and miss. It’s probably more likely that later picks will make it more than normal so it’s a good draft for you to load up in especially with Tasmania coming.
For the hawks we’ve already been to the draft and taken many good picks and are moving away from drafting to trade/FA to fill our list holes. We don’t really need more top end picks we need an elite mid a KPF and a KPD. Battle and Barrass potentially solve 1-2 of this problems freeing up someone like Sicily or Weddle to play forward.

We aren’t the pies. We currently hold multiple future firsts and seconds it’s not like we are out of drafting if we find we need to get back in. Barrass will cost blues picks so eagles get the first and second they wanted and we only give up pick 14 which is what we wanted.
Smart business to include a desperate 3rd party.

So hawks are 36-4 meaning they can only make 2 additions to the senior list, under rules need to make 3 (Rookie upgrades or NDs)

So my understanding is there must be atleast 1 more delisting from the Senior 36 group (Whether theyre agreed to be rookie listed later on or not)

Wouldn't surprise if we delist Butler but with a promise to pick him up again

Im thinking it will be Gunston or Breust, just not sure how theyd feel

Haven't both signed already? But you could delist and rookie I suppose.

Yes wingard was contracted when we delisted him and picked him up again. We will likely do that with Gunston no one is taking him. It’s the nonsense consequences of the AFL having too many rules.

If I was Adelaide I would take him in the rookie draft for the lols.

Makes more room for our rumored NRL addition, the Beast from the East and 1 other draft pick.
