Player Watch Hawthorn NGA 2021 and beyond

[wahawk]

So correction Cat B allows max 3 so we could take another.
It’s a good question typically NGA = Cat A and my understanding is that would preclude Cat B status as they are meant to come from a non traditional football pathway. Even if ethnically they meet the criteria that would be a total rort. But like all things AFL it’s unclear and impossible to get information on. I believe Cat B can be taken as a rookie so can also be Cat A. Clear as mud right?

Josh Bennetts was our only Cat B
Now JUH added

 

[wahawk]

We had 5 Cat A
Blanck
Ramsden
Mitchell
Stephens
Tucker

So now 3

 

[wahawk]

As of today we have 39 listed players

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

I can't not see James Worpel. But I won't set the same expectations on the kid. This is going to be a much harder team to break into at the beginning of his career.

Could be our Hartung

 

[Snoref]

If his linked to the Hawks hope that no bids come in before our 33 pick

There's a good chance we will use 33 plus a future pick to trade down on the night.

No it’s 40. We had 44 plus 2 Cat B, we added 2 in trade period and we cut 6. The breakdown is 36 and 4 with 2 Cat B players on top.

Heard the Beast from the East on SEN earlier. The lack of a Hawthorn NGA mention has me slightly concerned.

Don't be. He's already rehabbing his ankle at Waverley.

 

[Threadkilla]

Cheers, that’s a relief. A huge oversight by the interviewers because they were asking him which clubs seem keen as if he’s in the open pool.

They did ask which club he wanted to go to and he said Hawthorn despite being a Bulldogs supporter.

Heard that. No big deal but would’ve thought they’d have touched on the NGA situation.

It’s Andy Maher and Gaze clearly the discussion will focus on BBQs and the whipper snipper all manor of Australian stereotypes…

 

[hfc70]

Where do you think you will be
drafted ?
Cody - prob between 35 & 55

 

[PenAndPaper]

and just hours of Maher gaslighting Gazey as if that is the most hilarious thing ever.

Anyone know anything about Oliver Greeves and whether or not he’s in our NGA for 2025?

Apparently a very highly rated 191cm midfielder with elite skills and a basketball background who plays for Eastern Ranges. Has impressed the last couple years as an underage player.

Reason I ask is I saw an IG post hyping him up and stating he’d be an AFL academy and first round lock for 2025. Lost the post to an automatic feed refresh when I jumped on Google to look him up.

Couldn’t find anything explicitly linking him to our NGA (or any academy) but as we know it’s near impossible to find that info for even current year players.

I did come across that he is from Vermont Junior FC which is Connor Downie’s junior club and obviously he was in our NGA. So if he is NGA eligible, good chance it’s with us.
