Might be a long wait. Seems like a bit of a legend.Who has something bad to say about Lloyd Meek? SHOW YOURSELVES!!!!!!!!
In that delicious scenario they will certainly not be taking Harley to the Prom!WC aren't coming out of this quagmire before the Tassie compromised draft and there's little chance of them rebuilding for years after that. I for one look forward to them sucking shit for a decade.
Borderline unfair?All I'm hoping is that you'll have some weird compatibility issues because those guys + Warner is borderline unfair on the rest of the league, especially given that he's also only 23.

Despite starting their rebuild after us, Hawks have comparable demographics so it's not surprising they are on the rise.Not sure how the Hawks did it so quickly but they’re bloody good again! Eviscerated the slime yesterday.
The Game lift out in the Worst is pretty grim reading for them. I think they’re losing patience. Although they did still rate Harley a 6 (2nd highest overall) after saying he was pretty ordinary
Well they haven't really done a rebuild imo, it's more a RTB replumb. For instance on the weekend they only had 8 players in the side under the age of 25 that they have actually drafted (we had 12 Saturday). Plus they had 13 players aged 25 or over in their side yesterday, we only had 8.Despite starting their rebuild after us, Hawks have comparable demographics so it's not surprising they are on the rise.
It's frustrating because I dont think they've drafted that well. DGB a complete miss, Ward is pretty meh but they hit the jackpot (with where they were taken) on Moore, Day and Necombe. I also think McKenzie will be pretty good.Well they haven't really done a rebuild imo, it's more a RTB replumb.

Personally I think they are going to pay for short circuiting the process just like Adelaide have; too many B graders, too many players near their career drop off point who will have to be replaced before the under 24 players are in their prime.
Maybe ours is not a good side to compare to since our semi double dip rebuild in quick succession has resulted in a very large number of players aged 21 to 26 on the list (21 to 24 in particular). Instead look and see how many of their top tier players have been drafted or traded in during the 'rebuild' phase, it's not many.
I was really proud of him yesterdayMeek is currently ranked at 8th on total impact for games in ruckmen, he's really seizing his opportunity.
For comparison, if people are interested, Luke Jackson is ranked 7th and Sean Darcy is ranked 4th.
I dunno, I'm obviously biased but I don't think we have a reliance on older players like Adelaide did nor do I think whether or not they were drafted or acquired is that important. Sicily is really our only vital player getting that close to 30, and you guys have a similar player in Pearce at the same age. The rest of them we can replace in due course without losing too much.Well they haven't really done a rebuild imo, it's more a RTB replumb.

Your KPPs look a way off being flag quality. Fit Lewis is great but it's hard to get excited about much else.I dunno, I'm obviously biased but I don't think we have a reliance on older players like Adelaide did nor do I think whether or not they were drafted or acquired is that important.

The important part is the core and with Meek (thanks) I think our midfield is set for close to a decade. The rest can be retooled without too many issues.
Can be said about most of the league these days. Real dark period for KPFs at the moment, whether that's the talent or the game not accommodating them I'm not sure. Collingwood just won a flag with Brody Mihocek after all.Your KPPs look a way off being flag quality. Fit Lewis is great but it's hard to get excited about much else.
Even while still under factory warrranty, only an idiot buys a Jeep. Dutton Automotive should be able to fix that up soon.And hell be slipping out well before his Jeep turns into a pumpkin, ...
i'm suspicious that it's going to be their grand final to use the old clicheMan I hope we get the phone-it-in-Eagles in the return derby. Could put 150 on them easy.
yeah i'm not a massive believer in them long term, they haven't aggressively topped up in the same way the saints did for 2020 but if I had to guess I reckon they end up in a similar spot over the next few years in being around the mark for the bottom of the 8, but not being a particularly legit top contender.Well they haven't really done a rebuild imo, it's more a RTB replumb.

they made sacrifices and tough decisions that WCEs wouldn't make, such as getting rid of some of their older 'stars' such as Mitchell and O'MearaNot sure how the Hawks did it so quickly but they’re bloody good again! Eviscerated the slime yesterday.

Mihocek is a good player, tbf.Can be said about most of the league these days. Real dark period for KPFs at the moment, whether that's the talent or the game not accommodating them I'm not sure. Collingwood just won a flag with Brody Mihocek after all.
That's right ...a big Jeep.Even while still under factory warrranty, only an idiot buys a Jeep. Dutton Automotive should be able to fix that up soon.
To continue the discussion, I think Hawks will HAVE to be able to convince a couple of elite players to join to make the leap to genuine contender. Max King, while he has doubters, could be big for them and Bailey Smith rounds out the midfield nicely. Throwing the absolute sink at Mac Andrew wouldnt be the worst idea eitherMihocek is a good player, tbf.

Yeah Andrew and King would probably do it.To continue the discussion, I think Hawks will HAVE to be able to convince a couple of elite players to join to make the leap to genuine contender.
