Pickett is a way better midfielder than all of our small forwards. He wouldn’t force out any of them, he would play a lot of midfield and also be dangerous up forward.
how do we read scott saying guthrie and Hawkins are still a live chance for finals? Just trolling the opposition?
VFL is finals only now so Guthrie can't play in themGreater than 0 is still a chance, just not a very high chance. Could see a version of events where we see C.Guthrie being a sub, if he got through a VFL game or 2. Could see Hawkins play if he have an injury to a KPF or 2, not ideal but everyone should be preparing to be in the best condition that can be whether they are called up or not.
VFL is finals only now so Guthrie can't play in them
Would be hella risky to call him up with only match sims and training for finals
Hawkins only plays at this point if Neale is injured

I'm worried that North Melbourne and St Kilda will eventually bring upon us the apocalypse.
If true they must have changed the rules from years ago without me noticingPretty sure teams that are still in the AFL finals can play anyone in the VFL finals even if they haven't played any games in the VFL during the H&A season
Each to their own.
He is great to watch play footy. Highlight reel stuff.
I don’t know why anyone would hate him as an opposition supporter.
I just think that will take of itself through attrition. If you are recruiting a 23-24 year old Pickett you are doing so for the next 8 years not just next year.

Unless they stop training it’s the truth ain’t it? They are both still training and hoping to play.how do we read scott saying guthrie and Hawkins are still a live chance for finals? Just trolling the opposition?

The point is if either were no chance they wouldn’t be bothering with the pretence of the effort they are putting in now. I don’t think this is less of a distraction than ruling a line through both of them. That would be neater.Are they actually training or just on their modified programs still?
I can't remember the last time I saw either player actually partaking in a main training session
I think it's also good PR to keep talking up the positives of players who in all likelihood aren't going to be close to selection - keeps a more positive mood amongst the team and especially fans
In regards to Hawkins, part of me wouldn't be surprised if post our finals campaign it came out that Hawkins knew he was never a chance to return, but they didn't want that to distract from the teams goal or what they were trying to achieve
The one who impresses me the most is weddle. Absolute star in the making. Pretty sure you where huge on him hos draft year from memory poThey will run out of puff as they have too many kids that dont know finals heat but long term they are really good.
Clearly not obvious.He's a dirty player. And even worse a sniper looking to injure people.
That's why people don't like him.
Thought this was obvious.
Not worth it for the marginal gains on field and the huge capitol it would cost. We dont need small forwards.We're stacked for small forward who can get up the ground. You'd be forcing one of Mannagh or Close out of the 22. The benefit is the difference between lets say Close and Pickett, but you'd be paying the full price to get him, especially as he is contracted and young.
Clearly not obvious.
Maybe you are looking for reasons to dislike Pickett?
They have..it used to be like 12 games minimum now its while the afl team is still going theres no min.
So next week for vfl QF we can stack it with afl listed players but once we get to a vfl prelim if the afl team has been knocked out by then those guys cant play (note guys like humphries and mannagh as well as parfitt etc would still be eligible as have played the min no of vfl games but guys like hawkins and guthrie and probably clark wouldnt be).
