Looking back, it really is a dumpster pick.
Petrevski-Seton, Aaron Francis, Jaydn Stephenson, Caleb Marchbank, Reece Conca, Matthew Scharenberg (injuries for him rather than talent). Its pretty grim.
Adelaide probably want to avoid pick 6 as well after taking McAsey and Rachele.
Bailey Humphrey from 2022 looks like he'll be great, but outside of him, Wingard and King ... yikes
Absolutely loved his mad as a cut snake attitude. Just needed to channel it a bit better and be able to have his body hold up. All the best, hope he gets a gig!

I remember one his marks in his first game (may have been his first ever mark) on the 50 metre line with opponent behind him. He just sort of crashed in and took a spectacular mark - which the umpire deemed illegal and awarded a free kick against. To this day I have no clue why it wasn't paid, maybe the umpire deemed it an excessively aggressive mark!
Anyway, the excitement he generated in this tiny snapshot was immense. Such a shame it didn't continue on. I held out hope for years (and thought maybe the tank issues were undiagnosed long covid). Thanks for your efforts Denver, I hope you make it to another club and do well such that we regret not extending your stay at the Hawks.

Sad to see DGB go but thems the breaks unfortunately.
All the best Denver.
All the best Denver.
Pick 6 is the devil
Feel for the guy. But the toe injury did him no favours, nor the 2 new acquisitions.
Hopefully he forges a career. I like the guy.

I hope for his sake that it does. He has four years on the list, which means we have been pretty patient with him. Gold Coast only gave Scrimshaw two years.
If another club can do better than us with DGB, good luck to them.
