Player Watch Welcome to Hawthorn, Tyler Brockman!

[HAWKSBESTEVA]

Like any of the players Hawthorn actually drafted?

Yeah I do all of them, great draft haul. Added some X factor and speed, elite marking.

 

[Hawkas1988]

Jeez they got a good one in winder

Yeah and we may have an even better one in Brockman

 

[Blackhawk42]

Yeah I do all of them, great draft haul. Added some X factor and speed, elite marking.

The major deficiency I spotted in our list was x-factor. We've gone and added 3 in this draft. Glad the club have really addressed it.

Suddenly our depth in every position looks stronger.

Backline is looking amazing, next year’s draft stacked with exciting mids so I look forward to that

Our mids already look decent in theory as well. Just need it all to gel. Nobody can tell me that Mitchell, Worpel, O'Meara, Shiels, Cousins and Maginness is a poor midfield group. That's without including Wingard running through there. Two more elite kids next season will absolutely see us in a better position as a whole football club.

Nah.


He’s indigenous.

He's ingenious.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

I think a lot of the time for small forwards it's better to look for qualities over output. This kid has jets and tackles hard, if he can bring that week in and week out the goals will take care of themselves.

Poppy 2.0 ?

 

[Dewnior]

Nah.

Dat's ingenious

the way he plays, probably a bit quicker and a better kick. Certainly has X factor and a bit of campaigner about him hopefully.

Welcome Young Man, I love having a Subi player at our club. Go Hawks and Go Subes!

I couldn’t agree more

Welcome Tyler

Welcome Tyler

 

[Roby]

Where was he ranked in comparison to Winder, Ginnivan, Ford and other small forwards?

I wouldn't call Ford a small as he plays big.

Brockman is a good chance to get a few games this year.

I would've preferred Winder as he's much more talented, but Brockman shows more aggressiveness at the moment.

Yeah Winder has it all for a small fwd/mid but happy with Tyler for sure.

Much more talented, says who?
Not HFC or West Coast who seemingly rated Tyler ahead of Winder.

I think I’ll back the opinions of full time recruiters over those who watch highlight packages.

Welcome Tyler!

 

[Hodgey09]

Have a weird feeling about this kid.....think he's gonna come off in spades.

Welcome Tyler!

Talent is only one component that recruiters look at. Desire, work ethic, , leadership ability, off field stuff etc have much more bearing on whether a talented player becomes successful in senior footy

 

[Wingnut19]

love the fact West Coast had a hard on for this kid. They know their local league better then anyone, and could well of been trying to hide him. They recruit well, so kudos for getting a pick in before them.

No doubt, I agree. However if a player has no talent, the rest doesn’t matter. Making definitive statements about talent viewed through highlights, doesn’t hold much weight either.

Plus, Tyler is Hawthorn now. He’s better than 55 other players in the draft!!! #FACT

From what I've read, they (WCE) rated our man better than Winder & perhaps took Winder on account of missing Brockman.

Given they'd have seen them both play all year, I'm liking that context.

 

[hawkdork83]

A very exciting highlights package this kid. Sticky hands and seems to take the game on.

I ddin't watch highlights packages.

You keep saying that but you have no idea what I have watched.

Maybe you should stop watching highlights packges and pretend you know what you are talking about.

Maybe you should take your own advice
