You have no idea what you're talking about.Except for strength, guts, pace and a right side he was a perfect number 3 pick....

"head of recruiting" was a teacher who had to coach the first 18 each saturday...They didn't even have a full time recruiter when he arrived at the club. Suffice to say their first draft, the one where they had 5 picks inside the top 25, was badly blown and probably had a lot to do with his failure.
You can not question his guts/bravery. Went as hard as anyone and that never waivered despite injury upon injury.Except for strength, guts, pace and a right side he was a perfect number 3 pick....

We need a contested ball beast of a midfielder... I don't think Aish is what we need right now but yeah let's just hope danger chooses us and we work out a trade
I forgot kicking penetration. Gee he was a crap selection.You can not question his guts/bravery. Went as hard as anyone and that never waivered despite injury upon injury.

Are u seriously comparing hawthorns best footballer over the past 10 years with the hack that was Ellis? If you're wanting to argue the point, make it interesting at least..Gee that Sam Mitchell bloke has a great kicking Penetration hey!

How Richmond's list is better than Hawthorns
Talking about pick values, I think our willingness to value picks at their average resulting player is one of the big reason we've been so successful lately. Many clubs (and most fans) seem to value them at the best possible player you could get at that pick. So they'll value pick 7 as their chance of getting the next Joel Selwood, rather than the average of players taken around that pick
Now that is harder to do for higher picks, as if you trade a high pick and that pick ends up being used to grab a great player your fans tear the place down. But we have been very, very willing to trade our low first rounders. Look at every trade week thread and fans of clubs who we've traded for think they have one (with the exception of Gunners).
One danger of this is that sooner or later a club will pick a star with a pick you gave up, but in the long term you'll win more than you lose. (And I suspect that that PR reasoning, the risk of being seen by your fans as missing the chance to get superstar, is a big part of why we see so few high picks shifting around).
I just saw an ad for tonight's footy show and they claim they will reveal who we are chasing. I'm going to take a stab and say that they state that we have entered the race for Treloar. This news would make me truly happy. I believe he's from Noble Park which just happens to be around the corner from Dingley! They wouldn't be making it a headline leading up to the show if it were Dangerfield so I believe it will be someone not already linked to us. I wait with great anticipation.
He was good in 2008 no doubt, but don't kid yourself. He's never looked like a pick 3I think any good football judge would realise that Ellis warranted his selection at pick 3. At the age of 21 he had played 3 good years of football and was one of our top 3 players in our break through 2008 Premiership win. Unfortunately his body couldn't hold up.
If you want to look at some wasted picks, look no further then Dowler / Thorpe.
Since your username is flag08, I thought even you would know that!
Tad suspicious this happens to come out just after the noise surrounding the club re: Dangerfield was growing...I am very hopeful Tarrant being linked to us is just Wrighty being a troll.

Aishs to Aishs and dust to dust
If Treloar doesn't come here then Danger must!!
So Geelong are allegedly after Dangerfield, S Selwood, Henderson and Leuenberger.
It will be difficult fitting them all in at once. Even 3 out of 4 would be a challenge.
Maybe we should do them a favor and take Danger off their hands so they can afford the others...
