It really is a subject far too often rehashed but there were a lot of unfortunate things that kept hitting us. Rough's cancer diagnosis, Brad Hill's departure, Cyril's disenfranchisement and early retirement, Tom's leg break, Birch's endless PCL issues. There were also things that were entirely our fault such as pushing Mitchell and Lewis out the door all at once when it would have been far better for both Tom and Jaeger to integrate to our side with them there.Lake has admitted that he was cooked after the 2015 season and the club was right to tap him on the shoulder. Playing him forward would have thrown out the forward line balance.
The biggest problem is that Hawthorn lost Cyril Rioli at a young age, and the draftees that were selected didn't kick on as expected. The pipeline of young talent couldn't be maintained, which is the purpose of a draft that is based on your finishing position.
No surprise here. He's one of the first picked.Every midfielder's pre-season review
Assistant Coach David Hale gives his player by player review of every Hawks midfielder's 2023 pre-season so far.www.hawthornfc.com.au
Interesting to note and it comes as no surprise to me but might deflate a few about their opinions on Morrison. He is going to play every game if fit. He is a consistent and mature performer on that wing. Knows the game plan and provides on field leadership especially at stoppages organising our midfield.
Interesting to see that CMac was not included in the midfield group. Maybe still seen more as a Forward/Mid, rather than the other way round?
Does he come straight it round one, sans a practice match? Interesting dilemma.Every midfielder's pre-season review

Good reviews on BMAC and Seamus Strapping Young Lad. And a spot on review on Scrimshaw

Spot on with the BMac and Seamus stuff. Unsure if we'll see them in the seniors but they should make for some genuinely exciting football at Box Hill.Every defender's pre-season review

If Bramble does anything well it's move, he's a great runner - provides a lot of overlap. We're clearly looking for that sort of player in how we want to move the ball, and we already have pretty strong representation in other ways down back.I'm genuinely surprised how highly Simmo seems to rate Bramble, especially as a backman.
Can't wait to read up on the forwards, I think O'Sullivan could debut for us early this season.
I find it kinda ironic in a way I literally was thinking in Brambles emulates a bit of a Kade Simpson vibe so I am not surprised he has taken a liken to Bramble.I'm genuinely surprised how highly Simmo seems to rate Bramble, especially as a backman.

I am desperately keen for Seamus to show his stuff this year.Seamus was very good against the Cats. Great to see him get some pats on the back. He’s electric by foot.
Seamus’s write up sounds a lot like Darren Pritchard. If he turned out half a good as Pritch, I’d be happy.I am desperately keen for Seamus to show his stuff this year.
Like Brocky, he's fallen away from people's calculations, almost like a mental write-off, it would be incredible if he could just 'appear' as a high quality recruit.
It’s close in age and only a little less experienced than our 2008 premiership side. Get on board the hawks!Wow I hadn't seen the average age/game played stats for each club this year.
I knew we had a young squad but this has to be the youngest and least experienced side in the competition since expansion. You can't fault Lewis' logic in this article based on that alone.

I think he means buy his thyme. We've supplied an herb garden for him here in Vic.I wonder how much time Meek had to buy ?
Damn guess I have been extremely staunch with Scrimshaw and overlooking a lot of things being said about him basically all off-season hence why the coaches get paid the big bucks and I don't. Appears better decision making on when to defend and when to get involved in the play is the forefront of the issue. I must admit this is one of the times I will have to bite the bullet and admit I was wrong, I am confident he will work it out though. Furthermore will be interesting to see what the line up is v Collingwood. As much as I can see some similarities between Bramble and Kade Simpson, one of the things Bramble will need to work on is some of those dingy kicks he can occasionally do ( which alot of our player need to get out of their system tbh )Jack Scrimshaw
"Scrim uses the ball well and intercept marks – I think he’s just trying to find his spot in the team. I think he’s just got to keep using his offensive weapons – he’s such a beautiful kick when he gets the footy, so we want to try and get the ball in his hands as much as we can. Similar to Dimma, it’s about finding that balance between offense and then defending your man when he's dangerous. Hopefully he can get the ball into his hands through intercept marks, but also some handball receives and uncontested marks, because we are a better team when he’s got the footy."

I hope we give him time to come good, he's a rare talent of elite kicking and speed.Seamus was very good against the Cats. Great to see him get some pats on the back. He’s electric by foot.
