Jeremy McGovern - pick 44 in 2011 rookie draft.
Harris Andrews - pick 61 in 2014 national draft.
Dylan Grimes - pick 2 in 2010 preseason draft
Tom Jonas (made 4 straight AA squads) - pick 16 in 2011
rookie draft.
It isn’t always about where they get picked, it’s what you do with them when you get them.
Comes down to coaching and development more-so than pure talent.
Brian lake Pick 71. Your slipping Hawk fans.Your'e going back a bit with some of these.
I'll give you Harris Andrews, although he was a matched second round bid from the lions academy.
The above was not to suggest that we have a guaranteed future star KPD.
Just that his draft profile reads fairly similarly to the current competition's best.
Early reports from the likes of Andy Collins are that we are pretty happy.
I guess I'm just a glass half full kind of guy.
Did he mention Serong's growth spurt?Sicily mentioned in his presser today that Weddle is 195cm.
If you watch his highlights he looks a million bucks but these are in isolation and if you watch him in games and he gets lost and also doesn’t make great decisions on a consistent basis.
At this stage he is more athlete than footballer which is fine but his footy IQ needs to develop enormously to meet the ridiculous hype the commentators have thrust on him this off season.
He is a joy to watch don’t get me wrong here just want to give people a reality check on where he is at.
Korn is wrong more than he is right.Korn has turned a huge corner.
this week he put newk as a top 10 lock in the brownlow. ... more interestingly was his description of him as a player now.. yesterday had Wiz down for over 36 goals... he loves Day.
sometimes it's nice to leave the reality below the surface for a while & hook the compliments & grandiose statements straight into the veins.
life is short.
Thinking about the footballer Weddle might be in 2-3 years is tantalising
I am glad you have noticed this. I thought I was alone. In fact, my impression is that the majority of men over thirty are pregnant - some with twins or triplets - but no-one is talking about it. Reality out the door indeed.Realty went out the door when men started getting pregnant.

Korn is wrong more than he is right.
He doesn't care and isn't held accountable.
Something to think about.
He said the height and weight so specifically that it sounds like it would be true.Sicily mentioned in his presser today that Weddle is 195cm.
What was the weight? The club website has Weddle listed at 92kg. If he has added 4cm in height, you would expect his kgs to be up as well.He said the height and weight so specifically that it sounds like it would be true.

No need. We already have the best CHB in the comp. We need to find who can play the key back role on the very last line of defence.195cm… Weddle to CHB?
That's bloody awesome if he has indeed grown 3 cm.He said 195cm and 95kg
There's a young man in your avatar who'd fit that description.He is the most 'could be anything' footballer I think I've ever seen at Hawthorn.
Didn’t he recently hold himself accountable about a call he made on the Hawks?Korn is wrong more than he is right.

If I remember right, which is questionable, I think it was the ‘most boring list/no potential’. I may have just dreamt it too, I assume we all dream of positive Kane content towards the Hawks.Which call? There's been a few... both positive and negative.
It was the "most boring" list or words to that effect.If I remember right, which is questionable, I think it was the ‘most boring list/no potential’. I may have just dreamt it too, I assume we all dream of positive Kane content towards the Hawks.
Edit: Maybe the list he would least like to have?
He didn’t really hold himself accountable, he just said it’s not true anymore. Ie he was right at the time but we’ve drafted well etcIt was the "most boring" list or words to that effect.
I think it was something like "if you're Hawthorn supporter, whose number are you getting on your guernsey?"
