Not just picking on your post alone … more a response to the vibe of it ….

If we keep drafting in top 10 talent …. eventually by sheer metrics, if you can keep the players their for long enough (contracts), you will rise up the ladder through drafted talent alone.

The drafting SOS has done in the last TWO years (this is his third draft) has been fantastic for the club. This year he will again, inject top flight talent in. This shit just takes time. Any FA's you "jag" along the way will help to speed up this process, but building the "core" of your team really can only be achieved through the draft.

This is what SOS is doing.

We've been getting top 10 picks for the last 10 years Crush ! Lets hope SOS picks better ones than what our previous nuffies have picked .

 

[passmark]

Even with the latest round of depressing rumours/ news, I still don't want. Id still trade pick 1.

For what/who?

 

[reubsblues]

Shiel to the hawks
Yeah because the hawks 70 yr old biased boot studder told his old mate who's a carlton supporter who told someone who is on bigfooty

This is actually the 4th draft that SOS has been on deck.

 

[Gavstar]

Seven boys saying Shiel to Hawthorn.

When they get whupped by Geelong/Melbourne next week maybe that will change again.

Hawks won’t make the eight next year will have much tougher draw book mark it!

Sorry will be the fourth soon … not third as posted you are correct!

I've been expecting them to bomb out for the last few years ,They keep getting these top end players through trades and stuff and they keep delivering .

Time goes bloody quick don't it.

They need to bring in multiple top-end players fast or else they'll fall off a cliff within 2 years.

The team we just saw was pretty much their best 22 (- Birchall who will probably retire).

Not much upside in that team with most in the 23-30 age bracket and only a few 21 and under.

The end will come for Burgoyne, Roughead and Puopolo quickly. The benefit for them will be a to of cap space to spend, which they undoubtedly will.

Ok let's say agro's source is a list manager.

First of all, which list manager?

Would Brisbane's list manager know what is going on between Shiel and his management?

Would Hawthorn's list manager have a vested interest in spreading around news about Shiel coming?

Second of all, the rumours and state of play in early September are not how it will be in mid October when this shit matters.

Third of all, how the **** are the Hawks going to satisfy GWS?

Ceglar? He's ok, but the Giants could target Billy Longer whose on the outer at the Saints or a half-dozen other second tier rucks.

So basically, I don't particularly buy this.

It could wind up being true, but I am doubtful.

 

[SickQwon]

I doubt a player is about to head into finals thinking about which club he's going to. The bloke just wants to play footy.

No decision will be made until GWS's run is over.

Rumours are rumours. There's only like 2 posters on this board anyone should be paying attention to anyway.

 

[BlueRenaissance]

We know SoS is good but he is playing with fire a little bit. By 2020 we will might have 22 first round picks on our list. And if we are bottom 4, we will be a laughing stock due to that number of first round picks in combo with shitness.

SoS has brought in a few injury prone players who will contribute to that in Marchy, Pickett, now Kennedy & Garlett. He is interested in Settlefield too which could add to the list. Underlying that is the previous list mgrs injury prone players.

 

[reubsblues]

McGovern Fasolo Markov are the future

You forgot back to back magarey medalist
Mitch Grigg

Who's my rival?

 

[BlueRenaissance]

Would rather accuracy, personally.

Have you followed this year's players and posts on this forum?

As I know you have, I'm sure you can relate to the accuracy of all the past threads about Shiel or any player on here.

 

[teagueyubeauty]

A friend was discussing this with me last week, mentioned John Ceglar, i just sat in silence.

Can imagine it went something like this?

We are already a laughing stock....let's not care what opposition fans think. Let us just improve on the field and win some games. We have a core group of younger players that are edging towards 50 games and circa 23 years of age. I am hopeful they will exponentially improve

It means just about everything has been a load of cods.

Its not the picks that were wrong. It was the attitude of this will fix our problems. And it never did and never could. Draftees came to a club that didnt have any mongrel and didnt have a real plan on how to utilize and develop what talent came in.

I do believe that has changed.
