Prediction Pre-Season Supplemental Selection & Mid-Season Rookie Draft

[syl97]

Hawks should take Mitch Riordan from Dandenong imo, sign him up today or Box Hill, get it done.

Mitch for the last time we're not signing you!

 

[Bugs1977]

Only 9 more days until Rioli comes out of retirement!

I still haven’t given up hope.

This is pretty much EVERY Hawthorn fan the day the Cyril news broke…



I know I haven't been the same since

We've only got 1 spot up for grabs (Langford) and have until Friday to list anyone. At this stage it looks like Reeves or no one.

If Mitchell were to recover for the end of the season do they need to demote someone to make room for him?

I mean, why promote an edge player if you’re just going to demote him in another five months?

I thought after round 12 or something it didn’t matter. Probably wrong but.

With Nash being an LTI upgrade he could go back on the rookie list, I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't grab Reeves given how far away he is, he'd only be able to play at Box Hill if we did and that level looks above him at the moment

One year deal. Seems like we get a year to decide if he's worth it

classic Mason Cox experiment for mine only Ned can actually kick

I guess what do we have to lose

 

[Jaeger]

Senior or rookie list?

 

[Beandip]

Savvy move for mine. Just not confident Pitto is going to make it - doesn't seem to have any strings to his bow other than being big (though he doesn't seem to be athletic/can jump; and we probably still have a couple of years in BigBoy and Cegs to await Reeves potential development.

Makes no sense

Makes no sense

Or did another club have a sniff?

Must have.

Not sure about the Pitto reasoning. I'd say it's savvy as far as if you get a free swing at an athletic 209cm kid who already knows how to play the game then you take it. Low risk, potentially high reward.

 

[arupist]

We would not likely pick up a best 22 player as a supplemental rookie - we had ample opportunity to draft a Meadows type - so it would make a lot of sense to take a free swing at a guy who might develop enough to play. I am sure the club saw enough to take the risk (which is negligible).

Rookie, replacing Langers

Irishman elevated

https://www.hawthornfc.com.au/news/2019-03-13/irishman-elevated


Conor Nash has received a boost ahead of the home and away season, with the Irishman elevated to Hawthorn’s senior list on Thursday.

The position became available after Tom Mitchell (broken leg) was moved to the long-term injury list.

This is Nash’s second appearance on the club’s senior list, having been temporarily elevated in late 2018.

I still haven’t given up hope.

This from the AFL, “A player who retired in 2018 must have nominated for last year's draft to be eligible to be selected. As a result, Hawthorn champion Cyril Rioli will need to wait until 2020 for any potential AFL return. “

I'm not sure I get what the intrigue is dash?

 

[WWSD]

With Tim Mohr out for the season and likely to be placed on the long-term injury list does that open the door for Harrison Jones to be promoted to the senior list?

Mohr is also a rookie and Jones doesn’t need to be elevated in order to play AFL

Jones is a category A rookie, so he doesn't need to be upgraded to play.

Nash, like CJ, is a Category B rookie, so needs to be upgraded to play.

With Mohr going down, we have an open list spot for the Mid-Season Draft on May 27th.
