Oh well at least they still have Mozzie. Oh and is the rumours true that Dodo wasn’t actually doing a fist pump? I heard that someone in Essendon’s draft room yelled out Mozzie and Dodo preceded to swat rather than fist pump

Username checks out!

Surely worth a rookie pick. He looked pretty good in the NAB League GF. Needs to work on his kicking.

We might not have any rookie spots if we pick up a DFA and use 5 draft picks.

Hawthorn holds pick No.11, but have made plain that they will not match a first-round bid before that pick for their father-son Finn Maginness, who is rated later than that choice by the majority of clubs.

Dees, Cats, Giants and other potential trades in the draft

Melbourne's pick eight shapes as one that could be traded during the national draft for two later selections, in one of several trades that are still being canvassed.

Can’t imagine that we would tell Niall that, we are very secretive.

Totally agree with this. If and it’s a big if Hawthorn have floated anything to the media then you could 99.999999% guarantee that our guys are playing silly buggers. If for whatever reason someone bids on Finn before pick 11 then we’d be stupid to let the whole world know what our intentions are.

Was a direct copy’n’paste at the time of posting; they edited the article after I’d put up the post, have updated with the latest wording

In other words, Hawthorn just stating the bleeding obvious just in case the Dodo's of this world just don't get it.

 

[Brant]

Kemp and Finn would be a tremendous draft period. That's your engine room set for the next 12 years.

Probs gonna need more Worpel

Stagnated though?

 

[Brant]

Stagnated though?

I'm hoping Finn & whomever we take with our 1st can stagnate toward the end of their 1st year

 

[TylerDurden]

Too much stagnation in this thread.

 

[HomerJayS]

The second time I’ve read a post like this here. Why would you want any Hawk player to stagnate?

So pick 18 is valued at 985 points

Our pick 30 and 42 are worth 1024 points.

If a club bids on Finn between pick 18 and our pick 30 then we would need to use both our second and third round pick to accumulate enough points?

985 minus the 20% discount = 788 required. 30 might get pushed back or might not so we would have around 606 so would need to use 162 more points from pick 42 which would throw us a lower pick somewhere

We get a discount on the points but I think the maths still says both picks are required but we get a later pick back.

Did you miss Goddard's mid-year claim the Worpel's development had stalled? After which, Worpel blazed away to a best and fairest.

I, too, hope the development of a number of our players "stalls" in the same manner.

Yet another article on Finn. It almost like the AFL are pumping him up so Hawthorn will be required to consider matching an earlier than expected bid to draft him. Deja vu with all the pre-draft stories on Mozzie .

Finn Maginness could be just the fourth father-son Hawk in history

If there are recruiters out there whose opinions on the draft are being shaped by a fluff piece in mid November, they should be fired immediately.

Relax and enjoy the articles.
