A great result by the club to get a high quality inclusion to fill a need, without compromising our broader plan for youth and draft talent.

I think it sits about right I would not give up anything more for a depth player from the pies!

good pick up, will be good for us on the wing, welcome Tom.

 

[wahawk]

Enlighten those of us not blessed with your knowledge?

It’s not my knowledge at all, which is why I used the word RUMOURS

There are many posts about his gambling & that it is out of control.
Supposedly lost 28k in one day while in the hub
After being completely burnt with Beams supposed gambling addiction, you can understand a club not wanting to deal with that again.
im not in anyway saying that’s why, but it may be part of the reason

 

[Gralin]

Enlighten those of us not blessed with your knowledge?

Go to the scandals and rumours sub board of the main board and see for yourself

Let's keep this thread about the guy we got not the guy north got

Surely you are taking the piss
You wouldn’t have given one of our picks in the 40’s for Phillips ?

He more than a depth player

You really must not pay a lot of attention to the AFL outside the Hawks if you had not heard of him...

He has been best 22 at the Pies since his second season in the AFL, his 2018 was seriously impressive.

No he is not a superstar but he is a lock best 22 and a very solid player. Only 24 years of age, durable and never had any off field issues.

We just got a 7+ year player for pretty much free. That is a bargain.

He played 65 out of 69 games for Collingwood over the past three years. The 4 he missed were the last 2 home and aways games, and finals this year...with a hamstring.

Otherwise 69 out of 69 games

I'm not quite sure we have the same definition of the phrase "depth player"

 

[MrPremiership]

Plays a lot more inside than I thought.

Lacks the speed of Isaac, but seems to be more inside.

Lots to like about this.

 

[Milkshaker]

Plays a lot more inside than I thought.

Lacks the speed of Isaac, but seems to be more inside.

Lots to like about this.

Thought that too, looks a bigger body.

seems very excited to be at our cub. No animosity towards Collingwood.

 

[Roby]

Sounds to me that the reason why we got him so cheap was because he was set on us over anyone else. #NOTadestinationclub

 

[westhawk]

His playing style is a lot like Gaff. He is not overly quick, but has elite endurance and finds a lot of the ball inside and out. Very similar to Gaff.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

This non-destination club has acquired in recent seasons:

Wingard
Mitchell
OMeara
Impey
Scrimshaw
Scully
Phillips

We picked up others but these guys would be best 22 in pretty much every AFL team.

Well played.

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Amazing we got him for pick 65.

Just for fun I looked up some recent players drafted at 65:

2019: Thomas Hutchesson (GWS)
2018: Darcy Fort

There are always some late gems but the odds are not great just looking at that list.

Thats actually an interesting list. You would think Langdon and Crocker have performed better than pick 65. Fort isn't a spud either.

 

[Hawthorn23]

Tom’s first interview as a Hawk:

 

[Blackhawk42]

Full stats for his career best season in 2018 for any stat-obsessed lunatics like myself who froth this stuff.

 

[Noel Gallagher]

I reckon his true worth was a mid to late 2nd round pick. To get him for 65 is unbelievable

 

[hawkheart]

Geez Wrighty is invaluable to our club. Will be a sad day when he moves on. Let's hope it's a long way off.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Geez Wrighty is invaluable to our club. Will be a sad day when he moves on. Let's hope it's a long way off.

Is he ? Have a look at the state of our list. I think about 15 other clubs are currently better placed for their next assault at a premiership but each to their own.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

I won't believe it until he's under the statue!!!!

You are nothing if not predictable.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

You are nothing if not predictable.

You disagree that's fine.
