Mid-season Draft discussion

[Baz_hawk]

Given all the talk, I'll be happy if we took Duke at 2.
Honestly I think people just are guessing though.

 

[WWSD]

I’d rather get Puopolo out of retirement then to draft Stengle. I know we desperately need small forwards, but Stengle has been sacked twice!

 

[cryptor]

Who would posters want if we only had 1 selection?

The best available talent. But I have no idea who that actually is.

Will trust the club to make the right call. Whether that be best available talent, the most potential, or a pure positional needs basis.

I don't really care if we stuff up the MSD. It's pretty low stake in the big picture. The ND is where we need to nail it.

 

[Dewnior]

Lets just get the best player at 2.....and if someone is good left at pick 17, then take that player.

Let's not try to get too distracted by the 2nd pick.
BEST AVAILABLE

If we followed that strategy in 2004 we would have missed out on Roughy

I'm only waiting hoping that the fella with catman as his Avatar posts so I can watch it, again.

No we wouldn't. Dogs were committed to Griffen and Wallace said they got the two best kids in the draft. So that leaves us with Bud and Rough at 2 and 5 whichever you go.

Duke Newcombe would be so nervous right now ......make him a Hawk

Rough was going to Richmond
No one wanted to touch Bud

Looks pretty relaxed to me.

Is this televised ?

 

[Hawks1994]

What time do the actual selections take place?

This having high draft selections thing is fairly exciting!

 

[Hawks1994]

Is this televised ?

It's streamed on the AFL website

Don’t get too wedded to a specific player guys.

Chances are we walk away with a different player than the one all the media has been about, as per every other draft we ever go to.

 

[MadDawg]

Who would posters want if we only had 1 selection?

Moyle - free hit at a top 30 pick.

Although he's unlikely to play much AFL footy any time soon, he frees up our national draft picks to be spent on mids and forwards in the next few years.

Pick 2 - Jon Patton
Pick 17 - Tom Scully
