Sonsie has got the skill and talent ......... I’m more than double his age and have better definition in the arms! Rapted with our haul GO HAWKS!

 

[Since 2001]

What you mean? Don't rate their picks?

I think Conway would've made it to 32. Knevitt im 50/50 on. Think sonsie and/draper would've been better

James Willis probably ready to go but his ceiling is not very high: average to below average disposal and not very consistent

 

[Pessimistic]

Howes still on the board BIG slide

 

[Bugs1977]

The reason I was on him early this year is because of his spread across all stat categories of footy that you're looking for players to excel in.

He tackles a lot, he gets it a lot and he puts it inside 50 a lot. He's a real footballer's footballer.

First use is of the pill has been a huge issue for us so it makes sense

 

[Bardo State]

Decent WA defenders started panicking when Draper (and JHF to be fair) went forward in the rep games. Tackles hard and wins clearances at U18 level. Surely he doesn't get past Adelaide.

with one of our picks in the 50s?

 

[rei154]

Motlop seems a great character, too.
Good get for the Blues

Fergus Greene with one of our picks in the 50s?

Very talented and I'll trust the recruiters but I still struggle to see how a pure medium marking forward translates to the next level.

 

[MasterSamurai]

For some reason I'm not as excited as some of you with our haul ! Love the ward pick but not sure about the other two. Not saying they are poor choices , I just thought we'd go a different prospect and believe me I HOPE I'm completely wrong!

There was a handy one at Demons booting goals in the premiership...

 

[hawkguru]

Draper still on the board??? Geez he slid

 

[Brishawk]

He is a classic rookie pick selection for mine. Get him into the system and see how he responds.

I bloody love the Butler pick

Fritsch is the model, but even as good as he is, if he goes from 2.5 goals a game to 1.5, he probably drops out of the side. It's not like a pressure player who you can back through a goal drought.

Bazzo?

It feels strange to have not picked up Bazzo to team up with DGB. It is interesting, gone with pure midfielders, still have our core midfielders with 2-3 to already wanting to break through.

Out of interest, what did you want vs what we got?

 

[Bardo State]

Adelaide board is melting after taking 7 minutes not to pick Draper

Our mids are pressing but maybe this isn’t the draft for kpd.

edit: gone now haha

ZaC Taylor was one sonsie or Howe's the other.

 

[Brishawk]

ZaC Taylor was one sonsie or Howe's the other.

We might still end up with Taylor or Howes lol

 

[MasterSamurai]

Yea, I may have to look more into his highlights to get a better look at him.

 

[Baz_hawk]

Wonder how one sided the trade was for Melbourne to have the pick swap knocked back by the AFL.

Lol, the way it's all panning out you may be on the mark.

I really have no idea, I don’t follow the draft stuff as much as most around here, but I keep thinking about Sams declaration recently that he prefers players who are absolutely elite at one particular attribute as opposed to all-rounders, just ok at everything. With this in mind, the obvious reasoning behind some picks might not be obvious for some time.

they got the pick from Adelaide originally, and can’t trade it back?
