Good enough for the Northern Academy clubs to group together a bunch of picks in the 40's to get multiple top 10 picks, why cant anyone else.....oh, that's right

100% agree.......I hope we dont use pick 4 (5) on an undersized small forward

My preferred draftee is Duursma - genuine forward who can rotate through the midfield. But if he is gone, then I think we are crazy if we dont take Curtain. Curtain ready to play AFL more or less straight away, which is clearly an area of the ground we are deficient. We just traded for...

Absolutely......there are a lot of nuances that need to be war-gamed. But overall, I think a draft points model is viable. Just need smarter people than me to work out the mechanics of the system

Agreed with banking points. WRT future picks, I dont think you can extrapolate current finishing positions for the next 2 seasons to determine how many points you have for this year's trade/draft period. I think you need to average it out in some fashion based on current finishing positions...

I raised this very concept about 3 or 4 years ago (pre-covid) and got smashed. I still think this concept has merit for the reasons you pointed out in your original reply post. Main value I see is how Future Pics are valued - have to have some sort of average value depending on where the club...

I would argue that Kosi will be a very capable 3rd tall, but I'm not sure that being number 1, or even number 2 banana upforward suits him. Having said that he is still only 23, and approaching 50 games. Good luck Kosi and thank you for your service to the Hawthorn FC.

I hear we are bringing Poppy back to coach him ; p

Because I like reading fiction

I generally accept everything you say as gospel Not sure what part of this to believe now

I'm surprised no one has even considered Crimmo

Please dont let it be true

Has only played 45 games. Looks better as 2nd or 3rd tall, behind Mitchell Lewis and Brandon Ryan when he played. Started to show something late in the year. I am hoping we give him another year to see how his development continues as he pushes past 50 games
