List Mgmt. Draftee, NGA and Father/Son Discussion - 2025

[Barrybran]

I dont see us finishing outside of the bottom three for another two seasons. There will be a lot of experience walking out of the club. IMO we will be the reincarnation of GWS when they entered the comp.

2026 - 18/17th
2027 - 17/16th

After that, I see our core team really growing up and making a quick trajectory; Reid, Hough, Ginbey, .etc .etc

We're not finishing bottom three in 2027

This entire story sounds made up.

I can get behind that.

Could be improved by shirt-fronting a Nisbett

Somebody please post of a screenshot of Sharp the beautiful man at the wafl.

Found it. Soon Sharp soon. You'll have the wings soon enough

Why's he sitting with the Freo players though?

This late season bust of strong form from Thrillem has probably sewn up number 1 pick. Sporting a tidy new haircut, Duursma played mid forward, took marks, kicked goals, tackled hard, found a decent amount of the footy and used it well by foot which has been a criticism at times. He didn't have many clearances or any of those dashing center breaks this week but was still impressive through the midfield, mostly as a first receiver.

Damn it noob. We don't need a first receiver He looks good though. Thanks for sharing.

To be honest, he looks terrified to be playing for the begals. Look at his face. Poor bugger. He had better have a good preseason and make the round 1 team. Or just tank the combine.

Jack Dalton 37d 2.2 today

Jack Dalton 37d 2.2 today

Been saying for a while if we still have our 2R he should be on the list. Kicking efficiency is the watch with Jack but will run all day.

I could easily see us taking Duursma and CDT with pick 1 and 2.....that we would be fairly deflating

I'm trying to get my head around how we could make that work but I'm struggling. If we were to win the spoon next year and select Cochrane, we would potentially have three very good players but no genuine midfielders out of the three. We would be relying very heavily on the likes of Hall, Gross, Allan and Duursma developing into competent AFL-level midfielders. It could work but we'd need some bloody good development coaches on board.

I see Oprah Winfrey

 

[eaglevision]

So assuming the Lions win this and GCS win their game comfortably the Hawks will finish 8th and hopefully lose. After the Oscar news and assuming Draper nets end 1R:

1,2,13,22,32,50.

I actually think we’ll take Duursma and Cumming if we don’t trade the pick.

Surely we package up and get 7 and Davies, just have to open the chequebook who gives a shit if he’s average.

to Saints seems to be generating serious momentum. After Wilson’s game today I’d say he is no chance. I’d love to get James Barrat, another Pioneer.

I wouldn't mind CDT if he was actually as talented and athletic as advertised.....but I don't think he's either and his ruck work was trash from what I saw in the championships.
I think we'll take Duursma with pick 1, hopefully we follow it up with Sharp with pick 2.

 

[OldBlueEagle]

It seems obvious to me that we’ve got to take the two best midfielders in the draft.

Agree 100%
Ruck rules are going to change next year and a ruck who cant jump like Grundy and Gawn will become Dinasours. Ruck like Archer Reid and BBW will have bigger impact. Even though BBW reminds me of Tin man and needs to find a heart. We have a few young options going forward.

 

[Mattman93]

Why?

 

[eaglevision]

Why?

They are the two most athletic mids in the top bracket.

I’m worried we’ll pass on Sharp because of his pace.

Tom Evans with another 34 disposals and 2 goals at Talent League today.
I know that he is an overager but he is putting up some seriously impressive numbers for the Pioneers, now averaging almost 31 disposals per game.
He's also our best disposer of the ball.

Will win the combine 2km trial. Sub 6.00

Great kid. Tough as guts. Has been doing this all year. Someone will pick him up. Would be the perfect Tom cole replacement.

He isn't average.

Everytime he has being given a more senior role when one of the big three is out injured, he knows how to find the pill, is hard at it and is clean with the ball. This is exactly who we should be targeting, offering full-time midfield and 800/yr for 5 yrs. Front load it.

 

[Dark Sharks]

We're not finishing bottom three in 2027

Getting off the bottom 3 this year required 6 wins.

Do you see us having a 600% increase in our win output in the next 2 seasons?

Its interesting, I will wait and see. Too many variables, like umpires etc
