What do you reckon: Trade pick 9 and Morton for Burgoyne Trade pick 25 or Muston for Gibson Trade Thorp for Drum Delist Boyle, Dew, Bailey (harsh, I know, but it's time) Elevate Gary Moss, Tim Walsh Net result: Out: Boyle, Dew, Bailey, Morton, Thorp and possibly Muston In...

We are all horribly disappointed with last night's game but make sure you think about your reaction before you post. All the simple-minded, disloyal and hysterical so-called supporters spewing vitriol on this and other threads should be feeling embarrassed right now. The Hawks simply don't...

Unexpected losses to Carlton and Port Adelaide this weekend have helped to keep our ladder position competitive. Now we just need the Saints to beat Collingwood (which should happen) and ideally Adelaide to beat the Bulldogs. A lot of teams stuck on 3 wins / 4 losses.

Interesting to note in this grand final that both teams are built around a core group of stars drafted in the legendary 2001 super draft: Geelong: Gary Ablett Jr James Bartel James Kelly Steve Johnson Hawthorn: Luke Hodge Sam Mitchell Campbell Brown Rick Ladson All these...

West Coast fans, First, let me just say that I really feel for you losing Judd in this matter. If we had lost Crawford at 24 years of age, it would have ripped the hearts out of Hawks fans. Same if we lost Buddy, Hodge or Mitchell now. Marquee players are the ones we all go to the footy to...

With the AFL national draft less than a week away, here is the complete FootyGoss Mock Draft as predicted by FootyGoss writer Jay Rooney: Round 1: 1. Bryce Gibbs - Carlton More of a natural footballer than an athlete but possesses freakish skills. Played senior footy for Glenelg in 2005...

Here's a poll for you. Which team least deserves its top 7 pick? Your choices are: (1) Carlton - making a habit out of winning the wooden spoon and getting early draft picks. Surely no team can truly be that bad? (2) Essendon - Lloyd's injury has made them look worse than they are. Managed...

Footygoss.com.au mock draft - round 1 From a Hawthorn perspective I really hope that happens!

Very good draft preview from footygoss.com: http://www.footygoss.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=31086&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0 Profiles the top 10 prospects from each state (WA, Vic, SA and Allies)

Heard the tail end of Clarkson on SEN again today. Key points I heard: * 5-6 players are capable of going no. 1 this year * Really rates Sellar - says he is underage relative to the rest of the group. Could do a Pavlich - i.e. become the best of the crop in 12 months time * Says we are...

Blues fans, will you accept this? If not, then Hawks will have picks 6, 24, 33 + Josh Kennedy (40) and still have a crack at Thornton in the PSD. Either way, I'll be happy.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but there's a good video on the AFL website providing a review of the Draft Camp (by Peter Donegan and Shifter Sheahan), including reviews and interviews with the leading prospects. Particularly impressed with Leunberger and Selwood. Also like the look of...

Anyone else surprised that Sellar and Thorp are not on this list? Height Matthew Leuenberger - 203.2cm Sean Hampson - 200.8cm Kurt Tippett - 200.6cm Daniel Currie - 200.4cm Brent Renouf - 200.3cm Scott Gumbleton - 197.1cm Lachlan Hansen - 196.7cm Ben Reid - 196.4cm Jesse White -...

Carlton Recruiting Manager (Hughes?) was being interviewed by KB on the radio today. Didn't hear all the interview, but he assessed Gibbs as one of the best three juniors he had ever seen, together with Buckley and one other. He is a dead-set certainty to go number 1.

2 year deal.

Is anyone else having problems getting into Hawk Headquarters? I seem to be locked out and I'm not sure why.

Does anyone know how our under 18's team did against Ireland? I think they played the curtain raiser at the Docklands before the Saints/Lions game on Thursday night.

Noticed FootyDraft changed again yesterday. Looks more similar to Burgan's draft now.

Hey Mission, how about giving us your phantom draft? I was seriously impressed by your profiles and reckon you must have an interesting view on how it will all pan out.

There's just one week to go until the big day, the AFL 2005 national draft. On a scale of 1-5, how excited are you???

Change to priority picks 6:45:33 PM Thu 17 November, 2005 Jason Phelan Sportal for afl.com.au In an effort to reduce speculation over clubs tanking for priority draft picks, the AFL has modified its special assistance rule. Starting next season if a club finishes with 16 points (four...

I'm bored on a Saturday night. My wife's just gone to a hen's night and I'm stuck at home looking after the kids. Anyone interested in doing a phantom draft game tonight? I'll take Hawthorn. Please select your club. 1. Carlton - 2. C'Wood - 3. Hawthorn - 4. Carlton - 5. C'Wood - 6...

When are we going to see the profiles completed (at least for the top 20) and the list updated for the new draft order? Thanks.

Footyman, why do you think Mitchell Clark will be drafted ahead of Kennedy and Dowler? There seems to be quite a bit of negative sentiment about him around at the moment, coming off his disappointing Under 18's championships. Do you really think he'll go before the others?

Anyone know anything about him? Kevin Sheahan seems to be a big fan. What sort of midfielder is he? Does he have pace?

Anyone want a go? My first guess: 1. Car - Murphy 2. Coll - Ellis 3. Haw - Hurn 4. Car - Dowler 5. Coll - Kennedy 6. Haw - Ryder 7. Ess - Varcoe 8. Rich - Clark 9. Bris - Drum 10. Freo - Swallow

Hawks are looking for a developing ruckman and from what I've heard, Warnock might fit the bill. Has anyone seen him play? What are his strengths and weaknesses? How does he compare to Cameron Wood and John Meeson from last year's draft? Thanks.

OK, we've all had a chance to see them in action. Of the top 5 draft picks from last year, who will prove to be the most valuable in the long term?
