Nobody thinks he's coming in to dominate a game or that he's anywhere near a complete player. Not ever Roughy and Buddy were expected to do that and neither were "complete" even by the end of their careers. The whole effort to make those who of us who are enthused to sound like so much more...

"Highest point of the contest" is fine, and what they actually mean. But no commentator has ever said that exact expression.

You have convinced me - bring him in NOW!

I actually forgot about Day, so let's just put it at Top3. But what I meant was that Nash's impact makes everybody else so much better bc of the havoc he causes at the contest.

Demolition man. He is our second most impactful midfielder when he is on his game. He was also a slow starter last season, hitting form in round 5 with a monster game and never looked back.

Should not have been dropped in the first place. I hope it was only to give him a full game on the ball.

Unbelievable to read about "not rushing" a guy who is in SMASHING form in the VFL, while people wanna bring in players with less impressive form and "give them a block of 6-8 games to see what they've got". FFS this guy is too good for the VFL in the same way Roughead and Buddy were too good...

i'm an admire Ward and have consistently defended his progress.

looks a big lumbering type rather than the fast, dynamic, versatile mid. I've only seen one clip but didn't look to me like someone we needed to prioritise.

Whatever we're gonna offer Bailey Smith, we should put towards a bid on Callahan. If we have to top it up, that's OK too.

I don't care about which squads he does not make. He looks a player and can find the ball. Rookie spot for sure.

+Moore. Lethal combination. We just need Lewis to stand up and midfield to recapture last season's form.

I loved his highlights pre-draft. How did he look at vfl level?

Weddle needs to settle into a role. He has existing competence as a defender with the added bonus of his hard running/athleticism.

Time to move Sicily forward. Let's give Weddle some more responsibility in defence. Adds some leadership and viable target up forward.

I support Sam Mitchell. People getting emotional and losing sight of the huge challenge. It takes 4-5 years on average, from the bottom of a rebuild to making finals. First step was to turn the list over and inject fresh talent w the right mentality to take the club forward. Next is to...

To be fair, he may have just scraped onto a list for numerous reasons, but his early form at box hill sounds as good as anything we’ve had since buddy/roughead.

Midfield needs to step up. Defenders and forwards are ok if they have better support and supply.

100% He does a lot of the good things you want to see from a big forward. He can be our new Roughead imo.

Frost has always been a good competitor. Group think went overboard in criticising him as useless over the pre season.

Careful! I had a post deleted for suggesting Sicily move forward.

I thought he was an opportunistic brat going by the headlines. He's a good player with a great mentality. He will win us games and his energy will permeate through the team. So far, so good. Career best form without the free kicks too.

If he's anything like his dad, probably only had 2 kicks as well. 🤣

Moves so much like his dad. He’ll make a player. Get the first one and the second son is locked in as well. Cmon Hawks!!

You can have him for a top 10 pick.

People forget that our 4-time premiership heroes had had quarters, halves, games, blocks of multiple games...hell, all of them had flaws they never overcame, yet we still conquered the competition. We need to fix the system and develop the team more than nitpick individual attributes or dissect...

I don't know why this guy is continually underrated and dismissed by our own fans. Last year people made unfavourable comparisons to MacKenzie early on, and then Ward reminded us all about how good he was when he came back into the team. Ward is a very good midfield talent. Excellent character...

Similar style, but not quite as good.

Hardwick could become our Dangefield-lite as a forward, and maybe in time take a few centre-bounces too. He’s a contest beast, and I do see that potential in him.
