Training 2026 Off-Season & Preseason reports and discussion
We didn't have anyone debut in 2025. Albeit I think Mraz would have if not for injury. And that wasn't really a big deal given how many young players we brought in across 2022-2024. We should expect growth from plenty of young established best 23 players in 2026. But given we didn't bring in...- Word Count: 140

Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Aidan Schubert
I feel the teams picking above us couldn't afford to be patient is the reason why. Essendon in particular I think went too safe and similar with their 3 picks. Having 3 top 12 picks meant they should have grabbed him to pair with Caddy. I look forward in time to reminding them of this **** up...- Word Count: 69

Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Matt Hill! CatB rookie, ex-Storm
Excited to see what Hill can do in year 2. A bright start at Box Hill and it would be great to see this guy as a lightning pressure forward. We can't just let damaging half-backs collect 30 on the rebound every week in 2026. Need to lock the ball in longer.- Word Count: 53

Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Jack Dalton
Eventually I think. But he needs to build size for that at AFL level. MM referenced the high half forward role for him initially. Clearly has the tank for that already.- Word Count: 31

Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Jack Dalton
We love high half forwards that can run all day. A key strength to our team. Feel we will see him multiple times across 2026. Especially if MacDonald takes to midfield. Physically (for high half forward) he's ready. Everything about his character and professionalism tells us that he will be...- Word Count: 59

Player Watch Welcome to Hawthorn, Ned Reeves. Extends to 2026 and then again to 2029!
I totally agree that Meek looked gassed towards the end of the year. Before they changed the rules last time, our numbers out of the middle were exceptional with Reeves. So reverting back to those rules and further development in Reeves is exciting. Getting first tap out of the centre could go...- Word Count: 160

Training 2026 Off-Season & Preseason reports and discussion
Great insight. Like many, I've felt for years now MacDonald will be our Zach Bailey. Just hasn't come together consistently yet. I think when it clicks he's going to be a star of the competition, mid/forward split. Moore personally I don't really rate as a mid. Both he and the team function so...- Word Count: 120

So to all the night 1 dummy spits we didn't take a mid... We went and took 3 night 2 and rookie draft. This is why you don't reach for perceived need with early picks. There wasn't any notable mids at our first 2 picks (albeit Nairn has scope). We nailed two sliders being considered around pick...- Word Count: 98

Once it got past the top 6 picks, and Cumming who I rate so highly, the next band of picks I'm not really expecting blue chip.

Probably should have snapped up Dalton night 1 for all those...

Trac is a selfish footballer that's only gotten worse as his career winds down. There's a reason he was never a leader at dees. Reckon he'll go ok this year, but not a player you want on a 4 year deal (5 for suns). Couldn't care less we didn't get him. We've got some solid assets now to try...- Word Count: 93

Wild. Who on earth was the top midfielder that was ever supposedly going to be available for us to take? Grlj? Maybe, but he's a project mid who was poor in the champs as a midfielder. He will play half-back. Farrow remains a project mid given he's played at half-back. No proof at all he...- Word Count: 210

Nairn is going to offer us significant flexibility and I actually wouldn't be shocked to see in 2026. A combination Sam flipping the magnets of Day, Weddle and Nairn is very exciting. Schubert is just incredibly exciting. The best key position forward in the draft and barely eligible. Will...- Word Count: 200

I really hope we trade back in for Greaves. But I don't know if the club rates him or not. Having 3x F2's means we would be best positioned to target bombers and blues firsts next year as they'll want to trade for points with Bewick and Walker.- Word Count: 48

Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Daniel Giansiracusa
Tbh I'm not sold on him. I haven't seen much at Box Hill to make me think he's a key part of the future. I know we've tried him forward and wing which isn't his go. I'm sure he'll play back and at Box Hill this year and it will need to be a big year for him. I don't think he's ever going to...- Word Count: 77

I'd love us to work out how Geelong play Holmes and see if we can replicate that. Holmes seems to start half -back, wing or half-forward but then play on-ball. He's not a good clearance or centre bounce player so mitigated that, but they hit him on the fly around the ball often.- Word Count: 55

Think it sums up this draft really. After Sharp there wasn't any exposed mids left. You really want Sweid? Meh We've banked 2 F2's. If we don't bring in an a grader next trade period, we're primed to trade up in a much better draft and take a mid.- Word Count: 49
