Get this done pls.Brodie Kemp – Hawthorn: “It has been ingrained in my family for a number of years. I’ve supported them ever since I was born.”
Sort it out GW, he wants to be a hawk
Sam Mitchell, Hill, prime Isaac, Jordan Lewis, younger Burgoyne, Hodge, Shiels, Sewell is a lot better than our current crop at this point in time in both a depth & ability sense.I dunno, I'd almost argue our best midfield on paper at the moment is the equal of our flag winning midfields. We were strong all over the ground in those years, particularly up forward and back but never really thought our midfield was a particularly strong point.
You do make a fair point in that it absolutely lack depth. When injuries hit us hard this year we were found wanting, big time.
Reckon we're one or two short here but gee we're not far off.
Still salivating at the thought of Mitchell, Omeara, Wingard, Worpel occupying the centre square for season 20'.

100% agreeBang on.
Really hoping we take Deven Robertson, Brodie Kemp or Dylan Stephens with pick 11.
Stephens is my favourite of the 3, but would be ECSTATIC with any of them.
Mitchell, O'Meara, Worpel, Wingard, Shiels, Smith, Henderson, Scully with two first round midfielders in Stephens & Maginness would be huge.
If Finn is bid on at 19, that means our picks 30+42 slide down to 51.
I'm hoping we then do a sneaky and trade out our future 1st for a future 2nd and a 2nd rounder this year.
Gold Coast for instance have pick 20 this year, and Brisbane's round 2 next year (32-36).
Christ. I'm up and about already.Love this idea but I do think GC would want slightly more. If Finn is still available at 20 (unlikely but not impossible) something like 2020 First + Pick 54 to Gold Coast for Pick 20 + Brisbane 2020 Second might work.
Pick 11: Kemp/McAsey
Pick 20: Williams/Bianco
Pick 30: Maginness
Pick 51 (formerly pick 42): Key defender/midfielder
Pick 63: Wing/Small forward
Would be an incredible draft haul and complement our trading period nicely.
We have very little key position depth. Who is going to be the 2nd key defender to play alongside Koschitzke? Frost has been recruited as more of a short term option and not really a long term solution.
Wowee I would lose my s**t if this happenedLove this idea but I do think GC would want slightly more. If Finn is still available at 20 (unlikely but not impossible) something like 2020 First + Pick 54 to Gold Coast for Pick 20 + Brisbane 2020 Second might work.

Matt Balmer on fox footy live chat thinks Miles Bergman and Cody Weightman are our targets unless a higher ranked player slips. He also believes we have no interest in Fisher McAsey and Finn no chance to be bid on before our first pick.
I would be so incredibly disappointed if we took weightman with our first pick.Matt Balmer on fox footy live chat thinks Miles Bergman and Cody Weightman are our targets unless a higher ranked player slips.

I'm reading through the chat now. Balmer mentioned Kemp, Stephens, Bergman and Weightman as options at 11. I'm only really interested in the first two out of those four tbh. Interesting that we're not keen on McAsey according to Balmer.Matt Balmer on fox footy live chat thinks Miles Bergman and Cody Weightman are our targets unless a higher ranked player slips.

I think in regards to McAsey it comes down to not just how we rate him but also how we rate Kozi. From the outside he is an unproven key defender that may or may not make it but if the club feels he is the answer in the coming seasons it totally make sense to look at other options.I'm reading through the chat now.

Hawks have a history of picking up small forwards later in the draft (with exceptions like Cyril) ala Bruest, Puopolo, etc. so I'd be very surprised if they went Weightman. Bergman maybe because he can kick the ball 60m plus, but he doesn't find it enough for mine.
Totally concur with both posts.100% agree
The modern game is won through the midfield and if you have a dominant midfield you will be in most games.
I feel if we take Hartley as a DFA, may mean McAsey might be out of the picture for us.Love this idea but I do think GC would want slightly more.

Yeah 0 chance we bring in Frost, McAsey, Hartley.I feel if we take Hartley as a DFA, may mean McAsey might be out of the picture for us.

A. Chad left Port to be a forward so forget that dream.You’re right in the sense that at their best the current group is talented, the s**t thing is they are very inconsistent.. The group we had in the premiership years gave the same effort and performance week in week out, Sammy would get 30, Lewis 25-30, Hodge 25-30, Hilly 25 etc. This current group is a flip of the coin, Jags floats in and out of games week to week, Worps is now getting that consistent effort but the next tier of Howe,Shiels (ball winning), Hendo etc are up and down with their impact.
You are spot on though, if Chad progresses to a mid first and fwd second and Titch releases Jags then we may have some answers. We also don’t know what Finn brings to the table and possible either Robertson/Kemp or Stephens.
