Hawks have eastern Melbourne and sizable chunk of the NT.


Melbourne gets central Australia. Richmond a chunk or the NT etc.

45 suburbs.


Most of it is pretty monocultural though. Low indigenous population and really the area around Dandenong is the only really heavy cultural diversity. There is a healthy Indian and Sri Lankan population around Cranbourne but they don't seem to be choosing footy. There is a few clubs with one or two Sudanese kids in the SMJFL though at least.

We would have as much history with Tassy as any other team. Verdun Howell )Brownlow) Darrel Baldock Premiership captain and later coach, Ian Stewart (Dual brownlows) Barry Lawrence club captain, Nick Reiwoldt club captain. A number of other players as well. Why we were not awarded a small portion of Tassy beats me.
 
And look at how the Northern Territory is broken up. Where are we expected to Indigenous players from? I would have been happy with a small portion of NortheRn West Australia even. The Territory is owned by Melbourne, Collingwood, Hawthorn, and Essendon. St.Kilda has had more Indigenous players than several those clubs. So how come they got NT and we did not?
The club should be asking these quesrions now.
 
If we still have a pick in the top ten come draft day what do people think of going for Kemp. I don't mind taking a risk on an injured kid, from Judd to Selwood and the Bont there always seems to be a player in a draft year with an injury that worries clubs but i think the way we are positioned why not take the gamble.
 
It was the same knock on Worpel though.
All in all we're not to know, but I'll back Libba and Co, post Trout.

With Hind, Parker, Jimmy and Coff our pace issues are largely fixed except for a quick insider, (Jones*) and Hunter and Bytel have very very clean hands already.

I tend to think this year is our last chance to load up on some top young mids as the next 2 firsts will be allocated to Bing, and after that we'd want to be starting our finals run.

If we can basically swap Bruce for Hill, I'd want to see us demand a 1st from the Cats for Stuv + change.

For our needs 2x first round mids plus Biggie is about right. We have another NGA get next year and since our balance will be better we can just get back to cherry picking talant with later picks.
