If we take a tall either Thil or Macca, I want the one with the biggest cajones!
Don't want a Tarzan that plays like Jane!
We need more C**ts in the side - excuse the french if any ladies reading.
Hard nuts & mongrels that's what wins you flags, just as much as talent!

Same, Campbell above everyone.
Much like Hollands he has supreme skills on both sides, but while the doesn't have the same frame as Hollands he is already a proven commodity as a midfielder (at junior level at least).
The more I think about it the more I wish we lost that GCS game (an honourable loss of course).

Agree. You can't go past McDonald's performances this year but there's a LOT to like with Thilthorpe. He could project to be Brodie Grundy without the elite tap work but faster and with better marking. His ground level work is something McDonald hasn't shown as much (because he was too busy marking inside 50 and kicking goals).
Adelaide aren't considering taking him at 1 for the fun of it.

That's Thilthorpe. Plenty of hits in the middle and cites Lynch as a model because of how he runs through packs to hurt defenders. Not that I've seen anything to indicate that the other talls are timid.
Thilthorpe is supposed to have a bit of aggro about him.

Yeah Thilthorpe has a bit of campaigner about him. McDonald is more timid physically but has massive work ethic.
Max Holmes played 1 game last year, he is a 400m hurdles and sprinter, he is a raw smokey that some clubs seem interested in.

Yep. If we pick him first we all need to change our votes to him pronto. If he checks the poll and feels unloved the go home factor becomes an issue.Poor Logan McDonald only has 9 votes in this thread.

Class of 2020: Hawks set to nab young gun Connor Downie

The thing that concerns me about McDonald is I think it’s gonna be another Sam Grimley sort of situation. Grimley won the VFL goal kicking twice (?) but never really transitioned. What we need is a strong marking presence which I don’t see McDonald as, looks more like a lead up forward which I’m not that keen on using pick 4 on. I dunno, maybe I’ve just got my Hollands glasses still on.

It’ll be amazing if we snag Thilthorpe or McDonald at pick 4. The team with the number 1 pick are tossing up between the two and we look like getting one of them at pick 4. (Excluding JUH of course).
If nobody bids on Downie before our second pick it’ll be a sensational night.
It’s fun to dream up all kinds of scenarios but if the above happens... we have nailed it!!

I thought clubs weren’t able to get exclusive medical information? (Door couldn’t read behind paywall)
Supposed? He has. Anyway he's going to Adelaide.
Not really the same situation but just for context, McDonald has kicked more goals per game at wafl level than Kennedy and is younger than Kennedy was when Kennedy was kicking the goals. McDonald’s development this year is more noteworthy than his performances. Grimly was at the peak of his powers with no real scope for improvement at the time he was kicking goals.
Its not a bad way to look at it but if we do land mcdonald outside of juh most clubs would of had him ranked number 1 . Ive been critical of his athleticism but his footy smarts are elite so he makes up for it and let's not make out he is super slow he ran 20 m quicker then hollands.

Bastards just had to release this the day before the draft didnt they
.I see what they are trying to do here.
think one of the north posters described him as similar to Corey McKernan. Definitely haven’t seen a player like that in a while

Can’t imagine anything in that video will make a club that wasn’t going to bid on him change their plans.
