Unofficial Preview 2020 Draft Discussion

[Dazza the Viking]

If we get McDonald, then all we need is a midfielder who can hit him on the chest from a lead

 

[CobberRodgers]

Yes we did.

I reckon we started it after Goldspink's 14th Essendon free kick, so roughly 3 and a half minutes into the first qtr.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

How does McDonald compare to the King brothers?

Downie is our man.

" As well as contemplating a bid on Campbell, Wright said the Hawks would also consider drafting Archie Perkins, but it depended on who was available".

Which means we're not taking him.

 

[play2win]

Just doing it for attention.

First time was a genuine balls-up.
second time is the ‘cover up’ to make it look intentional and have everyone second guessing it.

 

[TylerDurden]

 

[Bardo State]

Honestly didn't expect North to come to Hawthorn with that deal. I would've thought they'd ask for more.

Maybe indicates that Hawthorn and North think they'll both be picking the same guy regardless of whether they have 2 or 4?

 

[Stratton24]

WTF? Does Tom know they have 6,7,8

 

[Slick]

WTF? Does Tom know they have 6,7,8

Tom doesn't know much at all

 

[VandoHawk]

I wonder if Richmond would consider 17 for 24 and a swap of future seconds.

 

[HolyRioli]

WTF? Does Tom know they have 6,7,8

probably not

 

[Teamwork Talks]

Chris Doerre (Knightmare) on why Logan MacDonald is better than any key forward drafted in the last 15 years!

 

[Hawks2011]

Mail is that we’ll be bidding on Campbell with our first pick, take it to the bank.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Does that mean he ignores team mates who are in better positions and pings for goals 60 metres out or from the boundary line

 

[Metin_91]

If the price to move up is just pick 24, why not jump Sydney and bid for campbell.

Then if Swans decide to match trade our future first for their pick #3 as their #3 is now useless.

Take DGB & McDonald.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Roughly 2 and half hours to we know our prize first pick

then again they probably drag out the top 10 picks

Either we think it is less likely swans will match at 4 or we need 24 for something else.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Let's do it Wright

 

[Metin_91]

Either we think it is less likely swans will match at 4 or we need 24 for something else.

There's no real point in bidding at #4 given Swans will definitely match, Unless it's just us making them pay a premium.

If Campbell is actually a target only way to get him is to jump Sydney.

Doerre gets fixated on certain players. Interesting to me that he completely ignored the fact that Jesse Hogan

kicked 39 goals in 15 games at VFL state level whilst he was an underage listed player at Melbourne, in a season where the competition at the level was a lot stronger than a compromised WAFL season without AFL affiliated players. Instead he compares him to two players from an era before professionalism to its current extent had hit the Under 18 competitions, who additionally had to compete in U18 national carnivals which would have precluded them from playing senior footy.

 

[Bugs1977]

He's exactly what they're after

Howdy Hawks,

The Carlton board ran a phantom draft and I had Hawthorn.

You ended up with

Pick 5 - Riley Thilthorpe (I was close to picking Will Phillips but I think you need another key fwd/ruck).
Pick 24 - Eddie Ford - like a budget Jack Riewoldt (luckily Downie wasn't bid yet)
Pick 41 - Connor Downie - matched bid
Pick 43 - Corey Durdin - small mid, masquerading as a small fwd. Tiny, but tough, like a young Puopolo.

I didn't set out to focus on the forward line, it just worked out that way.

What do you think? Would you be happy with that outcome? What would you do differently?

Would be pumped to get Eddie Ford at 24
