Sublime kicking skills. & can actually kick the ball to advantage.
Very happy happy with this pick.

He's on a golf trip with Mitch Lewis and others.

Reckon it might be CJ or Sam.

That golf trip is the GOAT. Apparently AFL HQ need to approve it

 

[CaptainPorks]

The Frenchman

 

[kenneje]

The difference will come from hitting the forwards on the sternum over and over.

Mitch Lewis' life just got a whole lot better.

 

[daniel23]

Lets not gloss over the fact coming into the year mckenzie was a defender, it's only his first full year as a mid. He has as much growth as anyone.

 

[VandoHawk]

Not a lot of surprises so far in this first round.

 

[matey]

Stoked to get Cam looks like a quality kid with maturity and didn’t look that small standing against Hale!

 

[Chris_Superman_Langford]

I like the Hawk supporter choice!

Will compliment our midfield unit well. Jhye and Cam were my preferences and I don't blame them for going the bigger player.

 

[HedgeFund]

1? Not trying to be negative I’d love both players to succeed but we just drafted a player who does his same role when the boards batted on about how thats a solo role (albeit looks to have better footskills)

Nothing wrong with midfield depth. Top teams run 6-8 through the middle. We barely have 3 who are at the standard right now. Sam doesn’t want one position players - that should be clear to everyone now.

Hope so. I wanted Phillipou, perhaps I rated him too highly but I see forward of centre class in him. Mackenzie in my eyes is an awesome disposer of the ball. Hope he tears the comp apart.

'This draft is going to be different, plenty of trades and moves in the order this year'

 

[Bugs1977]

He's the best user in it.

By hand and foot

 

[A1fromDay1]

Tsatas soft player for a soft club!

 

[Jazzfan]

Phillipou looks gutted

 

[50metres]

What did hawks trade lions for pick 2 match?

 

[Brishawk]

Tsatas soft player for a soft club!

That is the type they like for some reason. But tsatas is a gun. Will be great.

 

[local hack]

Did we trade 41, 50, 52 and 63 for 36 and 2023 R3?
Complete madness

 

[Billyc]

Phillipou looks gutted

Playing under Ross Lyon

 

[cryptor]

We hold 81, 83 and 85 also right now.

Wonder how much they come in from here...

 

[Baz_hawk]

Do we have any other picks tonight or are they doing the stupid split draft crap still?

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Our next 3 picks are currently 25, 35, 45

 

[peetoo]

Rossy always looks pissed off

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Do we have any other picks tonight or are they doing the stupid split draft crap still?

Doing it tomorrow

Complete madness

We're only taking 3 picks, so 50/52 and 63 would all be wasted.

 

[Brishawk]

We hold 81, 83 and 85 also right now.

Probably inside 65 or even 60. Not much more than 50 will be taken.
