Do we know which clubs are actively looking to trade up into the top 10 of the draft?

Melbourne

 

[Sphynx]

I think he provides a different dimension to their midfield.

Does he?

I actually think he’s quite similar to Ward and McDonald (particularly Ward) despite the athletic differences.

IMO, Tsatas has similar characteristics to Lipinski

I'm not sure that an SSP signing would count in the required 3 ND selections; I would think it does not.

An upgrade would, although from what we've seen with GWS and Callum Brown's elevation off the Cat B rookie list, the draft pick to do so is already removed - does that match the vacant main list slots and draft picks that Lions have?

We’ve had this discussion on our board. dlanod is of the belief we can take the 5 picks to draft, without the AFL automatically removing the pick needed to upgrade Madden.

I agree with you, that in previous drafts, the AFL has always removed the late pick that was to be used to upgrade a rookie player to the senior list.

The hawks really paid a thousand bucks on flights from Adelaide and spooked Essendon out of trading their pick. Nice.

Revenge for bidding on Mosquito

You will lose all picks with value and depending on where the bids come, you might lose some of 2023

But, points with no value are generally retained for list additions

I agree, but Ward can play wing I believe and drift inside, plus they need depth in midfield. If Phillipou or McKenzie is on the board, I’d personally take them but I don’t think Hawthorn is in a lose-lose position.

Sorry, but that doesn’t really help with the current discussion.

I wouldn't liken Tsatas to Ward

Ward can run all day but he doesn't have the break away speed that Tsatas does

I agree with the poster that Tsatas would be a very good fit in a midfield that is fairly one paced

They have enough contested ball winners and he would complement that midfield nicely

Nah that’ll be when we take munkara with pick 40

 

[Blackhawk42]

How is Tsatas exactly what Hawthorn need?

They lost their two of their three biggest inside ball winners and apart from Newcombe I don’t think the likes of Ward are going to be massive contested ball winners.

Tsatas is definitely a nice piece for a building side, but he’s hardly “exactly what they need” as a player with the lowest contested ball % of a potential top 10 midfielder in the last decade.

I think Wardlaw or Humphries or Phillipou are probably closer to exactly what they need.

We'll be banking on Maginness, Worpel, Stephens, Nash and Ned Long to either continue or develop in that contested role.

Newcombe has wheels, but we definitely lack a midfielder who can be relied on to burst away from stoppages with the footy.

We also lost our biggest accumulator in Tom Mitchell, so replacing him with one of the strongest pure ball winners in this season's draft makes sense.

I’ve never seen a fan base more in love with an opposition teams nga player than Munkara. All the reports are saying he’s going well beyond 40 but Hawks fans have convinced themselves he’s getting through to them .

Collingwood linked to Charlie Clarke at pick 16 according to HUN

Hopefully he is as much of a spud as Mosquito

I thought mosquito was promising, especially that game against Richmond in 2020 before doing his acl against Geelong.

Just couldn't or wouldn't get fit, had no professionalism around football sadly

Lipinski is a hell of a lot slower then tsatas

 

[Hazardinho]

Yeah I remember last year when he came to training in pre season, he looked like he put a couple of stones.

 

[Taylor]

Sorry, but that doesn’t really help with the current discussion.

You'll have an hour from 10pm on the 29th (but more in line with end of draft) to upgrade rookies.

You can nominate them before the draft, but you can do it in that window after the national draft.

Similar, not exact

Haha one of Dodos i am so smart moments

 

[blueiris]

Probably redraft one of our delisted players. Haven't looked at the draft nominations, but assume we have a couple on it.

We’re rumoured to like Casey Voss late if he’s available

Knightmare approves this!
