[To the Hawk]

Love the pick of Nairn. Awesome size and a genuine utility. Running capacity very impressive. Great business collecting 2 X F2 along the way.

 

[kazzooka]

Nairn future captain, brownlow and normie?

No, he'll win the coleman too.

 

[Faraway Hawk]

Nairn future captain, brownlow and normie?

You read it here first!

Swans don’t match

Swans don’t match

Must feel pretty flat knowing they don't want you even for the crumbs in the bottom of a chip bag.

 

[hawkmang]

Nairn future captain, brownlow and normie?

Okay but what about after he turns 21?

 

[triple treat]

Little doubt you blokes were taking Cam Nairn anyway and have tricked our resident potato Matthew Clarke into trading you St Kilda’s F2 for free. Below is the Saints death ride thread, somewhat poetic that I pass it on to Hawthorn after the 2025 death ride thread.

Oppo Camp - 2026 Saints Death Ride

Who would have thought the sequel would be just as good as the original!?! 20 years after those famous words, West Coast trade Liam Ryan and their 2027 R3 pick for St Kilda’s 2026 R2 pick. We gain a pick in the projected range for 2026 NGAs Kenh, McGlade and F/S Harper Banfield whilst sending...

Nairn is a player. Good pick.

How do you know it’s St kilda’s

 

[Blackhawk42]

Compared to Logan Morris, Tim Membrey, and Ashton Moir.

Hope that ain't a bust lol.

And Mitch Owen and Mason Wood.

He's almost impossible to compare directly.

 

[Franko Armani]

Looks a great kick at goal and takes a strong mark. Nice pick!

 

[sohsam]

I'll feel good if we get Ollie.

But I can't pick what MM will do. The dude is levels above anyoen else at this caper. Turns water to wine every off season

we need another 2 late picks, where are those pick swaps, get schubert who was supposed to be top 10, best full forward and Marsh, you cannot get all 3, but maybe ollie and one of schubert/marsh

 

[Ashman23]

Nairn seven goals against WA.

Next up, Ollie Greeves.

 

[Cleavy]

Yeah Nairn (had to)

 

[Gut Runner]

What a draft hand we will have next year. Love it.

Hmmm, late first rounders weren't enough to get anything done this year, what will mid-range second rounders do??

Honest question...

 

[Dewnior]

Now to troll Geelol and take Greeves or their F1

 

[sohsam]

And Mitch Owen and Mason Wood.

He's almost impossible to compare directly.

you picked it, Gunston's replacement, must be more highly rated than marsh and schubert, perhaps his work rate.

 

[TazHawk15]

Seriously, who? Is this the same skinny wing guy that the Dee's supposed to be into? Gonna do a post draftbdeep dive . Hopefully, he's future proof type.

Right on cue.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

I think that was an obvious one for the Crows.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Adelaide picked Marsh.

We're gonna get Greaves I reckon.

 

[hawkinoz]

Swans don’t match

At pick 21 would have been a 70 point deficit(35+41+53) if they matched.. then won't be able to take Max King I think.

Seems like they think that's more important.

Our pick coming up.. I want a 3rd pick in for a slider but our pick after pick 23 is pick 52 & 59( may come in 5 spots).

Won't mind another trade

 

[Alite]

Do we go with Greaves now at 23? Or are we trading back again?

Great draft for us so far!!

Thinking Greeves will happen at 23.

Or... The Hawks could use their plethora of f2 to trade back in

 

[BigHawk2025]

Hmmm, late first rounders weren't enough to get anything done this year, what will mid-range second rounders do??

Honest question...

Forget the pick numbers, it’s how they are packaged up points wise, and then what another club can convert those points into.

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

I'm thinking that maybe the pick swap with Brisbane was to get ahead of Geelong. They were rumoured to be interested in Greeves.

 

[kazzooka]

Okay but what about after he turns 21?

HOF legend status. They are working on changing the eligibility rules now. They didn't anticipate a player winning 3x flags, 3xAA, 3x Colemans (breaking the 150 goal mark in each season) 3x Brownlows, 3x Norms in their first year. All that and never lose a game, poll 3 votes in every game, AND kick at least 10 goals in every game.

 

[Sonny Hayes]

As someone who did 14 minutes of research for this draft I’m gutted we missed out on the bison

Harley Barker?
