Hawthorn drafted 4 of those players, 2 have never played a game and only one has played in a flag.

So yes, Hawthorn have been ignoring the elite end of the draft in favour of trading for mercenaries.

You started this thread...

Correct.....It's an ironic play on a main board thread.....Because Hawthorn has 3 of the Number 1 draft picks on it's list, from the past 15 seasons.

There are 18 clubs in the comp & Carlton is the only other with 3 number 1 draft picks on it's list.

Yet the premise that we've been ignoring the elite end of the draft, is made a mockery of, by this stat alone.

We also have 6 picks inside the Top 7, out of 105 from the past 15 seasons…..6 x 18 = 108.....So we're also batting above average there.

I hope the penny has now dropped.

Doesn't matter how we acquired them.....We've been targeting & landing players from the elite end of the draft.....all of O'Meara, Scully, Wingard, Scrimshaw, Patton, Frawley, Burgoyne & McEvoy are of the elite end of the draft.

Penny half way there.

Bombers posters have become so distantiated from reality, that their words no longer match it.
You've thrown a tantrum over someone's opinion on the main board.

It's a melt sweetie.

Carlton has Murphy, Kreuzer, Weitering and Walsh, so 4 National Draft number 1 picks on it's list. Personally, I think it's a bit of a stretch to claim O'Meara, as he was number 1 in a mini-draft, and people when talking about number one picks tend to focus on those from the National Draft!

Pretty strange thread, overall!

To be sure.....Remembering it's a satirical take about a main-board thread.

Something our friend boncer34 seems to have both missed & misunderstood entirely.

Well actually he agrees with me darl. The tears about nuffies and penny dropping doesn't really go hand in hand with your lip quivering assertion your not melting.
 
Your investment in this thread is getting more delicious with each post....The irony is magnificent, while being lost upon you entirely.
You believe whatever helps you recover from this love.
 
Yet another poster incapable of addressing the substance of the thread….Cringe indeed.....It's becoming a bigfooty disease.

Hawthorn has a minimum of 10 players from the elite end of the draft on it's list, currently. Which makes a mockery of Munk Borland's claims to the contrary….and here we have 2 posters utterly incapable of providing for anything even remotely resembling a sensible rebuttal....Because they can't.

If trolling is all you have lads, then don't bother.
