Before Rd 6 :)

[SirRooke]

Tomahawk in before Rd 6...gotta be happy with that!

Gotta be happy for that to happen.

ONballer, KPP and running players from the draft, first three, Selwood, Hawkins and Djerrkura will all debut before R6.

Great effort from the draft

 

[Big Nasty]

hopefully he dominates in the VFL before being selected.

It seems that Bomber is just waiting for Hawkins to get some match fitness and then he'll be straight in.

This would suggest to me that there are some serious concerns about King's fitness,because there is no way that both Ottens and Hawkins could play in the forward line together.

Sj to be back before Round 6?

Why not? Try matching up on Ottens, Mooney, Hawkins and NAblett. There's a bit of firepower there

 

[Copernicus]

So long as they don't play him before he's ready.

I want him to dominate the VFL before he gets picked. No need to be hasty.

You say that like it might not happen

The moment he is fit he will smash his VFL level opponents.

From the Herald Sun:
"Thompson addressed serveral topics saying:
*cuts out rest of the artical*
"Draftee Tom Hawkins would play during the first half of the season, possibly as early as Round 3 or 4"

Sounds like they are rushing him imo but lets wait and see.
