Can Hawthorn succeed while ignoring the elite end of the draft? - Part 2

[cryptor]

Henderson yes excellent season but a dime a dozen type

Hopefully we've put our order in for another two dozen of him then.

You can buy them second hand from GWS

That's where we get our 'damaged but repairable' types from.

Clarko could probably get 3 career best seasons out of Kade Simpson as a forward.

Refurbished

 

[threesixpio]

In these unprecedented times with the new normal we are in uncharted territory ...

Sorry, I was playing COVID19 reporting bingo.

But all of the above (said less annoyingly) is a great set up for Clarko to come up with a 17 round game plan to destroy all. He is an innovator and a genius.

Oh.. and re list management: the oldies will love 17 rounds.

Worrying signs for the Hawthorns

 

[GuzzLG]

How many days since hawthorn have won a final?

 

[Pessimistic]

How many days since hawthorn have won a final?

4 grand finals since essendin did, weve lost more grannies too

Worrying signs for the Hawthorns

Where are they at?

 

[Xtreme]

Meh if we finish last this year we'll draft the next Luke Hodge...... another 3peat coming by 2029!

 

[Gavin Excell]

Where are they at?

Go back a few pages here and apologists are talking top 4 after Clarko magically bypassed the draft.

 

[Brunswick Trap King]

It's hard to see them surpassing last year's results.

Who's the next broken down GWS player they've got their eyes on? De Boer?

 

[Milanista28]

Way too slow and lack class

 

[JHF1870]

They lack a lot of punch, and they don't have a grind it out Sydney style of play. They don't have much at all to match it at the top level.

It was nice of them to swap Burton for Wingard

 

[Pessimistic]

Will finish 6-10

 

[Ambrosia]

How old were they this week Ron The Bear

 

[Gavin Excell]

Will finish 6-10

Think that's fair

 

[boncer34]

The answer remains no.

 

[JHF1870]

Will finish 6-10

Think that's fair

6-8

With reduced games however, every game is going to be crucial. 10 games will be the mark.

 

[boncer34]

How old were they this week Ron The Bear

Think 6 or 7 are 30+ and another 6 or 7 will be 30+ within a year.

 

[Red Bull]

Where are they at?

Not Dingley
Wave goodbye to that ...

 

[Bradkli]

Hanrahan will be delisted in two years
And Harry Morrison the same. Both got picked tonight whilst guys like Mitch Lewis and Jack scrimshaw missed out.

There wouldn’t be too many other sides with worse under 23 talent than us.

Blake Hardwick is going to be a solid defender.

James sicily is the only one with star quality.

James Worpel will be a very serviceable 200+ game player but he’s too one dimensional. He’s an inside mid with awful skills. Every team has that type of player.

The draft you say ?

Scully, Patton, The Chad ...

Who needs the draft ...

 

[Bunk Moreland]

I wouldn’t take much out of this round in general.
