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

[Bradkli]

Mitchell clear number 1 and O'meara 2.

An accumulator that can’t kick and guy that plays one good game every 4 or 5 weeks.. worpel has been better than Omera for the past 2 seasons.

Our midfield is bottom 3 in the AFL. Zero depth. Shiels is a solid player but he’s not getting better. There is actually no one else. You need to have 6-8 solid midfielders these days. We have 2-3.

 

[Sonny Hayes]

Explains a lot actually.

Didn't say we were good, just that he is 3rd best still.

Okay cool i didn't say our midfield was good

 

[Ambrosia]

or the xtra money

It was reported Essendon’s offer was the lowest.

 

[Sonny Hayes]

Totally A OKAY with Clarko and everything he and GW did post 2016. We had credits in the bank and went all in to try and win another flag or two with the group they had.

Yes it looks like it won't work

Yes it will set the rebuild back a few years

No i don't have a problem with it, we tried to get around bottoming out as a club and now we will probably look to hit the draft and hope to hiT the lotto like every other club does. Shit happens.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Old. Slow. Gone.

 

[Priddis Is Done]

The Clarko hate is embarrassing.

We as a club went in this direction and if (most likely when) this fails that is one GW, Clarko, Kennett, and everyone else involved.

Not hatred. The man is a legend.

But this is madness. He needs to admit defeat defeat and move on.

It’s hard to think that if you didn’t get JOM and Wingard you’d be much better off, the cost of getting them was way too high.

Patton and Scully pretty much free hits.

Impey a good pick up.

But yes it can just be a simple fact you can’t defy gravity forever.

It’s not hate...Clarko is a legend and will be go down as one of if not the greatest coaches ever...sometimes even the great ones get things wrong...he needs to admit it...everyone can see it, even stevie wonder can..

it’s also the sheer arrogance of our supporters living off our 3 flags in a row that still can’t see or admit that our list is absolutely cooked.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

O’meara would be in the running for the most overrated footballer in the game.

Bazlenka?

 

[Bulldog1954]

Bazlenka?

Obsessed much?

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Obsessed much?

How can I not be?

 

[BigVic]

The Wingard trade is looking like a bust. Scully has done nothing.

 

[Boristown]

Last time Hawks were this bad they were able to draft a generational key forward to help shoot them up the ladder. Unfortunately for them, that kid is already locked away for the Dogs this year.

 

[juss]

Of course they can. Everyone else that saw this coming was wrong, we are still wrong. Hawthorn supporters are right, Clarko is schooling us all we just can't see it yet. Watch him turn this around Hawks will challenge, 2 months ago we were assured of this.

Clarko doesnt need to hit the draft.

Yes it’s all part of a divine plan, just to the untrained eye it looks like a pile of crap

Outside of 1 or 2 homers no one assured you this was going to happen.

Stop listening to the voices in ya head mate.

 

[giggler99]

Hawthorn are crap! I don't think Clarkson or any coach can do much with that list! They'll just be hanging around no mans land on the ladder for the next decade unless the club undertakes a massive rebuild and resets!

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

IMO Clarko is still the best coach in it, and even he can’t get much out of this list now.

It’s going to be ugly when he finally jumps off.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Be interesting should they bottom right out whether they will use their first and second round picks at the draft or look to trade them away again

 

[mattwa]

A lot of the reality Hawks fans are now saying is exactly what opposition fans have been saying all off season...

Embrace the rebuild you have had a fantastic run to this point but your list is 2nd worse in the comp young talent wise

 

[Sonny Hayes]

The one bright point of the past 2 weeks has been Will Day though, clearly not 100% ready physically but definitely belongs.

I really hope Clarko bites the bullet and uses his first and second round picks. However, I’m hearing he want Ben Brown and you would think he will have to give up a first round for him.

See what happens when you finally keep a first round pick. You guys will hurt giving up a 1st round pick for Wingard during the super draft.
