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

[juss]

Another pathetic performance...this week against Sydney’s NEAFL side...just so grim our list...our forward line and midfield are just so pathetic...

I'm not convinced you're a Hawks supporter.

‘not even waiting for the end of the game to go the early train?

Even if you crawl over the line with your ageing team, what's a win against Sydney's reserves side going to prove?

And? Troll or not, he's not wrong.

Haven’t seen much of the almighty Hawks this year. But note their lowly position on the ladder. How are that plethora of young guns of theirs going? Worpel polling well in the Brownlow? Mitch Lewis close to yeh Coleman?

 

[PAFC_1870]

I didn't mind them in their good years...

But thank fk that's over.

Remember before the Melb game, commentators, it's ok, they'll win their next 3 games and we'll all be saying how good they are....

Yeah nah.

Many, many years of pain coming.

Hawks youth were pretty average today

Scrimshaw did bugger all. Is he seriously considered A grade potential?
Lewis barely sighted. Looks to be lacking confidence
Worpel ok but not near last year's heights
Day thought was good. Very light but clearly has the talent

 

[RudyBlue]

That last quarter was reminiscent of some of our honourable losses under Bolts...

 

[Cadillac]

I’m so thankful Wingard turned the dogs down and asked for a trade to Hawthorn. If he chose us it would have meant we lost the draft pick that ended up being Bailey Smith. Would have been a monumental f**k up.

 

[Shade]

Remember when everyone on Bigfooty whinged about how they picked up Scully for nothing.

might aswell have a witches hat out there than him

 

[The 747]

The medium term outlook looks pretty grim for the Hawks

 

[GuzzLG]

But but but Clarko is a genius!

 

[Red Bull]

Just a few FA away from contending

Never forget.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Do we have any concerns about their supposed quality young players?

Lewis did great last year but he hasn't fired a shot this year. Scrimshaw likewise. Hard to see Worpel getting much better than he is currently given his kicking is abysmal and he can't kick goals. Morrison is crap.

Day has shown a bit. Other than that, what young players do they have that look AFL quality? Tough times ahead for this Hawthorn team in my humble opinion.

 

[Chism]

Interesting times coming up for the Hawks and Clarko and they look horrible currently.

 

[La Dispute]

We all knew Hawthorn were going to drop off, but it’s happened so quickly.

They need to be creative and work out which players they can offload for some more draft capital. Surely they don’t need O’Meara or Wingard on the list while they are rebuilding - maybe time to cash them in for some early picks?

I guarantee you I have giving more $$ than you ever will to Hawthorn...and I couldn’t give a **** what you and most of our arrogant and naive supporters think.

Having 2 or 3 picks inside the top 25 this year will help.

 

[Foucault1989]

Who are some young blokes they could bring in to refresh the side?

‘ok but when I regard most of your posting as fantasy so where does that go?

Both Scrimshw and Lewis have been in and out of rehab all year. Lewis has been nothing short of terrible but hopefully it is just conditioning and confidence in his body.
Worpel disappointing this year so far.

 

[Maxabillions]

It’s ok Clarko will bring the younger players in now

For Lewis its gameplan. Hard for a young key forward when the ball movement is so slow.
