Traded Changkuoth Jiath [Traded to Melbourne for Pick #42 and 2026 R4 (Melb)]

[Strapping Young Lad]

Good athlete, can’t play footy

Most definitely can play footy.

He needs to start the game, rather than be sub.

He got absolutely slammed for his performances coming into a hot prelim final, go back and watch some of his full games, and he has serious weapons.

He needs his confidence back and he can be a very good AFL level player.




All the best to him, he’s had a hell of a story already and I will miss him in the hawks colors.

 

[SA HAWK]

Ones of those players that just lets you down in the crucial moments.

Wish him the best at Melbourne.

Jiath got played in the wrong position at Hawks. Jiath is a third tall defender primarily. He is the guy who plays on the 3rd tall forward and uses his athleticism to run off him + drift off him to intercept

I dont think Demons plan on using him like Hawthorn did... atleast I hope not. I suspect Demons want to use him as a more defensive minded player. Basically the guy to replace Judd McVee

I believe Melbourne will be using in the half back role. Similar to when he started at hawthorn.

He’s not a third tall, and not big enough to be one.

His weapons are his pace and his leap. Exactly why he will play as a back flank.

Pace and leap can easily become close down speed and spoiling too mind you.
