i've yet to see the explosiveness from him, i need to see them play a good game or have good attributes, hopefully both, sometimes it takes until i see them at the champs, im yet to see that from him, he is certainly tall so he has size, didnt really do much in the trials game, has had a couple decent NAB League performances, so he is on the radar, but not in the ones to look out for yet.
Thoughts on Boomer junior?
Sheezel not elite?
im trying to get him to the hawks mate
mate dont worry, wce cop it everytime we look to get pick 1..2020 our pick 1 became pick 4 due to the suns, this year with Ashcroft we're getting stichted up againim trying to get him to the hawks mate
i should put him in elite, i doubt we can get him anyway now, another hawks fan gone in the draft before we can get them
I’m hearing Harley Reid, Nate Caddy, Nick Watson & Nathan Philactides have all been advised that they are not required to play in the u17 game in a couple of weeks.
In fairness, we dodged two bullets in that draft and Gaff's been a better player than Swallow (who we definitely would've taken if we'd had pick 1).
All 4 had a good carnival in the u18 champs, makes room for more unknowns to get some exposure.
theres 2 Josh Hamiltons, 1 playing for Northern Knights as a draft age player and he has had some big games, then you have Josh Hamilton at Gippsland who is an underager and has a draft aged brother Thomas Hamilton and they look very similar, but yea 2 Josh Hamiltons in the NAB League this year.
You could potentially add Dan Curtin to the mix aswell, plays best as a defender but can certainly swing forward as he has done at school and colts level.

I don't think any team here would be disappointed or unhappy with their selections. Bulldogs might grab Hayes over Szy though. Hewett at 17 is highway robbery.
had 1 big game at the champs and 3 quieter average games to average only 19 disposals, he can be a good attacking midfielder, someone earlier this year said he lacks a contested ball winning side to his game, maybe they were right? also he was always considered in the range of 4-15, i think his WAFL Colts GF efforts and his games last year in the u19's series won people over and we hoped to see more of that, but he was kept quiet in a few games this year so probably goes more to the end of his range than early in his range, also Ginbey and Jones upstaged him in his own team at the champs a bit, i still rank him around 10-12 but just for this phantom draft i had him slide a couple of places.
i think it's pretty safe to assume that freo won't have a first rounder.
Buddy was all set to go to GWS until he didnt, you cant assume anything.
Thanks Davo - how do you rate tsatas compared to Callaghan last year? Expect hawks to finish below dons (but will likely be some strange results in next few weeks as clubs out cue in rack).
similar type of player, Callaghan probably better in traffic as his side steps were terrific, but Tsatas probably wins more of the footy.
