Was speaking to a mate and supposedly this guy is a gun and key position forward (pretty sure his name is Hamish). Brother of Adam and from what I have heard is better then his brother and the coach at West Adelaide says he is the best talent he has seen.

What are peoples thoughts on him and could we take him with our first pick??

Just doing some research to see if bad hammies are genetic.......I'll get back to you.;)
 
Pretty sure he is a midfielder and from what I read on the AFL website, he was BOG yesterday for SA.

Likely top 10 pick.

He's a mid. About 184cm. Can play really effectively as a small/medium forward though but definately not KP.

Anyway I'd still be ecstatic if we got him with our 1st round pick. Absolute gun.

Oh and he's a Carlton supporter :)

My understanding is he's a midfielder.

My guess is Hurley will be gone by our pick so we may take a midfielder/HFF with our 1st pick.

Would be nice to get another draft pick around 17-22 mark as our 2nd round pick will be around 26-28.
 
Started in the forward line yesterday as a small forward, and kicked a goal from nowhere whilst everyone else was scrambling aroun him. Was moved into the midfield where all of skills were on display. This kid can seriously play, and has a bit of X-Factor about him as well.

An absolute monty for a top 10 selection.
 
Going by the above information about him, I don't think there's any position for him in the team at the moment. We've already got midfielders that are waiting for a run in our reserves, no use adding to the already overflowing list.

You're right EBIAC. We've got more pressing needs.

I've been hearing for a while now that he's a gun and yes heard he's meant to be better than Adam. I don't know too much about him except for his name, Hamish, Hamish Hartlett. I say why not use him with our firstie, get him to join his brother (if he stays that is).

If he's around for our first pick - I say we take him.

Best available FFS.

Besides, could make up for not getting Cotchin last year :)

Imagine if we'd taken Cotchin instead of Kreuzer... :rolleyes:

We do?? :confused:

Name me these goal-kicking midfielders with good skills please???

Blackwell??? Jackson??? Benjamin?? Anderson?? Who are you talking about??

You can never have too much class in the middle and even though we have a good starting midfield line-up, we still struggle when the rotations come in.

Yes, I do agree however that we have more pressing needs specially in the forward line and I would like to see a KPF drafted with the first pick but if Hartlett is clearly rated higher than any other KPP when we have our first pick, the recruiting department won't hesitate in snapping him up.

Fair point.........and for the record......... Walker is.........Pfeiffer and Hadley are..................but I see the misunderstanding is all mine.:p:o

I still think the overall point is right though. We have more glarring needs than to add another midfielder to our list.

The forward line is reaching the critical stage. If Fev leaves, or gets a long term injury we immediately go to plan B of pulling Waite out of CHB and our whole structure is up the shit.

As you said, key forward if there is one good enough around the mark. Of course we take best avilable if there isn't a good one around that quality, but I suspect there will be.:thumbsu:
