Good changes. Morrison or Bruest the sub. With Gunston out maybe Bruest starts.

Good changes. Assuming Harry goes back, Hardwick forward, Breust sub.
Only thing that makes me a bit nervous is the two tall forward structure. Leaves us rather small when one is on the bench.
The jury is still out. Couldn't find his feet at AFL level as an outside mid. Couldn't get a look in as a inside mid.Question as a non Hawthorn supporter:
How do you feel Ward has developed for an early pick?
I'm not trying to cause a stir or anything. I really liked the kid as a junior and wish we had him but do you feel he is being under utilised or not transitioning to the big stage as he racks the ball up like crazy in the reserves.
Or is that you guys have a few of his style like Newcombe and Day
struggling to break into the inside mid rotation given Newk Day Worpel and Nash, has played on a wing (out of position) but not as effective there. sent to the twos to work on making his disposal more incisive and to work on his contest. easily averaging around 30 touches as an inside mid as box hill. he is absolutely an AFL player – how good he is and is he worth a top 5 (7?) pick is still yet to be determined but hardly a "bust" eitherQuestion as a non Hawthorn supporter:

His first season was good, his second season was solid with reasonable improvement, but so far his third season has been disappointing and he’s found him behind a few currently better players. Thats why he’s been playing VFL. He’s gone back to that level with a good attitude, worked hard and earned a recall. Hopefully this gets him back on track.Question as a non Hawthorn supporter:

My man deserves it, so keenMy boy Ward
Talent wise he’s top of the top, it’s just about having confidence in his own ability. This was done through going to VFL level to also work on his craft at stoppages. Has done a pretty good role on the wing but he is way too talented to just be a role player, so he was taken out to maximise this and the learnings, worked his way back in and will hopefully click and not look back.Question as a non Hawthorn supporter:

He is certainly a beauty of a playerstruggling to break into the inside mid rotation given Newk Day Worpel and Nash, has played on a wing (out of position) but not as effective there. sent to the twos to work on making his disposal more incisive and to work on his contest. easily averaging around 30 touches as an inside mid as box hill. he is absolutely an AFL player – how good he is and is he worth a top 5 (7?) pick is still yet to be determined but hardly a "bust" either
If you look at his first season he was putting up decent numbers, distant second to Daicos from that draft in terms of midfield work - but from there he's been really unlucky imo. He had a few concussion issues early, and a lingering groin issue which really hindered him from being able to cement a spot in the side. Now he needs to try to find a spot around a relatively settled midfield group and he's having some trouble.Question as a non Hawthorn supporter:
