Surely being a premiership player is more important than a measly 17 games

2 time premiership winner !
There’s no way the AFL gift us a number 1 pick unfortunately..... they talk about the romance of father sons , I would have thought that’s enough.

Tell Dean to get his son to pull a “Chad Wingard”

We should have told Dean Anderson to nominate for the rookie draft last year and picked him up and sat him on the bench for 17 games and then everything would be good and we pick up Noah. Watched him today in Perth and he is impressive.

Imagine the Hysteria if we did that. Would be Gold.

Sounds like his CV fits our protocol to a tee.

No idea how we will get him unless we somehow get a top 5 pick next year.

Even that might not be enough.

Anderson second best for Vic Metro v WA yesterday. 4 goals.

Is there any discussion to reduce the games played criteria for father son prospects?? We should do what we can to get this kid to the club..we desparately need A grade kids coming through..we're light on for young A grade talent.
Jeff Kennett and Graham Wright should be all over the AFL on this..when was the last time Hawks were given a leg up.

Everyone should be pestering KB to get on the case ! He’s sympathetic to the cause, and we all know media pressure changes things in the AFL .... so text , call , write a letter and do your bit for the cause . We need this kid and macguinnes in 2019

That ship has sailed.

Not until Sydney are just about to miss out on a top talent player...then there will be.

Tom Graham named as a possible on the Oakleigh bench.

Do you think we would be keen on a player that is struggling to crack into a side whilst the cream are playing in the under 18 championships. Rookie pick at best.

Hasn't he been playing footy for about 6x weeks only?

Not sure he's 'struggling', reckon he's building ok.

Why would we be interested in a player who has “only played football for 6 weeks”?

 

[Brant]

Why would we be interested in a player who has “only played football for 6 weeks”?

Because he’s ‘struggling’ to play for Oakleigh after only 6x weeks after he started playing footy!

Son of a 200+ game HFC player; KP height; recent convert to AFL from Basketball; &, making huge strides after only a month of 2 of playing the game.

Go back a couple pages (or maybe someone will re-post). There was an article or 2 on him, posted in here. Hasn’t played footy in a few years but played in a High School Carnival a few weeks back & (from memory) did well to the extent that he’s converted to AFL. We could’ve grabbed him as a Cat B Rookie if he’d not played that game, but then (of course) he’d be missing a year of development.

Heard he is not eligible until 2019 draft.
If he keeps that up the Hawks will need to tank for him to come to us.

Not F/S anyway though, right?

Yes, hence tank for a high draft pick.

If someone bids a 1st round draft pick for him we only have to match with our 1st don't we. So we don't really have to tank?
