Huge bloody risk.

The club has been speaking ******** for two months. Talls take longer to develop so we'll see whether it works out. Better not have done a Tim Walsh/Luke Molan htough by taking a tall too early.

I am happy, we needed talls and we got the best 2 in the draft, at least 1 should make it, but hopefully both, this could be Reiwoldt, Kosi type scenario.

Midfielders aren't as hard to come by, so i am happy.

But Judd-type and best aboriginal type midfielders dont come across everyday!

I wanted us to draft via our needs, we have done that with our top 2 picks, disappointed we haven't drafted a young ruckman, hopefully next year. We need size, more then midfield. Time will tell how well we have done.

Read Riewoldt/Koschitzke and Jordan Lewis was obviously the next best midfielder. Patience guys,we had to prioritise.
Did we?

Time will tell for all guys drafted, but by choosing not to run with the best options available, Hawthorn has left itself very little wriggle room if things go pear shaped with Roughhead & Franklin.

I can't believe the club overlooked BOTH Tambling & Griffen!!!

While we certainly need talls, its not as if we're overloaded with midfield quality, and a strong midfield contingent is what you build a side around.

I would anticipate that both Franklin & Roughhead will spend next year at Box Hill. The only real upside is that if things go totally to shiite again, we'll be back same time next year to grab a pair of gun midfielders and a tall ruck type.
