Welcome Welcome/Farewell Paul Haasbroek?

[Strapping Young Lad]

Welcome Paul, CatB rookie.

I assume... he's joining.

 

[TDS7]

We can just list him right? Only Cat-B is O'Hara right now.

Weight: 67kg
D.O.B: 18-12-2002
Leagues: NAB League Boys

Hawthorn pulled a small surprise in nominating Paul Haasbroek as a Next Generation Academy (NGA) candidate, providing another club-tied talent after recent academy and father-son coups. The Eastern Ranges small played six NAB League games in his 19-year-old campaign, utilised mostly as a small forward but also rolling up to the wing.

A speedy athlete, Haasbroek showcased that exact trait with his forward run-and-carry in 2021, as well as useful tackling pressure. His best performances this year came in back-to-back NAB League outings, booting two goals from 11 disposals against Tasmania and Western. He finished well on those occasions, but can iron out his consistency and rate of production as he develops.

STRENGTHS:
+ Speed
+ Forward pressure
+ Run-and-carry
+ Upside

IMPROVEMENTS:
- Production
- Kick consistency

I wish I had a clue what's going on.

Best to just wait and see who runs out round 1.

Well apparently his addition to the Cat B list is automatic (once nominated and not drafted). So yeah, welcome!

Weird the club is silent on him though.

Also weird I've checked about 4 AFL related lists and there's no mention of him. One has us as pick 23, another as pick 22, than another saying we passed, then another list on the AFL website where they list the Category B picks and no mention of him. As you said, best I wait until round 1 and see who runs out.

Also, where does Jackson Callow fit in with all this? I'm totally confused.

Cal closed out the rookie draft by saying clubs would announce their Catb rookies over the coming hours.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Rookieme website has announced all picks taken, and a bunch of CatB rookies....no mention of Hawks.

Maybe we're not adding him afterall?

 

[Rowie6]

If you nominate him , I would have thought we would have to take him if no one else had??

We’ve since spoken to the club and have to apologise for the mistake, it seems he hasn’t been added. We’ll review any rule changes that might have happened as that was certainly the rule prior (as pointed out with Pepper and CJ) but good to know there is more versatility there.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

good to know there is more versatility there.

Just what the draft needs ... more "versatility"

 

[chopflop]

Hope he didn't follow rookieme and hope we invite him to train over the SSP

 

[Yuley95]

Gee i hope the kid was communicated with clearly and knew where he stood. Sounds like a bike of a cluster-fork

 

[RIOLINWITPUNCHS]

So my question is, if we didn't pick him up do we have someone else in mind?

Otherwise wouldn't that empty Cat B spot just sit there?

 

[streetspirit]

I think we can add cat B's at any time now so perhaps he'll get a trial come 6 December for a bit.

 

[Davo-27]

another speed merchant in the mold of Seamus Mitchell and Jack Saunders, maybe we should get them to race to see who is the fastest in pre-season?

 

[MrPremiership]

Seems he was a free hit as a Cat B. Curious why we didn’t take him

Is it known that we didn’t? Or is it just that we haven’t yet?
