Great to finally have him officially a Hawk!

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Welcome home

 

[The hands of stone]

Reckon we have a good one here , welcome and good luck Connor !

 

[On Topic]

Bid came a bit later than I thought it would but that works out better for the club. Welcome to Hawks Downie, can't wait to see that booming left kick at the 'G.

 

[TylerDurden]

Welcome Connor!

 

[Gralin]

Excellent

 

[TazHawk15]

The AFL dudes say some clubs rated him top 15.

 

[Buckemenico]

Brad hill was pick 35?

 

[Judd2Sewell]

After this whole rona experience I think it's safe to say that China owed us this one.

 

[kazzooka]

My kids will have his number on their backs. First Chinese Hawk.

Was all set to captain the eastern rangers and move into the midfield from the wing to build his inside game.

Has all the tools, should be able to crack some games next year. Will be behind Phillips and Scully for the wing but if we've played a 3rd wing a lot the last few years. Moore, day and downie to rotate there.

Yep, Melbourne and GWS were quite interested. Thankfully they had their eyes on others and he snuck through.

I am sure that if he played this season he'd have firmly been in the top 15/20.

I like the fact that he is physically bulked up already.

We always seem to get the scrawny ones.

The next Dusty.

You can see why, if his move to the inside worked he'd be a top ten pick no doubt. Huge chest looks like he could be a real wrecking ball.

 

[Brishawk]

Yeeeessss!!!!

 

[HODGEYROAD]

I hope this ends up being an absolute steal for us, we're due some luck with F/S and or Academy type selections.

 

[Hodgey 15]

I like this pick up a lot.

Very similar build to the great Dipper himself with the big barrel chest and even got the dipper mullet!

A powerfuly built mid/wing is something we have been in desparate need off to better balance our fleet of light endurance athletes.

 

[cryptor]

Absolute bargain. Not sure how he slid so far.

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Is it just me or does he have a massive set of hands as well?

Looks like he could almost palm the footy Anthony Koutoufides style!

Big calves, big chest, big hands and big hair. The footy quadrella!

 

[Golden Brawn]

This kid is a friend of my son's at Balwyn High - he looks like a great prospect, but if nothing else, he's a super nice guy

Seems like a good kid. Was captain of the rangers this year.
