Player Watch Welcome to Hawthorn, Denver Grainger-Barras

Aww the Denver Broncos?!?!

I wanted the Dallas Cowboys ...

 

[Gralin]

Wasting a top 5 pick on a defender? Really?

He was pick 6

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Hawthorn has produced a number of great key defenders over the years. Players like Moore, Knights, Langford, Mew, Jencke and Hay come to mind. Possibly one of the few areas under Clarko where we haven't grown our own to the same extent. Hopefully Grainger-Barras puts that to rest.

Absolutely stoked with DGB. Was my preference. Can slot in for Sciliy's spot next year, then move to FB with a bit of size and hold it for the next decade.

Outstanding
thank you Mac for sliding

 

[Rocket72]

Very safe pick. Will play 200 games+

 

[threesixpio]

Says he wants to be a cross between McGovern and Rance

 

[jenniferHAWKinS]

Wants to be the best player in the AFL. Bloody hope so. Reckon he will be the best tall defender in the league at least.

 

[TheFourPillars]

He was before my time but seems reminiscent of Knights.

Knights is a legend of our club i would even settle for hall of famer

 

[Brishawk]

Very excited about dgb. Will be a very versatile player. Incredible in the air and reading the play.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Reckon he will play next year with Sicily out. Made his selection more a priority than it may have appeared a while back. Ready to go when called upon and will not be out of place even as a young bloke.

Thrilled to have you at the mighty Hawks!
The three talls drafted before you won't get a chance to kick many goals against us when you're there intercepting the incoming ball.

 

[TylerDurden]

Welcome DGB

 

[Hodgey09]

Wanted McDonald but after hearing McDonald talk about how DGB towelled him up....can get onboard this just fine. Welcome DGB!

 

[Hodgey 15]

Happy with this one. Welcome to the family DGB.

 

[Billyc]

With DGB, Scrimshaw, Sicily and Day, we are going to have a formidable backline in the air and with run and skill. It’s the one area of the ground our rebuild is now looking very strong.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Absolutely stoked with this pick. He can set us up with Scrim and Sic in the back line for the next 6+ years.

[Strattonsphere]

Other clubs were asked who they would take number 1 (without JUH), DGB was mentioned by 4 clubs, the most of any player

 

[OnTheRocks]

Welcome DBG
Is he a match winner?

 

[Randy Campbell]

Stoked
As a Swan Districts member I have seen a lot of Denver and I couldn't be happier.

 

[PT Bar None]

Welcome

 

[Todman]

Give him No. 30

 

[hardway]

Welcome and odds are good for WA boys joining the mighty hawks that you will be a solid player.

 

[Mojo]

One of the 'sure-thing' prospects from the draft. Safe but a fantastic option from Hawthorn.
