Toast Welcome to Hawthorn, Finn Maginness “absolute Hawthorn nuffie” and a Hawk to 2025

If I didn't know who you were talking about it could be just about anyone in the side. ;-)

TheFourPillars should write daily horoscopes for a living...

 

[grumbleguts]

I hope not, he’s one of the only midfielders we’ve got that kicks goals.

A rarely known fact: The phrase "one of the only" doesn't mean anything.

Someone can be "one of the few" or they can be "the only". "one of the only" makes no sense

Okay.

You are one of the most unique posters on this forum.

In fact, you are more unique that anyone else here!

Is one of the thes only needed or are all the thes necessary

There can be only one.

Those were Worps' first 3 games before winning the B&F the next year.

Anything from Finn before 2022 is a bonus imo with 2020 such a write-off.

Give him time

 

[Blackhawk42]

I'm fully expecting Finn to be best 22 come the end of 2021. He has all the tools and the work ethic. Another pre-season under his belt will do him wonders. Remember, the main knock we were hearing from his scratch match reports were his need to figure out the running patterns. I guarantee he was trying to do much and be everywhere and with a little tweak and understanding of his positioning he won't have any further concerns.

We were destroyed out of the middle by arguably the best midfield group in the competition in the one game he did play. It really is a shame that he didn't play against Gold Coast in the final game because I feel as though he would have starred considering the lack of pressure the Suns applied. That confidence could have set him up for a real crack at next year. Regardless, i'm expecting a very solid output from him.

It's becoming more and more clear that you have zero clue about players and roles if you're going to suggest Finn should've played instead of Harry.

 

[Stratton24]

Finn with his tank could play wing like Menagola as that tall who can push forward for a goal.

 

[HAWKSBESTEVA]

What role does harry play, get 15 useless touches that are kicks backwards and turnovers. Cost us the saint Kilda game with a shocking turnover.

 

[Billyc]

Apprenticeships are for underdeveloped draftees or those with lesser talent.
Maginness isn't an elite talent and will be an industrious type, like J.Kennedy and Sewell.

I sure hope so. That would be an amazing result with a second round draft pick

More rubbish.

It is less about where people rate Morrison and the role they play. No matter where you rate Morrison Finn is not a replacement for him.

The original comment was more of a way at pot shotting Harry in a thread that has nothing to do with him.

That Morrison plays a different role to Finn isn't an opinion, that's a fact.

Morrison has trained with our defensive group as a running link player off half back that pushes through the wing and seems to know his running/defensive patterns well despite other limitations.

Finn is an inside mid with a tank and the main thing reportedly holding him back was that he wasn't running to the right areas.

They weren't competing for the same spot and Finn wasn't about to be able to take on an outside distribution role that's mainly about (different) positioning and running patterns when he wasn't intuitively picking those things up for the role he spent a fair bit of time training for.

Ok fair call, my bad

 

[OnTheRocks]

Ok fair call, my bad

Nothing to apologise for, unlike the original antagonist
We all hope for the best regarding Finn and the HFC btw

 

[Roger Rogerson]

Finns pressure acts in his AFL game were up to the level but the rest wasn't. Can't believe people are expecting him to be a best 22 lock next year. I just don't get where the expectation has come from.

He wasn't a prime mover at U18 level. He is a depth mid. We will learn a heap about him next year. Just shaking my head about the expectation.
