Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Jack Dalton

[Roddy]

How did he slip so low? Might have another Sammy Mitchell on our hands…

 

[Since 2001]

I don't know who to compare Dalton to, but how I would describe him is he is like tom Mitchell getting the hard ball gets and handballs out, his running is Isaac smith

like and his tackling pressure is wizard like. Put them all together and that is Dalton in my opinion.

Edit: Has the HOK BALL energy

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Came back early from injury, and had a cool 35 disposals.

 

[TONYC3163]

Kicks goals as well.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Is he quick?

Won the 2km time trial at the combine.

 

[2008wasoverDEW!]

This kid looks a ripper!
Quick, elite endurance, clean ball handling, with a neat left foot.

 

[ViperV10]

Welcome to Hok, "MacGyver".

For the uninitiated, Jack Dalton was a recurring character.

 

[SA HAWK]

With a name like that how can you possibly fail.

Has sherrif from an 1800's gold rush town in america ring to it.

 

[TazHawk15]

Welcome young man, go well.

 

[westhawk]

Looks a ripper, loving getting a couple of lefties in the midfield.

 

[kazzooka]

Kicking looks to be a bit of a weakness for him. Typical of inside mids to just boot it out of congestion. Hopefully with his running power he can get some space and improve that a bit more. Or handball in tight instead.

 

[Tomohawks]

I hate to rain on the parade, but judged on highlights alone that I just viewed he seems to mung the footy forward by foot a bit. Kicks and moves around the contest like Tom Mitchell. Having said that he can obviously run and find the pill so MM wouldn't have made that move without great reason so in sleepy mark i trust. Good luck Jack, and welcome to the Hawks. This is a real flip of the coin selection on a mid that I hoped that we took tonight. Optimistic but skeptical at the same time. We didn't give up much in a weak draft so well worth a shot at the dartboard. Could be a bullseye by all means but just concerned with the hack kicking under pressure from what I just saw and seemed to lack penetration as well.

Love the Merrett comparison …… which didn’t cost us 4 1st’s!

Merrets disposal skills are elite, hopefully this young bloke can get to that level. And yeah lol not for 4 freaking firsts

valid point on his skills by foot. From what I have seen of him, I would suggest when he has the space and he knows he does his skills are good. Typically these inside mid likes just like to get ball to foot, hopefully jack can gain spacial awareness and that will help with his skills.

Welcome son!

 

[cryptor]

Allergic to handballing by the looks of the highlights. Lots of potential though.

Hard to handball with broken wrists!

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I’m getting Lachie Neale vibes from the vision. Similar height too

Agree. He's an average kick.
Has other solid traits though.

 

[Davo-27]

Accumulator midfielder, injury early season dropped his ranking, but came back and had a good champs and season with grand finalists Sandy, bit like Jagga Smith last year, needs a bit more directness in his game to improve imo.

We got our Worpel replacement then…

 

[CHUBBSS]

Work on his kicking and woweee.

How the **** do you break both arms/wrists, he must of been training hard

Doing weights.

 

[sohsam]

I like this pick alot. Like him in the early 20s. Natural ball winner and elite endurance

never heard of him before today, expected to have gone pick 30-50, we must have wanted him badly enough if offered pick 34. Having said that few months ago Nairn was expected to go much later, then the shock he was going to taken with pick 12, we got him.
