Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Jai Serong! Pick 52, 2021 National Draft

[Strapping Young Lad]

 

[Flukey!]

Matthew Lloyd described Jai as a hard working key forward.
If he is another option up front for us, im good with that.

He’s pretty slender and mobile, so I can definitely see the Gunston-role-comparison.

Does that dash the hopes of Fergus Greene via SSP?

It certainly may.

 

[MrPremiership]

It certainly may.

Who were the other potential BHH contenders? Adduci probably ruled out by Butler.
Sammy a fan of Stu Horner but can't see that happening

 

[James Colorado]

Took a while to get a “Jai” on the list…..


Now we’ve got 2 at the name time

Bloody millennials

He's a Zoomer, Gen X parents, blame them. Millennials are the generation in between, and we get a little sick of being blamed for everything...

[CHUBBSS]

Get the feeling sam is gonna like the cut of his jib, seems a real direct type of person

 

[lethalselbow]

Yeah, there's definitely a player in there. Lots of upside to work with.

At the 1.45 mark, if he can hit the ball and change the angles like that with his pace and size, he'll be a player.

Looks a definite talent. Loads of character, too.

Repeat efforts show he has the right attitude.

Once again my much maligned generation copping it for something that’s nothing to do with us. He’s a Gen Z kid and would most likely be progeny of Gen Xers.

You don't cop it enough to be honest.

Most recent photos on the website make it look like he has that real wiry man strength

He looks like he works bloody hard, some of the kids we got are already first class atheletes

Good story there about Kanga to Reg.

Nice touch letting them choose the numbers, he lit up that he gets to put Gary Abletts number.

That initial choice when starting out shows we want to give them ownership over their career

Sounds like Mitch likes Fergus quite a bit from reading this …….. and really starting to like his judge of character and talent prowess with some of the finds out of nowhere like Bramble/Newk and big improvement in some of the kids since he’s arrived at the club!

[Hawk Dork]

Paywalled

basically wants a contract on a senior list
played 5 games with the dogs got injured no vfl because of ROnna got de-listed BH picked him up 3 days later
Too good for VFL



Five AFL games in four years.
A few injuries.

A lot of frustration.

And questions unanswered.

 

[matey]

Mitch also calling him randomly during the day just to have a chat and Fergus hasn’t met a coach like him.

 

[MisterBean]

Good pick, Gunston replacement.

Nice little diamond in the rough. Give him time to develop

Gunston Sidekick. We are never replacing Gunston.

 

[Sixpence]

Will be very tough to replicate playing in Hawthorn's first Premiership!
