Player Watch Welcome to Hawthorn pick 13: Will Day 2023 PCM!

[Hawker1167]

I'd like him to keep 30

a young Peter Schwab

 

[Judd2Sewell]

I'm going early mentioned it on a post already (don't know if it was on here).
Bookmark it will get #24.

Give him 11, that's a good number for him IMO. I hoped he would get 9 though.

 

[matey]

Will get 12 when Frawley retires one Day like his grand father!

 

[Zack]

When you worry about what number is on your back your probably not a footballer more a supporter.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Harris Andrew type? I don’t think so, mate.

The part I thought was funny was when talking about Noah Anderson he says 'the Gold Coast Suns they've found one there'. GTFOH… more like they got handed one there

Credit to them having to search all the way through the first 3 players of the draft to “find” a player.

 

[extractasam]

What a first year from the kid.
Honestly thought he’d be spending the first 2 seasons in the gym.
Cool that we’ve managed to find a player who’s easily been top 3-5 out of his draft (so far) at pick 13.

Third in the AFLPA best first year player award. Pretty impressive given the number of players picked ahead of him. Funnily enough the AFL site has a poll in the article to pick the rising star, don't think Day is any chance, but they don't even have him in the 9 players most likely, if you want to vote for him, you'd have to vote 'OTHER'

Yet Charlie Constable is an option wasn't even nominated during the year.

Just shows what a joke the AFL media dept is!
This Riley Beveridge must be Barrett's blasted brother or something.

Fantastic effort to finish 3rd voted on by the players themselves. Should be very proud.

Ash, Anderson and Serong all top 10 picks, so safe to say we absolutely nailed it with pick 13 on Day. In very good company. Hopefully we back it up with another great pick this year.

Correct for shortened game time I reckon Will comes out in front.

Garry Lyon remains convinced that Gold Coast’s Matt Rowell should win the 2020 Rising Star award.

I feel sick I agree with Garry Lyon, I would still give it to Rowell, Day for me would be next but I'll admit I didn't see enough of Freo. So no issue if it Sarong.
Anderson for me is exceptionally vanilla, or if he were wearing Hawthorn Colours Beige.

 

[MrPremiership]

Should go well in the Rising Star award. Potentially top 3

 

[Bugs1977]

I think it will go this way

Serong
Anderson
Day

Great effort from the kid. He’s been a real highlight for us.

He’s outdone himself this year, but I still think he can have a big say in what we do in 2021.

If someone had have told you last November that Day would be the stand out youngster for us in 2020, would play 11 games and be considered a strong chance for a podium finish in the Rising star you’d have been chuffed.

I’m already pretty pumped about watching him go on with it next year.

I wasn't on the side of him needing to stack the weight on and always felt he might come in and do some nice things, just based on his highlights which showed a really smart footy player, but based on his size there's just no way anyone could have expected him to come in and play the way he did.

Really excited. Made a wasted season feel like not a waste at all.

I was tuning in for the Will Day show for the second half of the season.
