Sam says Blicavs…

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Welcome Josh!










How we got the pick?

 

[KermitJagger]

I reckon there's a good chance we see him in a non-defense role. High upside pick given his development this season.

 

[Hawk4life1990]

Not sure on the cost, Pick 27, F2 & F3. But happy for Josh to get to the Hawks. Welcome Josh!

but even better and sexier in brown and gold. I cannot believe it, we've won the off-season.

Welcome Josh.
All the best in your career.

 

[Rocket72]

Could play anywhere, great selection. Looking forward to seeing him develop.

Great kid.

I have no idea what we have here. Can someone post something about his attributes. The bit of Youtube video suggests he reads the flight well and is good overhead as well as being clean by foot. But, it is a very small sample. What are his test stats?

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

 

[OnTheRocks]

Is he an afl ready-made type or a bit of a prospect?

 

[VandoHawk]

I loved Weddle this year. Creamed both taller and shorter opponents. I wonder if his natural athleticism means we may develop him in another position.

 

[CHUBBSS]

Looks like an anything player, with burst speed that means could even play mid

=8th in standing vertical jump
3rd in running vertical jump
9th in 20m sprint
4th in the time trial

Very versatile athlete

Gunner replacement?

 

[Davo-27]

I've been big on him all season, months before his champs where he gained a lot of fans, he is a great athlete who can cover the ground like a Mark Blicavs

, also was a key defender shutting down Aaron Cadman to difficult shots on goal, a lot to like here with Josh, 2 great picks so far.

 

[SSSSSS]

It wouldn't be a Hawthorn draft without a random skinny half back flanker bolting up the draft ranks.

 

[cryptor]

Looks ready-made to me.

Frosty upgrade

This guy is an animal.

If he's a Blicavs-type athlete Davo... do you think there's the genuine chance that he becomes a mid?

Mindful that I saw somewhere about him playing mid as a junior...?

 

[Bardo State]

chopflop was high on him in the phantom. Super competitive.

Gunner replacement?

Sicily need to find his big boy pants an replace gunner
