On topic, both North and Hawthorn, despite poor stats to the year, have 'unearthed' or added some additional young talent in 2024.
D'Ambrosio has looked good (probably Hawthorn's best so far), as has Ginnivan (which is hard to do as a small forward in a struggling side).
For North, McKercher has hit the ground running and Powell has taken a big step up (after an injury interrupted '23).
