Still arguing about Reeves? Way I see it, Hawthorns youth is quantity over quality.

This should spice up this thread... If there was a talls draft today, including these three clubs u24 players, this is how it would fall IMO:

Talls

Pick 1 - Thilthorpe
Pick 2 - Larkey
Pick 3 - McKay
Pick 4 - Butts
Pick 5 - Grainger-Barras
Pick 6 - Edwards
Pick 7 - Koschitzke
Pick 8 - Coleman-Jones
Pick 9 - Reeves
Pick 10 - Comben

For fun, I've done a few more:

Midfielders

Pick 1 - Thomas
Pick 2 - Horne-Francis
Pick 3 - Simpkin
Pick 4 - Davies-Uniacke
Pick 5 - Powell
Pick 6 - Phillips
Pick 7 - Schoenberg
Pick 8 - Rachelle
Pick 9 - Ward
Pick 10 - Worpel

Defenders

Pick 1 - Day
Pick 2 - McKay
Pick 3 - Jiath
Pick 4 - Butts
Pick 5 - Grainger-Barras
Pick 6 - Scrimshaw
Pick 7 - Goater
Pick 8 - Sholl
Pick 9 - McAsey
Pick 10 - Perez

Forwards

Pick 1 - Thilthorpe
Pick 2 - Rachelle
Pick 3 - Zurhaar
Pick 4 - Larkey
Pick 5 - Stephenson
Pick 6 - Moore
Pick 7 - Butler
Pick 8 - McHenry
Pick 9 - Fogarty
Pick 10 - Ford

Unfortunately for North, their younger players aren't showing anything this year, and look questionable.
Having said that, it's amazing what a new (younger) coach can do. Particularly one who has faith in them and the player actually see a future with.
Also, some reasonable senior players would help.
Only difference between Hawthorn and North IMO. Could look very different in 18 months.

Would love to continue the hawthorn discussion in the hawthorn thread on the drafts & trading board.
Unfortunately, unable too as previous discussions there were obviously a little to close to the truth for some …
What happened?

Mitch Lewis. What a find with the last pick of the draft.

Great first quarter and caught them napping but Bulldogs too strong and deep in the middle. Few more drafts with a focus on the middle and we will start our climb.

Blanck on debut held a good account of himself. Another young key position player to add to the mix.

Futures looking bright.

For some positive news RE: North it looks like with the Eagles winning they will be certs for the number 1 pick. Couple of Victorians to go for at number 1 this year so good chance to hold on to them.

Given the draft hand over the past few years, the young hawks are looking quite good. Early days though

Sounds like mature recruiting will re enter the mix at the hawks. Many won’t be happy

We've rebuilded in a strange way filling out the back and forward end. Midfield is in dire straits but luckily seems to be the easiest area to find good players.

Where would it be without trading in JOM and Tom? Were there bontempelli types we could have drafted?

Can you imagine how up and about Psicosis is going to be if Comben ever gets a game?
