Raikiwasa misses out

 

[Mr39]

Any info on him?

I've been a huge fan of Hoskin for a while now. Great running defender and can carry the ball.

Good luck to him.

I suspect that isn't him

those tweets are hilarious. i hate to be one of those people that stalks new kids (that even sounds wrong) but the guy on the right in that twitter profile pic looks just like a mate of mine..! so i went to his facebook to check and couldn't find out, but his quotes are pretty cool -

A champion team will always beat a team of champions

A good team dreams it... A great team lives it

he is a Magpie already yes? those quotes sound like a Port Adelaide man!

 

[Macca19]

Plays tall good skills, good defensively. Just needs to find some pace. Stoked hes in the system

 

[The Smaller Warrior]

Probably should delete his twitter account. I assume its his anyway.

That isnt him.

Cliffs on Hoskin for those who give the SANFL the total lack of attention it deserves?

 

[Enviable Tradition]

I have been a fan of his since that monster torp goal into the teeth of the breeze when the Maggies played before the Power.

A real run and carry, long kicking, line breaking type. Hinckley wasn't kidding about getting the defence sorted out first. So much depth there now!

 

[Peck]

Not expecting too much from either of our rookies to be honest. So many disappointments in recent years.

I do like the sound of Hoskin though, and was surprised he didn't get a look in last year after what some of our posters had to say about him. Good luck Justin

 

[Chrizzt]

Don't know much about Hoskin. Is he basically 3rd in line behind Heath and Stevenson?

 

[It Just Is]

Highlights are impressive. Not overly fast but assured with ball in hand and a thumping kick.

To me, if you were to take the written pre draft descriptions of Ben Jacobs then Hoskin is very similar, but actually does perform those abilities. He is a big long direct kick, he does hit targets, he does generate play from the back half, he is courageous in that he's happy to cop a hit and back into a pack, he plays tall, he has great hands in close. His downside is that he lacks pace and is prone to over thinking things and getting caught, lacks x factor and is a bit meat and potatoes. He plays similar to how we played Pfeiffer this year.

I seriously can't get used to this 'drafting players who play in preferred positions with the purpose of playing them in those positions' business.

I recall a line of thought in another thread whereby it was suggested (by REH?) we should keep a rookie position for a Magpies player. It may have even been reylayed to the club at a members meeting? I'm wondering if this is the incarnation of said suggestion? RussellEbertHandball.

Yep I have written that on here and made the recommendation to a couple of officials, in private conversations. It seems stupid that we are now one club, have a whole lot of young players looking for an opportunity, our last rookie spot has been a pass or a dud, we can watch these kids closer than any others, so why not use it on a Magpies player and help with the integration of the 2 squads of players.
