    Best 22 for Round 0. 2025.

    I have Gunston playing first round, possible first 10 or so, he has busted his chops to be primed and ready to go. Maybe Weddle to the bench and one of Ward or Mackenzie misses out. We will need that extra tall forward and gives Sam some more flexibility with Sis and possibly Hardwick. Frost can...

    With the VFLW starting April 19 th does that bring them back to a preseason start of around February 1st ? At Box Hill. Might head to a few games to check the newbies.

    While I truly feel for Calsher and hope he comes good soon, but as you said not only does not only does it give the coaching staff a interesting challenge and some lessor lights the opportunity to shine in the new year it will also help take the haste out of Calsher’s recovery time so he is...

    Thanks so much Newmo89, the B1 and B2 show will be something to behold next season, the backline was really solid this year. Next year will be bloody Fort Knox! Have a good Xmas mate.

    100% agree matey. Only to think it wasn't that long ago we had the worst list in the AFL, we were tanking for picks and were not going to win a game ALL year. So I give it a D+ :rolleyes:

    Thanks Streetspirit three likely inclusions, I have so much faith in our talent search team. Can’t wait to hit the new season 2025. This year was terrific and there will be a fair bit of burn to get deeper in the finals.

    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn : Calsher Dear! Rising star nom!

    This is what blew me away too. They were a brand new bunch, now with another preseason, a few beers and some holiday bonding together this forward line is going to be very “Special.”

    I think it would be more of a break glass in an emergency situation or Sam sees a plan within a plan. Game day positioning can mean the difference between a close win or a narrow loss. Having a few lessons on rucking, like CPR, just in case. Never a bad thing.

    He has great standing leap on him and is a competitive beast. When he plays against oppo's second ruck he'll make a fist of it. I think Sam's plan is to have loads of options to swing around, eg: ruck as a back up we have Chol, Nash and Weddle. Hence the practice, will be fun to watch him at...

    This i am keen on, he can play down back no sweat so great depth in case of major injury blowouts. But i think his opportunity lies forward, played there as junior and the stocks are thinner, while Gunstan definitely wont play the whole season. Love to see him get a shot.

    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Josh Ward. Extends to 2025!

    Great point Simon, i think we currently have a few smart blokes who have amazing instincts, read confidence in their ability. Bruest, Gunston and Sicily immediately come to mind. So, Josh has a few blokes to chat to about this, as do all the players, i personally think it is more about putting...

    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Noah Mraz!

    My thoughts too, twin towers in the backline with loads of time to develop a close rapport with each other, and a massively talented group of mentors surrounding them. Add Ryan, MacDonald and Mitchel and Serong pretty handy junior back 6.

    Totally understand your concern here rei154 but I have in mind a few thoughts on this, it’s a super exciting time to be at the club, competitive again, great head coach, new digs coming up plus a cracker coach at Box hill so developing players will want to hang around.

    Thanks FB19, I always work it this way too, two seperate teams possible and probable. Reckon we will find out who Sammy throws forward in the pre season soon enough. That extra third tall is the only pressing need atm, the rest look pretty bloody solid. No list cloggers is really bloody refreshing.

    Not sure on that MM, a fast tricky forward that can play a bit higher and bolt back could work. Our tall forwards got challenged in the air during the finals and the ball came to ground a lot with an opportunity for a speedster to crumb a score. Keen to see who they target and I am sure Daniel...
