...type as 194cm wingman, midfielder. I like his poise but sometimes these types of players find it hard to find a position, ask HenryHustwaite. Logan Smith, the NGA ruckman, is a good long-term development option. I was a bit surprised they let Cooper Bell through.
Hawthorn - B
It's not...
How we didn't take advantage of the Jack Bowes deal when he is a saints supporter and we could have doubled up with pick 7 is beyond me. All this salary cap space and nothing to use it on either.
Is this really such a big factor? I feel like most of those recent moves (with Battle being one of the exceptions) had other circumstances (wanting to move back to their home state, better money/longer contract/more guaranteed game time etc.) that were much more important than the team they...
...him. His old man played a few games for our reserves.
Out of contract at the end of 2026
Ben King (2026 - RFA)
Ollie Murphy (2026)
HenryHustwaite (2026)
Jack Bowes (2026)
Karl Amon (2026)
Ollie Murphy could be one to watch here. A raw 200cm defender who is yet to make his debut for...
HenryHustwaite - He had a good solid end to 2023 and started the 2024 pre season on fire. However, he has gone missing since the 1st couple of rounds in 2024. I hope Sam is in his ear assuring him how his best assets could complement our current game plan. He should be banging the door down...
...when we 'needed big bodied midfielders'.
This also ignored the existence of Jai Newcombe, as well as the addition WITHIN THAT DRAFT of 195cm midfielder HenryHustwaite.
We also traded up to get Josh Weddle.
So yeah, D+.
Some of these media outlets have zero idea what they are talking about.
My nominations are HenryHustwaite and Bodie Ryan. There is a long queue in both the midfield and the back half. Standing in the queue will not be enough. Both have to show they have something special or they will not be on the list this time next year.
Geelong trade Chad Warner + George Wardlaw + Blake Hardwick + HenryHustwaite
To Gippsland for: Andrew Brayshaw + Matt Rowell + Hayden McLean + Joe Fonti
Hardwick - $323k (2)
Hustwaite - $190k (1)
Wardlaw - $548k (4)
Warner - $950k (3)
GeeCat to confirm
Get Hawthorn to throw in Jai Serong, or HenryHustwaite or Harry Morrison instead of a one of the F2's.
Barrass + F3 for F1, F2, Hustwaite/Serong/Morrison
The only fallacy I can see here is the one you're trying to create, and it literally took a graph for you to come to grips with the idea.
How many of your most important players are over the age of 30?
Your most important players are fairly significant to a conversation like this.
As has been...
It’s clearly A a lot of Geelongs best side are still dominated by prime aged or older players, their replacements are the younger ones who get rotated in, they become prime aged players, the prime become old and new youth comes in, it’s why Geelong have been able to maintain their position for...
You don't think Geelong is getting younger? These players from the list of 33 I posted, are all 26 and under:
Geelong (20)
Miers
Holmes
Zuthrie
J. Henry
Close
Stengle
Dempsey
S. Neale
Bowes
O. Henry
Bruhn
J. Clark
SDK
B. Smith
L. Humphries
C. O'Sullivan
Conway
Clohesy
Knevitt
Mullin
vs Hawks...
I'd say we'd be pretty comparable to that (depth only players who have played an AFL game this far):
B: Zuthrie, SDK, J. Henry
HB: T. Stewart, Kolo, L. Humphries
C: Dempsey, Bruhn, Holmes
FO: Conway, Danger, B. Smith
HF: O. Henry, J. Cameron, Miers
F: Stengle, S. Neale, Close
INT: C. Guthrie...
He’s really slow. Doesn’t get much outside ball and gets burned on transition by good mids even at vfl level. Doesn’t suit our running game at all as well. Has talent - just needs a big preseason to find a yard and build a tank.
For those who have seen more of Box Hill than me, what is the issue with HenryHustwaite? He is big, has poise with the ball and seems to use it well, but he didn't progress at all this year.
...Oscar Murdoch, Ted Clohesy
Gold Coast - Swallow, King, Sam Clohesy, Davies
GWS Giants - Sam Taylor, Tom Green
Hawthorn - Karl Amon, HenryHustwaite, Dear
Melbourne – Judd McVee
North Melb – Greenwood, Sheezel
Port Power - Miles Bergman
Richmond - Noah Balta
Saints – Steele, Marshall...
...currently;
Jason Binns (Carl),
Hugh Bond (Adel),
Koltyn Kolstrup (Melb - 10 games so eligible),
Harry Barnett (West Coast),
HenryHustwaite (Hawks),
Hugo Garcia, Arie Schoenmakers (Saints),
Lloyd Johnstone, Jake Rogers, Ethan Read (Gold Coast),
Steely Green, Kane McCauliffe (Richmond)...
That half back line, as well as having Curnow & Cameron up forward is a pretty decent starting nucleus. If the Tassie expansion team got given the alliteration team I reckon they’d start off ok, draft some mids and go from there.
Zane Zakostelsky bonus points for being a ZZ
...Chesser
HF: Jamaine Jones, Charlie Curnow, Sam Switkowski
F: Charlie Cameron, Sam Sturt, Bailey Banfield
Foll: Callum Coleman-Jones, HenryHustwaite, Harvey Harrison
Bench: Ben Brown, Zane Zakostelsky (VC), Patrick Parnell, Joel Jeffrey
Sub: one of Charlie Clarke, Luke Lloyd
Doghouse...
...how we don't involve players in the Barrass trade. Hawks don't have the draft capital.
I don't know the players well enough but a HenryHustwaite or Sam Butler would be worth a look in a deal. They are the extra 2nd rounders that makes it work.
Barrass + future 2nd for 1st Rounder (15-20) +...
...finals experience this year. Potentially Blanck if they can get his body right?
Smith I'd imagine would be worth the other two picks that come from our first two rounds over this year and next, as well as a player of more value/higher midfield potential- potentially a HenryHustwaite-style...
