What do you expect?Compared to the days of smart recruiting like Brown from Werribee, maybe even Larkey and Zuurhar in the late stages of the draft + rookie. Does it appear for the past 3 - 4 years it has been ‘ok, best available rated talent the recruiters agree on at that pick’ type of drafting?
We're building from scratch and haven't had any consistent strategy for years cos the coaching changes so frequently.
Psicosis mentioned Mitchell drafting to a strategy. Its a strategy that was built by his predecessor and that he's had four seasons (2021 coaching Box Hill) to work on consistently, and if you consider when he went back to Hawthorn to coach he's had since 2019. We've had Scott in 2019 at the end of the contested ball, long down the line and hit the triple towers then Shaw, Noble and finally Clarkson in that time Mitchell has been coaching at Hawthorn.
Till there's some stability with the direction the coaching team takes its pretty hard to target players to fit a particular style of game play.
