Draft Targets

[God Save Max King]

So I'm guessing a Freeman/Bontempelli type if available? Both are quick and play center square but they might not be there.

 

[Flukey!]

Fast young mids.

 

[xellis]

Freeman yes please.

 

[bEnJi]

Dayle Gartlett?
Dominating WAFL, pacey midfielder who can kick goals. The exact player we should be after.

 

[Easy Slips Catch]

Reckon Bellchambers will be pretty cheap. With good reason.

Has he got the tank to be a midfielder?

 

[bEnJi]

Perhaps his tank might not be AFL standard but a Pre season or 2 and it would. Imagine swapping Rioli and Gartlett for forward pocket to rover

 

[Steven Tyler]

Dustin Martin has put off negotiations until the end of the year
He polarizes opinion because of the perceived "dickhead" status, but what do people think?

 

[PenAndPaper]

Wouldn't mind us picking up Impey

No.
Problem children are sent to box hill and traded at years end at our club, regardless of perceived talent.

It makes you wonder how Buddy has played all these years.

Classify cheap......nothing but a first rounder would be able to prize him away from Essendon.

Hey guys, I was wondering what your club would need to address in the draft. I am currently completing my mock draft and I would love to find out what the Hawks' needs are.

In an ideal world 1st A Patrick Dangerfield clone
2nd Small forward or running backman
We do not really need any tall timber as we have 4 young ruckmen on our list and we picked up Tim Obrien(Tall marking Forward) and Kaiden Brand (Tall marking Back) and this year we are recruiting 2 NZ Scholarship players that will be key position prospects.Our main aim should be best available midfielders, a crumbing forward or running backmen with pace to burn.

No thanks,to much trouble.

 

[xellis]

I think D.Garlett is exactly what we need. Seems an amazing talent and would instantly add to our mix. Obviously the fact that every club passed on him says a lot though. Get him to move in with WhiteX - he'll straighten him out!

 

[Steven Tyler]

Bellchambers yesterday said he wants to stay at Essendon

There is a very good reason he cannot cement his place in their team. The guy cannot play. I hope he has a long career with the bumblers. Plus when someone here starts talking about getting Ryder, watch his performance on Friday. Essendon players are massively over rated.

I've seen Ryder turn it on, but he is possibly the most inconsistent player in the league...

We could've selected Ryder in his draft year, but chose not to because they didn't think he and Buddy in the same team was a good idea ( not sure why)

 

[halfback dasher]

Get Cooney , we have managed Berger's knee's and i see no reason why our medicos can't have the same impact with him .....He's a contested ball winner and an outside ball carrier ....
Sure he come at a reduced rate to play a year or two with his best mate .

 

[Themeanmachine]

Depends on the extent of knee problems, but if he could be managed for a couple of years, why not...or better still get Wrighty to get into ryan griffins ear
Would love to have griffen and birch running of half back and rotating through the middle.

 

[hawker39]

So mids with a decent running ability? Is size an issue?

Would prefer 183 plus but quick amd aggressive midfileders - Sheed, Crouch (a little small but the right type), Salem

 

[Oddhawk]

Not strictly draft related.....

Thoughts on Mummy? Could we use him? What would it take?

Other than being unlucky with injury....he is comfortably better then both Hale and Bailey. Id love him as our first ruck

 

[God Save Max King]

After a fast midfielder would it be best available? I've already secured a mid with elite pace in the BigFooty phantom draft in Lewis Taylor.
