Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn : Nick 'the Wizard' Watson! Rising star Nom!

Yep, either Duursma or Wiz for that exact reason. It became apparent that North were taking Duursma, and from that point on I was 100% in the Wizard camp.

Never once gave any thought to us taking Sanders. Was obvious that we wouldn't.
I didn't think we'd take Curtin either, but was slightly less sure.

The Doggies tried desperately to trade up and snatch Watto from us. I haven't done it but if you look at all the picks they traded to actually get to a place where there had a slight chance in getting him it's quite laughable. Just like us they knew the quality he possess and with all the tall forwards they already have he would've pretty much completed their forward line.

Probably flips the EF result if they had him.

It would have been criminal to ignore this kind of x factor & all it brings, on & off the field.

An 'ordinary' very good player, in his place, just doesn't cut it.

If you're in the box seat to draft a player like we were with Watson - seeing a club do everything they can to move up to take him surely validates your interest and locks you in to making sure you pick him? I know there are lots of games played around who drafts who.

It's like the auction bullshit that West Coast were holding for Reid. Surely after they saw clubs throwing 2x and 3x first rounders at them that they knew it would completely reckless to do anything other than draft him.
