2022 Draft Thread

Ultimate dollar each way. Two posts ago, you were confident he’d kick 40.
Not really, a bit hard to kick goals from defence if that's deemed the immediate need, but with an outstanding set shot his best place is up forward, that's the logical place to start in my opinion.
 
I haven‘t been to VlAldo’s since before COVID and it was sensational.

Went to the Railway before Xmas, was just ok. St Telmo is the king steak joint now.
Railway hotel in Port Melb ?

If thats the place your talking about then they changed ownership and the previous owner has just taken over the Graham
 
Perfect example of trying to be the maverick, I doubt he was in any club's sights, could have quietly picked him up as a rookie. But Hine's radar for good characters has diminished over the years, it's a far cry from the Pendlebury era, they have also lost the plot with trade values, always a fire sale and always a ratings winner for those who enjoy a good soap opera.

You also need to take into effect what role Hine was doing. Very easy to put all Collingwoods recruiting/trading on Hine over the past two decades but his role has waxed and waned over that time.

From recruiter to List Mgr (giving up head of recruiting duties - which anecdotally he wasn't as good as) back to recruiting (reporting Graeme Wright when came across),

These all need to be weighed with time lines if you're going to apportion responsibility.

Sounds like you just volunteered :LOL:

All jokes aside, Harley is the type of player who might initiate a fresh round of tanking, I've got Dusty vibes, it will take some exceptional football to knock him off the number one perch, either that or he pulls a Darling stunt or two.
Yep.Didn't look out of place in the champs.
Hopefully West Coast finish last.
Bring him home to Tigerland in a few years.
 
Now our list for season '23 is complete how does everyone here rate our total off season recruiting?
I think we obtained the correct type of personnel it just comes down to whether we hit the right notes at the right time.

My best mate owns San Telmos.
We’re actually partners in a horse, San Telmos Fire.
We might be serving her up soon if she doesn’t find some form.

Your best mate is a god in the kitchen, it’s my favourite joint in Melbourne.

Can pick good animal flesh, besides horses.

Got a source at Hawthorn and some inhouse mail coming through.

They are over the moon with Cam MacKenzie, seeing things in match sim that have them convinced he is an A grader. Seeing Pendlebury type things.

And Josh Weddle is performing in every role they play him in. And is physical, ready to go. They think both are destined to play a lot of football this year.

The three best kicks in the draft all set to debut, in order I had them ranked Sheezel, Cowan & McKenzie.

Weddle I'm still unsure about, I think much of that relates to his lack of fixed position, I guess if he's an onballer he could surprise but I'm still getting tweener vibes, probably tracks in a similar manner to Josh Battle.

Weddle they think will be a full time mid. May even start on a wing, his running is that good they have no doubt he can do the required running of a modern day wing.

That’s why I don’t have them finishing last this year like so many. They’re building a decent list Hawthorn. Could sort of see the roots of it last year and now they’ve added to it. Young ? Yes. But good young.

Only Mitchell can stuff it up.
