That’s what I have heard.Have you heard that or a hunch? If they trade up, they must be confident that GWS aren't taking Callaghan
You are probably right.wont happen

Thanks.I think the gap between Knevitt's best & worst is sizeable whereas Bont always seemed to appear fluid. I think Bont was a natural on the run whereas Knevitt is more proppy. I'm struggling to see another role for Knevitt apart from the midfield, but he does have a turn of speed which is the reason he's not sitting alongside Roberts & Long. Definitely an all or nothing selection but I suppose when you are carrying five top 30 picks you can afford to roll the dice on one or two.
They might decide to leave together too. Have the brain surgeons thought of that?
I think there have been many players with questionable kicking that have become very good players specially when they have the assets knevitt does , Size speed and ability to find and extract the ball as well as being a good mark. Im a believe his kicking can be improved and he also offers an option up foward with his size and marking.I think the gap between Knevitt's best & worst is sizeable whereas Bont always seemed to appear fluid.

Hawks to trade up for Gold Coasts pick 3.
Chalk & cheese. Not even in the same league.Bully - how would you compare Knevitt's kicking to Bont's as a junior? From memory Bont was a bit untidy in that part of his game?
Pick 3, is that the GWS pick? Gets confusing with the father sons this year.Callaghan Smokie?
That would be the dreamThat's been said by Cal by memory but I'm not so sure we will pull the trigger on him at pick 7 (9). I still think he goes outside the top 10, now if we were able to snare Hobbs at 9 and Sinn at 17 wow! But perhaps unlikely to make it our 2nd first-rounder.

If it is, then the Hawks want Finn. If it’s later I’m thinking they want Andrew.
Not many 18 year olds qualify as “men” not now . Maybe in 1950 but unfortunately although kids grow up quicker they are more immature at 18 than any time in history IMO.the idea of pairing them with buddies is fine on your first day of Kinder,
but as men? seriously?
Great post. I didn’t grow up until I was in my 40”s. The world is full of men who are really boys. Fortunately you don’t really need to be a man to play football. Ask JDG, Toby Greene etc.Geez - I'll have a bite on this one.
I don't think boys of that age could be considered adult or men at all - only for the rarest of exceptions. Boys are emotionally incomplete - they have a lot of growing to do. Having someone you trust to help you along that path is really important (assuming good character, of course).
Having a mate along with you could help enormously to adjust to interstate life, life away from home. I moved interstate when I was 32 and wished for 2 years I could have a few more mates about - and I had my wife with me! Some one to have a laugh with, to confide in, to have a whinge to. At 18 I would have been lost.
I think it's good drafting strategy to bundle mates together - so long as you're getting the players you want / need.
No way I'd do it with high picks for the sake of it - they'd need to good players in their own right. But as a drafting consideration - certainly part of the mix.
I think so. If GWS take Andrew the offers will be coming thick and fast to GC.Callaghan Smokie?
Bont was already a smooth mover showing tons of class. The other bloke simply hasn’t shown the same level of silk. If any.Why?
Hasnt Motlop had some dud games this year ? Very outside and low stats.“November latest: Relentless inside midfielder Hobbs has been reportedly linked to the Tigers and they have also shown a keen interest in Ward, but the Northern Knights product may become a Hawk with the previous pick. Key forward Amiss is also in the mix and would address another glaring need. Goater would be difficult to resist if he fell to Richmond’s second selection, or will the the Tigers pounce on another Butler? As for their trio of picks in the 30s, Richmond has shown interest in crafty forward Motlop, while Bazzo could come into the equation as a tall defender.”
I see that as being good for SuperCoach over anything else. The Prospectus really needs to come back, i am assuming u were a fan of that each yr?AFL Draft Central Ranking points (average per match)

Need to view these numbers with some trepidation, some players have been playing seniors so naturally they will have inferior stats. In any case it's a good guide as to potential bargains down the order.
