What are you then, because you don't support Richmond.

I only way i can describe Pattison is that he is a ruckman version of Gaspar.

I don't think he's necessarily a Hawthorn supporter. Franklin's manager possibly.blaisee said:Turbo Tiger said:

At the end of 2004 Hawthorns list was deplorable when it came to KPP talent. We had Dutchy Holland and Croad, and Dutchy's shoulders had been stuffed for three or more years, apart from him, we had no KP youngsters coming through.
When pick 2 came our way, we did what we needed to do, and that was take the most fancied young KP player in the draft, Roughead.
I don't for a second believe we took Roughead only to try and pip Richmond or any other club from getting him. It was purely on a needs basis. Of course, when Franklin was still there at 5 we took him also. And hence we had come away from the draft with two KP players, two players that our list was screaming out for. As it's no coincidence that they debuted almost instantly and have played almost every game when fit since they were drafted.
I have to say, that when I hear this 'club x' took 'player A' at 2 knowing that 'club y wanted 'player A' at 4 pick and that they could get 'player B' at pick 5, I just chuckle. I'm sure they go through all sorts of scenarios in the hours up until the draft, but I don't belive they would change their drafting of their first pick just to suite their second pick. First pick must always be 'best possible' player.linuscambridge said:

There is no doubt Hawthorn picked Roughy because he was the best available option.
But they planned and epected Richmond to take Franklin (1 mid and 1 KPP) so were hopeful of getting Tambling at pick 5.
Hawthorn was disappointed that we took Tambling over Buddy as they also wanted Tambling and would have done the exact same thing we did.

Personally, I like Pattison, he seems like a great kid and the sort of bloke that you would want around your club. I just can't figure out the reasoning behind his selection.
If you wanted a ruckman then even the casual draft observers like myself thought that Wood was the best pick at that point of the draft. If you wanted a key position player, I am not so sure where Patto is going to fit into the side. He has excellent hands and can take a grab with the best of them, but his kicking is terrible so would you want him up forward? That just leaves CHB for a bloke of his dimensions and I really don't think he has the speed over the first 10 meters to take on the modern CHF.
So that leaves him back in the ruck, and given a choice over Patto or Wood as a ruckman, then and now I would have taken Wood.

There are a few rational PRE posters who will well admit that Buddy has shown a lot more than Tambling at this stage, but who would you take out of Roughhead and Tambling is a much more interesting question??

Re: I thought Ritchie Tambling was ok. [Merged]
I hate Flankling, Linus. Did at the time of the U18 carnival. Still do. So I'm hardly rational on the topic. :crazy
I have always thought that he is a small. And as a small forward I think he's excelled. But that's the thing about small forwards, they usually come on early and fade early. Unless they find another position.
I was pretty keen on Roughy at the time but was hoping we'd jag Deledio and Bling. So there's my bias.
I haven't given up on Bling at all. Looks a very immature type even now and I think he'll develop over the next few years so I'd still have him ahead of Roughead because I think he is more likely to become a game breaker. And we don't got no smalls who can get a kick.
Roughead looks immature too but he's kept filling out. Geez he looks very cumbersome at times now when he moves. But I wouldn't give up on him yet. If he can just start crashing some packs, they'll soon get out of the way for him. Just a baby now.

Honestly, have a look at our list circa 2004, then tell me we were disappointed to grab two KPP's.
You say Hawthorn wanted this, and hawthorn were disappointed about that, but how do you know? Because someone else wrote it ona internbet forum?benny_furs said:
