Anyway, back to the game. I expect the Hawks to take it right to the Dockers until late into there 3rd quarter, and then pull on the handbrake.

The AFL is well aware of their tactics. 

At the start of the year Caroline Wilson reported the AFL were filthy with Hawthorn for exiting all their experience last year.  To name a few:  O'Meara, Mitchell, McElvoy, Dunstan etc thousands of games experience.   She even mentioned that evil word: priority pick. She said no chance they will get one given their deliberate list decimation.

Not long after, one of the co-hosts of a Dunstall program mentioned that evil word.  He grinned.

It isn't just pick 1 they want, a priority pick is their end game, if not this year then next.

They have learnt nothing from the wasted years and culture destruction at the dees and blues 10 years ago from tanking. 

Regardless of what Hawks do we will still end up with pick 5-7 from Freo or if we are very lucky #4.  And whatever pick we get I'm confident we will get the player we want at the top of the draft. 

Hawthorn are one of the most arrogant clubs around. They think they can tank and make it work (exhibit A, the start of Clarkson's journey). They probably think Melbourne and Carlton are just inept clubs that couldn't tank as well as them for the end result of 4 flags in 8 years.

Yes he does, but if they bring in that bloke McDonald, I think it was, who had 100 possessions against Casey, the ball will live in their forward line.

Picked it.

Just my opinion, but Jackson is still my #1 pick if the 2019 draft were re-done now.

Absolutely no way is he's still number 1 lol

By your reckoning Sam De Koning should be number 1 because he's a premiership player and has higher ceiling? Played CHB for a premiership team which is just as hard as playing ruck.

He's absolutely no way ahead of Kozzie Pickett as a starting point.

Chad Warner up from 39. What a steal.

Kosi could be higher given 100 goals and defensive pressure.

Jackson has a high ceiling and may or may not get there. Serong, Anderson, Warner are consistent performers now so are rightly ranked higher at this stage.

If Greene played for a good side he’d be number one. He is a gun. Anderson is also really really good. We are just starting to see what he can do. 
On the contrary if Jackson ended up at GC nobody would ever speak of him again.  Jackson was very lucky to get to the right club at the right time. We really fast tracked his development and he was lucky to play under Gawn and with one of the best midfielders going around.

I think on known form I would have him around 7-8 and you could make an argument he would be last on that list.

Not a truer word spoken on Demonland.

So Freo v the Tankers today. Should be interesting viewing.

Is there another game on today that I should be aware of? 😜

Most arrogant thing they did was include 2 flags in their 5 year plan back around 2018.

They genuinely believe they will always win flags on a regular basis.

Do we want the Tigers to win to go above freo, or are we really gunning for pick 1 and the Eagles to win?

I want Eagles to win for Hunty. We won’t get to pick 1. Hawks have it in the bag.

That would rely on Hawks losing to a WAFL side down in Launceston in a couple of weeks.

That would be the ultimate tank job.

If we make a GF and Cats are the opponent I would instruct the boys to somehow get Cameron out of the game early, legally of course!!!!

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
