2021 Draft Thread

[TigerForce]

Is anyone confident that Mitchell knows what he’s doing with that club, their game plan and their entire list (not just Ward and Butler) at the moment though ?

Only that spoilt brat Cornhole does. Seems to be in love with him.

Vanilla. Especially Ward.

There are always a few highly rated kids who aren't as good as popular opinion has them. In 2021 that included Ward and Hobbs for me.

You were doing a bit of flip flopping on Ward at the time if I remember correctly. One moment you liked him, the next not so much.

Players and our opinions of them evolve through their draft year. By November I was off him. And Hobbs:

Ward and Hobbs?
As a double act

I'm not in love with either, especially Ward.

Yeah, but this as well. It’s ok. I’ll defer to your last opinion. No problem. Me, I’m sticking fat (now there’s a boring cliche) and say that Ward will still be ok. Hobbs also.

If pick 2's up for grabs we're easily best-positioned to get it. I like Ward a lot, but I like Callaghan even more. 189cm, very fast, evasive, composed, great left foot, strong overhead. Could start on a flank or wing, ends up in the middle.

Well, I was right to prefer Bo Callaghan, no matter how many of his teammates went to his 21st.

But Mitchell projects as a problem. Even my old girl’s brother and family who are avid Hawthorn fans can’t stand him - reckon he’s a conceited smart arse. They’ve met him many times and predicted he’d be a disaster when he was appointed.

Just shows that sometimes the pleb in the street has a fair handle on things, unlike many of the boffins in head offices or the meedjia experts. Miracles may still somehow occur, but I reckon Mitchell's a fair chance to set Hawforn back for the entire time he's in charge. Always thought there was something not quite right about his leadership when only three years in and in the prime of his career and as a premiership captain he relinquished / was moved sideways from the captaincy job for Podgey Hodgey.
Reckon there might also be something dodgy about a bloke who calls his kid Smith in honour of his favourite actor.

Yeah, what’s going on there ? VFL again.

Dunno. Let's get him. We can guarantee him a game.

Kane Cornes thinks he is a genius.

Bit soft. Tries to play like Nathan Buckley but is more like Ryan Houlihan.

Dosent he thinks Scott's shitt dosent stink too??

To be fair, nobody would be better placed to know.

Gerard Whateley knows what it tastes like.

He’s a professional. Always goes that extra yard.

Soligo is much better than any of Banks/Sonsie/Clark. Hopefully our recruiting improves under Toce.
