Thanks Mantis.
Not sure if anyone saw this article written in March.
From a stats point of view, points to the Hawks as being 2012 premiers, talks about their draft history and strategy. Fortuitous. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-new...229-1u3go.html

Agreed, although one thing about Webberley is he knows how to use the football. Just doesn't get it often enough.

A poster mentioned that we are eyeing off a player form one of the franchises (according to Jason McCartney). I would not be surprised if it is Hoskin Elliott as he still has not signed from what I can gather.
Makes sense to get a player back from them, can play a bit as well!
GWS signes 8 players according to the AFL website, he is not in that group.

No idea about either myself.
Browne - we have enough of his type
Webberly - had the odd good game, but personally I'd rather upgrade JJ than take Webberly.
Of course, I struggle to be objective when discussing JJ - I really like the kid and think he'll develop well for us

I'd be happy to get H-E, the type of player we lack on the list

Same here. Seen both a few times. Honest toilers; Browne, especially, is spud-like. At this point of team development, we're better off drafting good kids and teaching them how to play than trading for other clubs' discards and hoping we can teach them how to play better.

A snippet on this player above. Lightly built, but a good long kick.
Some other vision on YT.
Sort of reminds me of Fletcher Roberts.

Happy to part with either draft pick to make this happen. Perfect selection for our needs

He would have signed a two year deal maybe even a 3 year deal.
GC players are the ones starting to come out of contract

What is it about Hoskin-Elliot? To me he just looks like a bean pole version of Cale Morton. I, for one, would not want to give up our first round picks for him. Maybe I'm not watching enough games, but has he actually done anything this year?

I'm Not saying give up a first round pick I have no idea what deal it would take to get him I just think he has huge potential and if he was interested in coming to us I would love to see him.
Maybe trades , Minson for example if he has made up his mind he is going I would take that.

Haven't seen much of him either, but what I did see didn't impress me a great deal. Agree he looked similar to Morton.
