yes, though i feel clarko dragged it on one more year than us

FA needs to start now i feel with a pair of 24 year olds.
Yeah, that's true. Clarkson did drag it out another year compared to us as he stayed until 6 years after the Hawks' last flag. Whereas Dimma quit 3 years after our last premiership and we started our rebuild proper really only this year 5 years since the 2020 flag.

It would be great to get some young FA to help accelerate the rebuild, but IMO we won't attract too much interest until we look like rising up the ladder in a couple of years time.

Yep, everyone with an opposing view to you is moronic. You admit to knowing nothing about him and go on a rant saying its hard to have any sympathy..and that hes a stupid american idiot.

Awesome. Stay classy.

Dude is dead, murdered in front of his wife and kid. Find some sympathy in that and be quiet the next time someone on the opposing side of politics dies in the most terrible way.

I must be the only person who had never heard of him. Mind you I pay little attention to these moronic foreign Yanks. Even more so, I can't stand so-called "influencers" (talk about an Orwellian term btw). Imagine being a sheep whose worldview is "influenced" from these attention-seeking money-grubby grifters with no qualifications nor expertise in anything :facepalm

Anyway, I see this guy was your typical evangelical religious nutjob you get in America. Another hypocrite who dressed up his political conservatism and culture war crap as "Christianity" (I must have missed where in the Bible it says Je-sus was a political conservative who loved guns and hated people who were born different ::) ).

Anyway, this little 'gem' of his stood out:

"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.

Ironic.

Now, should someone be targeted and murdered, of course not. It's evil, barbaric, and ultimately self-destructive as it becomes tit-for-tat violence with reprisal after reprisal. Just a form of gangster culture. But this overtly toxic American culture enables such evil acts and does nothing to reduce them let alone prevent them. And when you have these grifters promoting and exploiting this deranged BS for political fame and profit, it's hard to have sympathy when they end up a victim of it. Stupid Yankee idiots!

Thankfully, we Aussies rejected such foreign toxic cultural war crap in large numbers at the last election. Helps that we don't have this idiotic gun culture and further to that we're approaching a majority who are non-religious, so we aren't so gullible. Which begs the question as to why this guy is being made such a big deal of here in Australia's media when he had nothing to do with Australia. Our pathetic out of touch media pandering once again to the tiny minority fringe ::).

W Day pick 13
watson pick 5
newcombe rookie
impey pick 33
hardwick 44

this club has always traded well. They lost buddy and many thought the world was going to end. Yet they won more flags without him.

Not a bad analogy at all.

The trick is not becoming devoid of experienced players all together. Another stumbling block for us is our mid tier are so ordinary.

If there is a club we can learn from building our list up, it's Hawthorn.

Like or hate it, their rebuild has been nothing short of impressive.

Lessons learnt in that they got it wrong in drafting in Omeara, Wingard and Mitchell for a quick tilt after their dynasty. Like or hate it, this model backs up the idea of shopping Hopper and Taranto around for younger players currency. Hawks window is now open again and Mitchell, Wingard and Omeara are all finished. Our next tilt is so unlikely to involve Hopper or Taranto, at least one of them should be shopped around, id take a high 2nd round pick for Hopper. We can keep Tim but I'd certainly take a decent package of picks or a decent young player swap for him.

Richmond Rant / Re: Seth Campbell [merged]

Don’t think Seth is a mid. Might be able to rotate occasionally but he’s best around goals imo. Especially high half forward where he can use his pace.

Not everyone has to be turned into a mid

Lalor Smillie Hotton and Grlj and Cumming are hopefully are midfielders going fwd

If they can live up to potential it’s the best midfield from 2028 onwards

Big if of course but it has everything. Contested beasts, skills, goal kicking, aggression, evasion, agility, X factor

Grlj and Cumming are both behind CDT, Duursma, Sharp and Lindsay in most phantom drafts I’ve seen so doesn’t look like we’d get either if we keep our current picks.

I disagree but even if they are we have an abundance of talls and at some stage we have to back in what we have.
Grlj suits us to a tee and so does Cumming. At pick 6 or 7 Grlj in front of a tall we don't really need. Duursma and Sharp at this point in time simply won't be available to us and while Lindsay would be a good get addressing serious needs i prefer a couple of others.

Just need a pick at around 15 to get a Jacob Farrow or X Taylor theres a pile of hb and wings that would suit us to a tee that are worth taking.
