On Saturday they introduced Rupert Wills into the 22 and he played well for
his maiden game
Looking at his body stats at 191cm and 89kg [D.O.B 20/5/93] he may be the
football size clubs are keen on like Dangerfield 189/92 D.O.B 5/5/90
That said Rupert and Patrick identical but separated by time/experience in the game.
We have if the wraps are true on his potential a simalar size Matt Scharenberg 191/85/D.O.B 18/9/95.
Medium bigs with pace and grunt---will this be the model of choice

Yes. Should steer clear of the Garry Ablett, Sam Mitchell, Boomer Harvey, Libbas, and Eddie Betts types.
I'd suggest we pick the best player available. What ever the size. There is a new concept!
Trade for needs or specific roles. |

If you listen to Dekka that has been his recruiting strategy ( best player available )for a long time.
Hence we have a team of poor kicks,
Hawthorn rarely if ever draft poor kicks.
Jono Marsh is a great example.
Went late in the draft probably because he is a butcher of the ball.
No doubt, he has the X factor and has other great attributes.
I am sure Dekka picked him up because he was the best available.
Not sure Hawthorn would have picked him.
Remains to be seen whether Dekka is on a winner with his strategy.
Our 2010 team had a third of the players recruited by Judkins.
This current team is owned by Dekka.

^If they can't kick well, then they're probably not the best available. It is dependent on your weighting of different skills in the assessment.
I too have serious doubts about Jono Marsh only becuase his kicking is so inaccurate. He misses still targets 30m away by 10m. |

I'm not sure Scharenberg is a grunt player. Those who know more about him than me have likened him to a Pendles type, with great vision and decision-making.
Ultimately, I think one can get too fixated with player types and overlook a champion player, because they don't fit the perfect template. Hawthorn's Mitchell struggled to get drafted to the Hawks because at the time clubs were looking for 'Kouta types' - big bodied midfielders. With Wills, Crisp and Pendles, we've potentially got 3 big bodied mids, but of those, only Wills is a true beast. |
