Great article Daniel,

I agree with Mackenzie, shows genuine glimpses of great awareness and footy IQ and the thought of him consistently putting that together is exciting! I’d love Sicily to be the ‘floating’ defender as I think he reads the play so well and sets up so much for us with his elite kicking… but I’m actually really optimistic about Morrison! Although I’m curious about McCabe and hope he gets his shot soon and becomes great, I think Morrison has so much potential. If he took his already reliable and solid games to the next level then that already makes us better! He’s been in the system a while, seems to have some good footy IQ and rarely makes poor choices but just doesn’t seem to amass much and therefore I think gets overlooked! What are your thoughts about Harry?

Thanks so much for your feedback and support mate.

Harry has proven me wrong more than most on the Hawks list. I’ve never been a massive wrap for him outside of thinking he would be a solid soldier. I think he is the perfect 20-25 guy on your list. You would hope he only has to play 10 games a season. Like Whitecross in that way.

Thanks Danny. A good read

Where do you play James Sicily for max. damage is a great problem to have. 😂

Very positive on Will McCabe. Looking forward to his debut at some point.

It was my biggest question tbh, Sicily can play anywhere. I’d suggest forward will likely give us the best ROI, especially early in the season with Dear and Lewis out.

Don't be too harsh Ollie, it was an enjoyable and thought provoking read.

I think you could add Meek - opportunity to cement his spot as the number one ruck and one of the best handful in the competition and Ginnivan - opportunity back up what was his best season to date. Alot of our improvement last year came from big PB seasons from Meeky, Ginni and Massimo and we really need their 2024 seasons to be building blocks for improvement in season 2025 rather than flashes in the pan.

Meek is a great shout Stuart, both he and Ginnivan have an opportunity to consolidate their standings in the competition and potentially even elevate their respective levels.

Thanks for the kind works and positive feedback as usual, it’s always appreciated.

If you are going to write for a paying audience, please invest in something like Grammarly to pick up the spelling and grammatical errors. Writing “bein2g” in the first paragraph doesn’t help your analysis.

Thanks for the feedback, Ollie. Everything is fixed now. I hope the grammatical error didn't detract too much from the article's intent for you.
