I hate saying this but I think we will do better outsourcing our drafting to GWS.
They don't make many mistakes but we too often just fritter our picks away on duds.

When I was a young child, I knew that I knew so much about so much.
Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.

GWS has lost their first round pick because of the Lachie Whitfield saga.
They have traded away their second round and third round picks last year.
But they do have our second round pick. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_AFL_draft
I would expect GWS to continue with their policy of trying to get an early pick in before they are forced to queue jump to secure their first academy player.
At the moment, they won't have enough draft point currency (about 700 points) to even make that academy pick unless they trade away quality.
Our Hawthorn's first rounder may look very attractive to them if it will give them a pick ahead of their academy player.

Hawks just announced that JOM has injured his patella tendon again.
"It's a new injury, different to what he had before," he said, referring to the injury that kept him out of the 2015 and 2016 seasons when he played for Gold Coast.
That is on top of his recent bone bruising injury. So no JOM to the rescue for the Hawks this year (and maybe beyond).
Flying the World in comfort thanks to FF Points....
Round 14 wish list. Sometimes there's a conflict between what's best for our finals chances and what's best for our Hawk pick. This round looks great. Most games have a bearing on one or the other and not many conflicted outcomes.
ADELAIDE vs Hawthorn
Swans vs ESSENDON (not sure about this one but Bombers win likely to kill off Swans tilt)
Pies vs PORT (Port already 2 games plus % ahead of us)
LIONS vs Giants (unlikely but wouldn't it be good)
Dogs vs NORTH
Eagles vs DEMONS (tough one but a loss at home is likely to hurt WC more than an away loss for Dees)
GEELONG vs Freo
Tigers vs BLUES
SAINTS vs GC
I agree with all those hopefull winners Fidelis except I won't Freo to beat Geelong. Freo are only two games ahead of the Hawks with a percentage similar.

Same attitude here. Anything that puts distance between Hawks and those above them works for me. So Swans to beat the Bummers.

I reckon people were getting way ahead of themselves thinking it would be pick 2. It's pretty bunched up down that end of the ladder and each win or loss can have a big affect on positioning.
I reckon pick 3-6 looking likely. Their run home certainly remains tough.
