Hawthorn FC Draft Blog
2021 is the first time in 15 years that the Hawthorn FC has had back-to-back top 10 picks for the AFL draft two years in a row. This stunning figure is astonishing as the club had been one of the best teams in the competition for many years without bringing in any new fresh talent. As a result of Hawthorn winning premierships and finishing high up on the ladder most seasons apart from the last 3 years, this resulted in them not receiving a good draft pick and had late draft picks where its difficulty to draft elite talent. Hawthorn for the most part opted to trade its reasonable draft picks to bring in already established stars of the competition to help them maintain their competitiveness as one of the leagues best teams, however these players began to get old in the last 5 years, hence the to rebuild the team through young fresh talent and hitting the extremely hyped draft this year in 2021 to secure several young exciting future superstars.
Hawthorn’s current picks in the 2021 draft are 5, 21, 24, 59, 65, and 81 in which the club strongly expect to draft at least one elite player with the pick 5 selection, however, picks 21 and 24 are also great draft picks to have at our disposal to continue to bring in young talent who can reform Hawthorn’s AFL team and have an immediate impact.
In recent history, top 10 draft picks prove to be pivotal for clubs to have at their disposal and has worked for the Hawthorn FC. Three of Hawthorn’s top 10 draft picks went on to become 4-time premiership players who are Luke Hodge, Jarryd Roughead, and Jordan Lewis. Many other players also went on to become Hawthorn superstars such as Lance Franklin who won 2 premierships for the club before moving to Sydney as he as almost kicked 1000 goals in his unbelievable career and is considered to be at least a top 10 player ever.
This statistics emphasis the importance of the need for the Hawthorn FC to have strong selections at the draft most seasons so they can continue to bring in young talent to help the progress and as history suggests becoming superstar players of the competition and premiership players.
Hawthorn drafted a player inside the top 10 last season Denver Grainger-Barras and showed some glimpses of class and what is to come in the future as he looks like he will be a super player and the club and fans are extremely excited for him to receive more game time and to showcase his talent next season as his first season was plagued by injury.
