Only 11 months to go!
Just noticed that Tomlinson has become good mates with the boys if Instagram is anything to go by #weliveinhope

Wow, you are keen.

Wow, you are keen.

If we start now, we can build up a groundswell

Due to no early draft pick, feel the club has already flagged that free agency is where we will be most active. Will land an A grade mid then.

With less (in-year) currency to do so. Will be interesting.

Should be able to trade back into the top 5 by sending four 6th round picks to Gold Coast or Brisbane for academy prospects.

Holy s**t the AFL invented a way to effect the classic "send four spuds to x for pick 4" trade. They DO read bigfooty!

FFS Josh Mahoney has done s**t all next trade period so far. He'd want to lift.

Melksham and lumumba have come in successive seasons
Wonder who the next scapegoat is off the ranks
Devon smith?

Devon Smith is a jet.

The goatee needs to go ... But otherwise I'd love to get him!

Fills our 1 GWS player quota a year as well

I was kinda drunk last night
I'm thinking I ment Toby Greene for the punch in the head factor

 

[KickLongTackleHard]

Mitch Robinson would complete the trifecta

Looks pretty settled at Brisbane ... maybe we could throw an AFL life line to Kyle Reimers ... he's the absolute pinnacle of punch in the head-ness for mine ...

Jamie Elliott says hello

 

[Proper Gander]

Reimers v Elliott. Excellent candidates for punchable but I think if I had a smorgasbord like that before me I would punch Elliott first. If I could trip Reimers at the same moment I would be well pleased though

Heard on the radio yesterday that GC suns are appointing co-captains this year in order to fast track their next leader. Tom Lynch and Dion Prestia named the likely counterparts to GAJ

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Given that we've already traded away our 2016 first rounder we ain't getting Prestia unless we trade away one of our better young players. I'm not too fussed at any rate.

Um, just a thought, can we trade our 2017 first rounder next year for Prestia?

I think the rule is no more than twice in the space of 4 years but not absolutely sure on that.

Ah yes, this is true.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

I just don't know if I'm sold on Prestia as being the A grade mid we want to trade in. There's plenty of talent coming through there for us now, particularly if we get Parish in too, and I'd rather be adding another mid who's a genuine PoD (pacey, elite kick, even if not a huge clearance player). Prestia is a jet no doubt but I guess it'll depend too on his exposed form in 2016 and how Brayshaw, Petracca, Harmes, etc, come on next year.

 

[Topkent]

How many pacey elite mids do the Hawks have?

Hill , smith and shiels?

All late pick ups , leg speed is overrated

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Our second rounder next year should be in the 25-28 range. I can see us trying to trade back into the first round by a) combining a player like Dawes or Grimes with that second rounder (this won't work) or b) trading Dawes, Grimes, other equivalent spuds for third rounders and then on-trading these third rounders along with second rounder for GWS/Sydney's first rounders (which should be later in the first round).

I doubt we'll be left out of the first round. Club has shown a strong "where there's a will, there's a way" spirit in recent years. I can even see us trading our 2017 first rounder to somehow get back into the first round of 2016 (if it doesn't go to Prestia). We want to be bringing in as many young guns as we possibly can in the next two drafts to go along with the very strong draft periods of 2012, 2013, and 2014 so they play together early and develop and peak together too.

 

[Demon 16]

I guarantee we will trade our 2017 pick for a player or 1st round pick next year.

That, plus a free agent should leave us well placed to start moving right up the ladder over the coming years.
