It’s been a massive off season for us in terms of rejuvenating/turning over our list.
There’s been notable retirements, free agents brought in, depth traded away and players brought in via trades and the draft.

Here’s a list of the ins and outs just to refresh your memory;
OUT:
Brad Sewell (retired) - Midfielder
Kyle Cheney (traded) - Defender
Mitch Hallahan (traded) - Midfielder
Jordan Kelly (delisted) - Defender
Luke Lowden (traded) - Ruckman
Ben Ross (delisted) - Midfielder
Derick Wanganeen (delisted) - Utility
Dayle Garlett (delisted) - ********
IN:
James Frawley (free agent) - Defender
James O’Rourke (trade) - Midfielder
Daniel Howe (draft) - Defender (Midfielder?)
Tia Miles (draft) - Defender
Marc Pittonet (draft) - Ruckman
Jared Hardisty (rookie) - Midfielder
Jermaine Miller-Lewis (rookie) - Forward
Lachlan Langford (rookie) - Utility?

When we first started being linked to James Frawley during the middle of the season, a lot of people weren’t sold on the idea of bringing him in.
Whether that was due to likely having to overpay, the fact he wasn’t dominating in an abortion of a football team or better options to spend our Judascocainefcuk money on, I don’t know, but I’d say since he was officially brought in, the general feeling has been joy.
A few posters made it clear that the aim of the Hawthorn list management team was to bring in a talented young midfielder that could help players like Hill, Breust, Langford, Anderson and Woodward slowly take over from Burgoyne, Hodge, Mitchell, Sewell etc.
O’Rourke was the answer, and opinion seems to be split.
I think it’s a bargain, but we’ll have to wait a few years until we see the players taken around 19-30 in the draft perform in relation.
The loss of Sewell, Cheney, Hallahan and Lowden will effect our depth, but if senior players can perform the same as they have this year then the new additions should soften the blow and hopefully improve our best 22.
I’m excited about all of the new draftees, but in particular Marc Pittonet. Proper ruckman that was arguably the best performed in the draft.

I’d love to read the opinions of some experienced mock draftees like Knightmare Snoop Dog Chris25 Skippos on our recruitments, but also non Hawks supporters to get a different sort of biased view.
And mainly, please god, just bring on the 2015 season NOW!
