I'm sure the recruiters are actually doing things but its a case of nothing happens till the big deals are done. Most of the better players have nominated other clubs, we can only change that perception by being competitive in 2017, we have to accept that players think we're dropping off a cliff.
Until we change that perception I'm not sure we'll attract any significant players until 2018 onwards.
Clubs are nominating Carlton, Pies, Dees, Tigers though, not sure ladder position is exactly a reason.

Maybe not

But i do agree players do not want to come to north unless its for an absurd amount of money or there a kid who's played hardly any games. We are seen to be a basket case going backwards quickly. And from all reports the club is giving out mixed messages where it thinks we are at which is scaring other players away. They probably know brad will be sacked mid contract at some point next year as well.

Even twitter isnt bothering talking up potential trades anymore.. I think everyone has given up on anything major happening for most clubs.

If the Hawks hadnt blown up this trade period so far would be one of the slowest in a while

There will be at least 20 trades left, would think plenty of principle agreements in place.
