Squiggle tips Demons at 77% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
What's he on this season $1.3m or is it up to $1.5m. Either way it is a great opportunity for opposition clubs to raid your depth, much like the swans did with JK3.
Newman a star is a real stretch....
All the talent in the world and I think contract negotiations are already in progress. I love the way he plays!We could chase cockatoo who is out of contract.
He body does let him down obviously
I’d like to see the 2021 or 2022 premiership side mapped out
Who on the list is in it, and who do we just churn out
I remember about 2006 some journal did a hawks 2009 flag side , obviously won in 2008
I hope the club is planning ruthlessly and cut those who won’t make it

Good exercise to do over this year of discontent. In his probable legacy year I wonder whether Horse has given thought to this exercise.
Four of the oldsters will go this year. Of the current seniors, Buddy will be an impact player in limited minutes, Rampe will still be there while JPK will have gone and Parker/Sinkers/Reid will have been traded or fringe.
Of others on our list only the following would be definite party of Premiership tilts in 21 and 22.
Florent, Haycart, papley, Dawson, Allir, McCartin, Rowbottom, Blakey, Ling, McInerney, Hewett, Lloyd
If you look at it from a 2021/2022 perspective, we have nothing to panic about, because we have as much young talent on the list that will be entering their primes around this time as any other club in the competition. But it's a matter of who will be around them and ensuring they become more than just a good team but one that can really succeed and capitalise on that talent.
Eg. by then Parker will be a veteran, will he still be a lead-by-example veteran like JPK or a liability veteran like Jack? (Early signs suggest the latter)
Buddy will be gone or very close to, will we have a star forward who can kick 60+ goals reliably in Buddy's absence? (Early signs, with Blakey talked up as a midfielder and McCartin being the best key defender of all time, suggests no.)
This is why we need to capitalise on the trade period now. Get some solid experienced players, maybe a key forward and a star mid, in that 23-26 year old range now so they will still be at their peaks when the youngsters on our list catch up and enter their own primes. We manage that, and I think we have a real team to look forward to in a few years. Just depends whose coaching it..
McCartin being the best key defender of all time
Reckon you’re missing Heeney, Mills and Jones from that list.
We have some great kids
Odds suggest they won’t all make it or stay/ some player similar spots or don’t feel a need
There’s players to bring in from elsewhere who could be key parts
I think the main one to build around is Heeney in the middle/fwd , then maybe a mccartin, Blakey as well
Yep Heeney is the most talented player on our list bar none (sorry Bud)
I also think if he, Florent, Aliir and Hayward all reach their full potential, we will be a contender regardless of who we do or don't bring in. I think they are the four who just have something special as opposed to say Hewett or Mills who I think will just be good, reliable role players within the team.
I think we need a ruckman long term
Sinclair might last. Not sure why we extended Naismith, he better be good going forward
