We are gonna finish in the bottom 3 for the next 2 or 3 seasons so we might as well trade experienced players for unproven kids in a pathetic weak draft in the hope that they are gonna be superstars.
And in 3 years time when Everitt,Crawford,Smith,Lekkas,Barker etc are gone these kids are gonna be guns who will replace them, there is no doubt about that

.
For me the club is playing a very risky game not only on the field but off the field. Our club has supporters have been paying for memberships and getting great numbers for years now with no return. The football department are playing with fire if they think that supporters are going to continue to cough up good money for no results for the next 2 or 3 years ONCE AGAIN.
This is very dangerous and pretty much a hit or miss situation, we might end up with 2 or 3 guns from this draft to go along with Buddy,Ruff and Lewis or we could end up with 3 more lemons similiur to Luke Brennan,Daniel Elstone and Rick Ladson now wouldnt that be great we could really build a side around them sort of footballers.
Is it just me or do i see us not being that FAR off with the list we have now??? I have no problems trading Hay away but why not give Freo our 2nd rounder and get Polak. And why cant we deal for player - player trades?? all we need to do is get a descent big man someone who is a bit more mature (Toby Thurstans type) to throw in with Williams,Franklin,Dixon and Barker along with our first couple of priority picks and we have the makings of a descent side.
We have Everitt - Hodge - Mitchell - Crawford as the on ballers with Bateman and Lonie (who is improving) on the wings and blokes like Lewis and Smith running off the backline. We can throw Thurstans at CHF for our big man target with Franklin being the 2nd tall with Williams,Barker,Boyle and Dixon all rotating through the forward line.
Think about it we would have many positions covered, our backline is strong, on ball is top notch and we have an improving forward line with a provem goal kicker and a few big blokes.
Im just saying i think the club think we are alot further off than what we actually are, and trading for all these draft picks is very dangerous stuff.
I actually want to see results in my lifetime, im sick of seeing Hawthorn at the bottom of the ladder its getting quite annoying.
