Fair enough. Big difference between not being sold and condeming the selection or saying they are no good.

Agree, best 22 has to consist of a fit Kreuzer.
We talk of Kennedy as a valued cog and his quarter last week and the glimpses I have seen are promising, he is young and hasn't played 50 games. Most put Willow in their best 22, < 50 games, Pickett < 50 games.
Hawks are still lucky enough to have senior players all over the ground which is a stronger environment to blood new players compared to having 10 players < 50 games in key positions.
Our starting midfield at times consists of Dow, SPS and either Cripps/ Murph/ Ed. I think a 66 game rebuild will look healthier when our recruits start knocking up around 66 games.

Exactly
I side will look very different at the end of 2019 when Weitering Marchbank Williamson Cuningham Dow Polson McKay Charlie O'Brien SPS Fisher Kennedy Pickett Garlett Silvagni Macreadie are ALL around inside the 20-60 game mark. That is 16 players and we have another big draft to go. It makes a massive difference. We are just so young and on top of that most of our "experienced" bodies aren't that good.
We are right in the middle of a real transition at the moment and we just have to maintain the path we are on

Contracts don't mean a whole lot these days, but Fish is signed on until the end of 2020.
Wouldn't expect to hear anything on that front until mid-next year at the earliest.

It would be more the fringe players we would have to worry about, players who are being kept out by developing players, ( Macreadie) If the younger players can see a light at the end of the tunnel they will hang around and this is why Bolts is so important and must remain a key figure.

59 pages of ranting and discussions, reckon it would barely reach 25 if we had won.
Hope it has been a cathartic process for everyone

He looked pretty shattered after the loss on Saturday. Hopefully he sticks around for many years to come.

say again?
Weitering up forward, Jones down back. Lamb defensive forward, Cuningham HB, Cripps forward. All the while pumping games into kids over the likes of Kerridge, Graham etc.
Clarkson hardly did anything innovative that the likes of us or Buckley for instance aren't. Hawks are just a better side.
Couldn't disagree more. Clarkson has the ability to make things happen and get the best out if what he has been given. Bit the bullett last year and turned things around very quickly.
As for Weitering he is a kid and should be settled in one role
Jones was played back & ruck by reserves out of desperation
Lamb has always been a defensive/small forward
Cuningham was a HBF as a junior and Cripps goes forward at times.

Yep 100% right. I'm probably a little guilty of setting high expectations this season and being bitterly disappointed at the GCS game result, but it's important to keep perspective on where we are at. It was never about this season. If we did something special and snuck into finals it would be just that, but it's certainly not a reasonable expectation. We are building a good side but it's never finished, and the core group going forward has still barely got a couple of years of AFL level experience.Exactly

Saturday was very disappointing. Effort was weak and we played poorly. However, in the bigger picture it doesn't mean a lot
Bit the bullet? They had a shiteload of injuries last year Soapyv . Helps when a lot of your senior players are guns .
