With a lot of talk about attracting/developing elite midfielders to the Hawks, it doesn't seem to be the way we play.
Would the Fyfe's etc do as well, and be dominant players in the Hawthorn structure, or would they be valuable additions, but appear less dominant due to the way we play?

Great post, jkb!
The fact is that, in Hodge, Mitch & Burgoyne, we have three Hall of Fame midfielders who play miscellaneous roles around the ground. They go into centre bounces when required, but otherwise have defensive and attacking jobs, which are crucial to our structure.
Midfielders like Selwood, Fyfe, Dangerfield, Pendlebury etc are at every centre bounce they can because they need to be for their clubs. As a result, they have more posessions, more votes, more notice, more wear & tear.
I don't know whether they would adapt to playing for us: Fyfe playing at half back?
