I'm tipping in 2004 BF posters were saying "the list is flimsy with the exception of Crawford, Mitchell, Hodge. But they'll probably be better next year as they'll get a compensation pick as well as a high draft pick."
Hawthorn had only 4 wins for the season (so the list was pretty crap) but already has some high draft picks and potential and knew they would get some more that year.
And yes, the description is very close to what Ross Lyon has done, what makes you think it can't happen at Hawthorn if it's already happened at two other clubs who both went within a match of a premiership? All the key people besides Clarkson have moved on.

I'd say the admin now produces at least 50% better outcomes for a given raw talent than in 2005
The fitness staff are the same Ratten remains. Newman is still unbeaten at box hill despite hawthorn raiding its talent. No reason to be gloomy
Also Hawks fans were equally deluded about our chances through 2008. No one gave us a hope. Maybe even less hope than port 2007
We believed. Oh how we believed
