I reckon Hawthorn can be the next powerhouse team in the AFL with its youth policy allistair clarkson has bought believe to hes players. The players to watch in 2006 is:
Clinton Young = just has to work in the gym but superstar in the making
Jarrad Roughead = what can i say superstar in the making
Lance Franklin = superstar writen all over him
Robert Campbell = just needs game time superstar as well
Ruory Kirkby = rookie list player but ginuwine full forward
Jordon Lewis = superstar in the making
Chance Bateman = injury free can prove to the AFL what he can actually do
Josh Thurgood = Just needs gym time can be a key player down back 4 hawks
Brad Swell = Next Biggest Tagger in the AFL superstar

I think we'll improve to be a finals side in two years.. powerhouse is a bit much.

I think our young list is extremely promisingly and exciting, but how can you predict how they will develop? I'm optimistic for sure, but powerhouse... not so sure.

Are there any players on the Hawks list that aren't going to be superstars?

Just for a bit of perspective, the Bulldogs only just clicked this year and the main players behind their resurgence were all drafted in 1999 & 2000, they've just played their 4th or 5th season. If you think the Hawks are going to be finalists in only 2 years, then you're dreaming.

I love your enthusiasm and I'm pretty happy also with the young list we have, but threads like these only open us up for abuse. Plenty of teams have had good young talent over the years and done nothing with it, and it is still a long road ahead of us.
PS. Swap Tim Boyle or Robbie Campbell in that list.

Powerhouse that's a massive call but we'll be a fine team for sure. Bulldogs are the next big thing and Hawthorn after that a couple years down the track. Richmond have the chance but may struggle next season. The Tigers need to get rid of the players like Stafford, Tivendale and other older players (big calls I know) . They havent't really started rebuilding fully or fully going for the premiership. Theyre caught in two minds and it looks like they wont be able to win a premiership until they play more of their younger guys/.
