I was musing the position of the Hawks and the ongoing future of our estranged child Chad Wingard.
It would seem clear now, that Hawthorn by their own admission are finally going to rebuild by going to the draft and hence are many years away from contending again.
Further the master of seduction Alastair Clark who promised young Chad a glorious future will in all likelihood leave at the end of 2022 to be replaced by Sam Mitchell.
The question is , do we we have room in our hearts to do the trade with Hawthorn for Chad at the probable age of 29 (end 2022) , to finish the last 3-4 years of his career back at his spiritual home of Alberton.
I'm suggesting yes, provided the trade exchange value is favourable to us and he doesn't demand too many $$. He would offer value as a interim fix when Robbie retires in the next few years and it would be a fitting end to the story of our wayward son.
