I believe the Hawks tried to obtain this guy during trade week last year. After seeing this highlights package I hope we have another crack

Whitfield and O'Meara both signed until the end of 2016. Now here are some names that I'm interested in. They may be the future of their respective clubs but promise these guys are starting spot in 2015 and who knows. * Josh Thomas (Collingwood) * Jackson Thurlow (Geelong). Tassie boy to boot.

Not too many KPP's amongst them??? O'Brien, Gunston, Brand, Shoenmakers, Grimley, Spangher, Willsmore, Heatherly to name a few. I reckon that's enough when Frawley's name is mentioned in the same paragraph!

John Ralph has released an article in todays HS re free agency with the following caption in the first paragraph. The part I am most intrigued about (as Frawley is a no brainer) is who some of the ready to go midfielders are that we may be able to target and was wondering people's thoughts on...

Well said, thank you! I think Walker is the exact prototype we should be looking at. Stick him on a wing in our side and gee we look a different side. Putting a few things together of late I think that Grimley could be in our long term plans more than one of Bailey and Hale so I'm almost...

Anyone else keen on Andrew Walker in the Carlton Fire Sale that will take place come trade week? I'd love to see a bit of this from at least someone in a Hawks jumper occassionally.

Ideally yes. Did I read somewhere through the BF Hawks threads that we still have $500k left in our salary cap if we need it? While I'm on hypotheticals it would be nice to keep Buddy, lose Ellis + a possible retirement and get Cooney and Yarran. This would make us nigh on unstopable. Did I...

Just throwing a hypothetical out there folks... Should Buddy go to GWS would we all be happy with Cooney and Jack Watts sliding into our best 22? Must be a realistic chance should Bud decide to go...perhaps make us even stronger across the ground?

Welcome to Visy Mack Buddy. I hope you have lots of fun spending the ambasadorial money we now provide you to stay at the Hawthorn Football Club! For what it's worth...that's the way Buddy's Mack boots launch appeared to me yesterday. FYI - Mack make and sell trucks, not street shoes people!

This one is growing legs all the time. Will be as a free agent if at all.

And that same physically dominate team for the last 5 years that never got a mention was coached by his assistant....funny that

Hey Knightmare. From all of your posts and threads you seem to have massive wraps on Bontempelli. Do I sense a bit of man love there :-) Enjoying your threads as much as ever.

Trade him to Hawthorn and then we will have picks 2 (Roughead), 3 (Griffin), 5 (Buddy) and 7 (Lewis) from that draft :-)

As a side note to footy classified tonight did anyone else like what they saw on the list of our players 26yo and you ger who we have to build our list around for the next generation (should Buddy stay)? Franklin Roughead Rioli Gunston Bruest Birchall Lewis Still a pretty strong core there

Know something we don't perhaps Grizz ???? :-)

Watching footy classified and Caro mentioned that John Ralph categorically said on Fox Footy yesterday that Buddy will be at GWS next year. Who knows but lets not celebrate too much just yet. Im convinced that we need to move heaven and earth to keep him after what I saw at Etihad on Friday...

Dom Tyson was keen to get out of GWS after last season and Richmond chased him hard. Have there been any murmourings around for him still wanting out this year?

Hilarious :-)

Dom Sheed would be a good start

Couldn't have said this better myself. My thoughts to a tee. Regardless if Buddy stays or goes we need to find a way to work up the draft order and may have to make some calls on a few of the senior players. If Sewell and Guerra retire does that free up enough salary cap space for Dale Thomas?

Hey Knihtmare. Did you catch the Phantom Draft on today's episode of TAC Cup Future Stars? If so, what are your thoughts on the selections and their order? They had Dom Sheed going at Pick 5 and no Bontempelli in the first round. In your opinion do the Hawks have any hope of sneaking up the...

Ok I'm going to try to get this thread back on track. in an ideal world Buddy stays and we win the flag.....how do we upgrade our early picks to get amongst the better midfielders in the draft. I really do feel that it's now or never to get some elite midfield draftees into our club ready for...

Hey Knightmare....loving your work. A few questions to pick your brain. If you were A Hawks recruiter what would you be trying to accomplish in this years draft (try to be specific with potential draftee's if you can) in scenario a) Buddy stays and scenario b) Buddy leaves? Would you sit...

If Buddy goes we really need to have a crack at Dale Thomas as a free agent. I wonder if Andrew Walker could be enticed to leave Carlton for the Ricoh Centre?? If Buddy stays I really would like to see us trade our way up the draft order to stock pile the best midfielders available. KPP a...

Ok so I've just seen some clips of Kade Kolodjashnij's and really liked what I saw. The kid can play and seems to have great athleticism. After pretty much sitting out the first round of the draft over the last few years I'd love to see us have a crack at a mini rebuild come November. I guess...

We need to somehow upgrade our first pick and find a way to get Josh Kelly in the draft if Buddy stays. How would people feel about using our first pick and Tim O'Brien to get Josh Kelly....is it a realistic possibility in a Bulldogs trade for example? Of the established players I think Chris...

Hey Stratts...I've always said where there's smoke there's fire! Thought this little snippet from the age was interesting on the pick one front. Anyone else thinking Lachie Whitfield and Tom Boyd would be adequate compo for Buddy??? While Greater Western Sydney has yet to table its multi-million...

Ok so the national champs are now done and duster so we can be forgiven for turning one eye to the draft. Who are the guys we should be targeting? Any inside word as to whom we are closely monitoring? I personally would love to see us trade up to be in the mix for Aish, Sheed or Crouch.

So where's your proposal then??? Easy to criticise...not so easy to put up your own suggestions!
