If we can convince Himmelberg and Doedee to join as well as another top 3 pick in the draft (as well as a fit and firing Mitch Lewis) we would turn these close losses into easy wins next year.
Not convinced we need Parish, key position players would turn this team around immediately with the amount of clearances we are producing

Are you thinking a salary dump situation to snag some teams 1st rounder ala Bowes / Geelong trade?
He should be our psd threat
Even more reason for him to back to WA, be close to family.
Or, we now have a genuine go.
Interesting.
Does not mean we do nothing and delay a year.

Who gets us a 1st in trade? Or an early 2nd and we can swap 2 x 2nds for a 1st ?

He’s a big body that can play on the power forwards and, most importantly, free up Sicily to play his true position as the 3rd tall.
We need another big bodied defender to play alongside Blanck. I was hoping Jeka would be that player, but I’m not sure if that will eventuate.

We have got to get another.

An average defender from the worst and most heavily scored against club in the league for half a decade.
Have you seen what tall forwards have done to North in the 2 games he's played? Daniher kicked 5.3 and King just kicked 5. Blanck, Frost, Sicily and a developing DGB is plenty without needing to throw McKay 500k a year more than he deserves.

Doedee is a hawks fan too
Not spending money is better than overpaying for average players.
If no one fits the bill, start front loading some contract upgrades and consider short term “veterans for hire” with late pick trades than can help teach the kids.

I love CJ but I feel he’d be a player that would attract a first rounder that we could also potentially manage without. Would happily keep him ofcourse but you do have to give to get, could be an option if we do really want a second first rounder.
Trading CJ would have a bigger fall-out than when we traded croad.

I don't understand this comment. Can you explain to me why he's Bambi? Is this like when Luke Darcy continues to mention how athletic he is???

Trading out a young player with 4 years of development for a 10-18 pick is fraught, we might end up with a Lovell or Burton and lose a player who is just about to shine. As I have said before if you trade him then you will watch him become a star at Sydney or Melbourne.

The younger Hawks supporters absolutely love him.
You only need to turn up to a training session/ family day to see how they flock to him.
When I was in Hawks nest recently they were telling me the CJ badges and other stuff his face was on was the most popular.
Totally. I love CJ and it would definitely be a risk. Not gonna get a first rounder for a player we want to delist though. Only other way is to try a salary dump deal or package other picks (and likely pay a premium). Just as we could get a Lovell, we could also get a star. That’s the gamble.

Let's remember, with Tassie coming in, they will be able to throw ridiculous big money to FA's , so, we can't wait too long for the perfect opportunity, our list management will be extremely cautious of that fact, so anyone who can play ' Tall' will definitely be in our target list.
Another player who plays tall in either frwd or back will straighten us right up and give flexibility to use guys like Sicily in other positions. The flow on effect is really important.

Getting another 1st rounder won't be easy but you by no means sell the farm trying to get one. The only way we should be entertaining anything of the kind is in a salary dump.
Salary dump definitely the preferred option in my mind.
Reckon gws will be hoping to offload some cap, and maybe freo too.
Doubt afl house will be allowing it like theyndid with the cats though
