Will be interesting to see how they hold up this year now teams will have spent more time and energy preparing to combat the way Hawthorn play.

Hawks have plenty of elite kicking talent.

There's also a difference between no recognised elite talent and actually having none.
I'd argue hawks have some players with absolutely elite traits but it's not recognised as much yet or doesn't get focused on. Football industry is slow to come round on most things and normally lags behind moving off things as well so this is not surprising.
Same thing happens in reverse where a teams supporters, let's say Essendon fans, assume that their high end draft picks that have little to no exposed elite form assume that this is the player that will be the elite talent that propels them up the ladder.
