Pretty much confirmed Geelong now. All those Geelong retirings will make way.
I reckon they will slide further.

Cats problem for the last couple of years has been the second key forward to help Tomahawk. Mitch Clarke didnt work this year....Lachie Henderson may next yearStokes, Kelly, maybe Johnson, Enright then Bartel to retire. Will be interesting to see how they go, especially with the Hawks approaching a similar type scenario.
If they grab Danger; they will have Selwood, Duncan and the emerging Cam Guthrie going through the midfield. Not too bad a start on the midfield regeneration.
That back line is getting hammered though.Stokes, Kelly, maybe Johnson, Enright then Bartel to retire. Will be interesting to see how they go, especially with the Hawks approaching a similar type scenario.

Exactly. We want people who want to be here because they want success.Still think we need the big body of Paddy. It is hard to believe that a footballer with the obvious competitive urges of this lad would accept the clear lack of any prospect of finals action in his footy lifetime by heading down to the cattery. They are a great club now completely buggered for the foreseeable future. Frankly if he does go there, then he is not the bloke we wanted. We want players hungry for flags, not the convenience of a short drive to Moggs Creek.
Not sure about BennelThey can have Paddy. Apparently the Hawks are into Bennell. I know all the talk is Treloar to Collingwood but I would love him in the brown and gold.
Not sure about Bennel
Chequered past, and just not big enough. He is 15 kg lighter than Paddy, and what we need is a replacement for our big bodied mids who are over 30 and in their twilight.

We want players hungry for flags, not the convenience of a short drive to Moggs Creek, and a hugh payday. One ex plays in Sin City for exactly that reason.
On a side note, I wonder how Danger and Duckwood will get on.
?
Sure, solid midfield. But not even as good as the one Dangerfield is leaving. Geelong's forward line is nowhere near as dangerous as Adelaide's and Geelong's defence is suspect.Stokes, Kelly, maybe Johnson, Enright then Bartel to retire.

Good mids, but they will leak
Agree with this, can smell a godfather offer coming from Jackson & co. Has close ties to Vince & Goodwin as well.Will be a Dee.
I'm happy with just one of the good midfielders mentioned in this thread - not fussed which one - so long as they want to play for us and the club reckons they are a good fit
Heard from a good source that Chad Wingard is going to the Hawks. He is contracted to Port for 2016 but the source indicated that the contract would be "paid out", whatever that means. Mentioned huge figures that he would be paid at Hawthorn. Is he the big gun that you are getting next year or will it be in 2017?? Any Hawkers heard this one?I have complete faith in the club.
At the end of 2007 Carlton gave up Josh Kennedy, pick 3 & pick 20 and $1m a year to secure Chris Judd. Meanwhile at the end of 2010 Hawthorn quietly secured Shaun Burgoyne with a couple of late first round picks.
The Hawks have a pretty good track record of finding great talent without giving up the farm. For that reason the Hawks will attract a gun, but unlikely Paddy Dangerfield.
I read on the AFL page that Selwood is wishing to stay with West Coast?Stokes, Kelly, maybe Johnson, Enright then Bartel to retire. Will be interesting to see how they go, especially with the Hawks approaching a similar type scenario.
