What's going on Hawthorn fans?
Hodge, Mitchell, Lake, Burgoyne, Lewis, Gibson are about to retire. I wouldn't be surprised a few of them announce their retirement at the end of the year. Given they are all clearly still their best players, what are Hawthorn going to do here?
It's not as if they have a lot of room to bring in free agents given they have committed to Frawley (550k?) and signed up a host of others like Roughead, Gunston, Breust, Rioli etc. I think Hawthorn are going to struggle to even make the top eight next year.
Opinions?
