Hawthorn - making Top 4 while rebuilding
I know Geelong might like to claim they are doing this too, but their success has been due to their senior players, which is why they remain the oldest side in the comp. Their youngsters have been fair to middling. No doubt Doris will be in here shortly, though.
Collingwood likewise have some youngsters, but again they are peripheral players. Sidebottom, Beams, Blair, Fasolo, great stuff but they get on the end of it rather than creating it.
Hawthorn however owe their form to their younger players. In fact its hard to remember another team that has had as much success on the back of their youngsters. The kids will be rewarded with a taste of finals action this year, and no doubt they will be up to that challenge, too.
Future looks good.

Franklin and Rioli.
You could put those two in Port Adelaide's current team and they'd win games.

Re: Hawthorn - making Top 4 while rebuilding
OP looks like he is content with Top 4 knowing that Hawthorn are a mile off Geelong, who are even more behind Collingwood.
The average age of Hawthorn against Carlton was 25 Y, 115 D.
The average age of Collingwood's GF side against St. Kilda was 24 Y, 58 D.

Re: Hawthorn - making Top 4 while rebuilding
Making top four in 2011 looks like making top four in 2009 & 2010. That is it is only the top two that have a real chance, 3 & 4 are only there to lose the prelim.

Re: Hawthorn - making Top 4 while rebuilding
What about Dawes, Pendlebury, Thomas, Wellingham? I wonder if they'd be considered on the periphery, because they are certainly all young.

Re: Hawthorn - making Top 4 while rebuilding
I think Dawes and Wellingham are those second level players that aren't driving the game while they develop, but do their job admirably... same with Toovey, Blair, Fosolo and Buckley.
Pendles, Thomas and Reid are dominating as they develop. Scary stuff
