See this is what worries me young teams in recent times have pulled back the 2nd year after an initial run and then bounced again the following year after that. It happened to Freo, Sydney and Adelaide this year (yet to see the bounce back up).14-18
Hawthorn would be going against the grain if they were to avoid it.
If Barrass cost our F1st in any scenario we should pull out. It's too risky at this stage.
