Yep, took eye off drafting and that was always going to cost them.Hawthorn after all their zany trades.
Least Crows have Fogarty, Hamill and one or two other youngsters to start to build from. It is not much but it is not as bad as Hawks youth.

I don’t ask this in a smart arse sense but I’ve honestly not watched any of north this year aside from against us, just read the odd match report - what the hell has happened to Ben Brown? I know he wasn’t the spawn of Lockett and Ablett and there was always a knock on him for getting a lot of frees but the guy was/is a genuinely good goal kicking forward.
Was very out of form + had some personal issues + injured his knee.
Fair enough. I know he’s been mentioned in dispatches as trade bait, honestly if we targeted Cameron and came up short I wouldn’t be shattered if we picked him up, assuming he could shrug those issues
Yes could be an option but other clubs might be in the hunt - notably Collingwood and perhaps the Bombers. The worry for me is that there was some very questionable intensity on show, perhaps that was off field stuff affecting him though.
Probably out of Hawthorn and Essendon. Both not going anywhere in a hurry despite signing a bunch of players over the past few years. Essendon‘s better because of McGrath, Ridley and Draper. Hawthorn really only have Day and Scrimshaw as decent young players going forward.
I reckon you could merge Brisbane with Fitzroy and there would be a period where they wouldn't win a final for 10 years.I reckon you could merge North and the Crows into one squad and they'd still struggle to win 50 percent of their games.
Adelaide for sure. They are so far from being a good side again that you cant even see the light at the end of the tunnel atm. I couldnt even name you 1 young gun under 23 on their list. Maybe Fogarty, but that's still a big maybe right now.

Oh wait..
North and Hawthorns are pretty ordinary.
Hawthorn, age of players and it will depend on things like O'Mearas knee and how Sicily comes back from Injury as to where they go next.
Decisions on Puopolo, Smith, Frawley, McEvoy and Henderson age wise. Does Shiels, Breust and Gunston have currency? Will they be around for the next flag tilt?
Stratton is badly out of form, he may lose the captaincy, but will he lose his spot?
North is the worst by a stretch. They have publicly stated that their 4 untouchables are Cunnington, Goldstein, Higgins and Ziebell.
Two of these blokes are 32, 2 are 30 next year.
He’s also never been a big contested guy, he beat defenders over four quarters at the longer length through repeat sprint efforts. Shorter quarters have hurt the endurance forwards.Was very out of form + had some personal issues + injured his knee.
Our list has a few gaps but the age profile of the players who will be prominent in B&F voting this year is pretty good (McGrath, Merrett, Ridley, Saad, Shiel, Langford, Parish)Essendon for mine. Seem the furthest away from challenging. With their profile they should be aimjng for top 4.
