I just thought the Frawley link was to obvious and had been mentioned before. 

Impey and Wingard have “improved” out of sight as players as well. Win some, you lose some, the Hawks player development is the big difference compared to the Dees.

Wingard has improved??? What games have you watched

Wingard won’t get another contract once his current one is up. 

The Hawks give these players 2 years. Some stick around, the others are let go. But they are always looking. 

After yesterday Hardwick will do similar, one spot on the list is all you need.

Clarko got the best out of Tyrone Vickory. 

That's a low bar to set!

It's the Hawks system that is what's so good. 

Their development is overrated.

Sure, they developed Hodge, Franklin, Roughead, Mitchell and Lewis, but IMO that's more about system.

And all the FAs and trades they've brought in for quite some time have been role players who have fitted into a system.

They don't have enough guns now, so their system doesn't stand up like it once did.

Surely... surely you aren't serious.

We do need an irony font.

But seriously, why would a person leaving be placed in such a representative position.

i reckon it could be an indicator that he stays.

Personally I don't care that much. The whole squad needs a real change of attitude  and approach. None of them should be looking at wage increases until they win a flag. I don't know how popular most of our players would be to any other club they have proven nothing. Every one has potential but few have shown it consistently.

Clarkson ain’t Stupid. 

The Jury is still out at Melbourne 

Clarkson may not be stupid but he does make mistakes. Frosty would make a great forward in rugger, with his build and speed.

Pros

He is tall, super quick and durable.

Cons

His marking, kicking and positioning are inconsistent. He has yet to show that he can play as a genuine key defender.

How much of salary cap do we pay?

I heard announced on SEN Langdon and Tomlinson IN and Frost OUT.  Is this not the case?

I don't think that's been officially confirmed, but it looks as though this will be the likely outcome when all is said and done.

So between rounds 1-8 in the Best and Fairest count Frost isn't even in the top 10. Bloke by the name of Marty Hore is currently sitting 7th.

Primw example of what the coaches think of him. I'd rather keep him if we could, but he's no big loss if he leaves.

Frosty's middle name/s is/are "dances to the beat of his own drum".

You missed the air quotes around “”improved””... as in he hasn’t. Hello McFly!!

For a club that has been very strong, Hawthorn definitely have a weird history of taking on Melbourne NQRs in this century. Paul Johnson is another and they nearly gave us Brad Sewell for Ryan Ferguson. Their interest in Frost is probably a good sign!

 Not happy! Whatever we get won’t be worth what we are giving up unless there is a player swap that hasn’t been talked about so far.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
