Is Gawn the best player we have ever had?
I love MaX too Cheesy but Jimmy's 4 Bluey's, Brownlow, 2 x AA, Melb & AFL Hall of Fame & 244 consecutive games puts him number 1 IMO......Max is definately on his way but not there yet! Jimmy also changed the landscape for ruckmen & apart from Koutafides, he was the first ruckman to be recognised as a ruck rover. Great discussion :)

Is Gawn the best player we have ever had?
No.... For me when I think of all-time greatest players, I think of Stynes, Flower, Barrasi & Neitz Stynes then daylight for me.

Farewell Mitch Hannan
Mitch has been a favorite of Simon Goodwin's & always received the benefit of the doubt during his time at the Dees. Good solid aggressive player who could sometimes impact the scoreboard, however, in my opinion, never got enough of the footy. Wish him well at the Doggies.

Jayden Hunt Re-Signs for 2 years
Wow! This one surprises me a bit.....I am glad though & I just hope that after only 6 games this year, that Goodwin actually plays him & plays him off the HB line where he can use his talent. Good luck Jayden

Nathan Jones Locked in for 2021
Oh dear.....

Farewell Mitch Hannan
No loss to us as he's promised so much & delivered very little..... A good VFL player but that's all.

Time to have a talk about Jayden
Unfortunately this is an easy decision for Hunt..... The coach doesn't rate him & he should look else where. I see his value being off a HB or wing where his pace can be a contributing factor......& he wont' tip out' Langdon, Brayshaw, Tomlinson, Salem, Rivers, J Smith etc for a regular spot in the dees line-up. If used & coached correctly, in my opinion, he could have a great impact from the HB line however time appears to have run out.

Isaac Smith
Premiership window now? Really.....I like to hear your rationale. Or is that it? Under-performing? So what do we need to change to perform?
-
Isaac Smith
This is surely a joke right..... A great player in his heyday, but go with a 1 year or just move on. The risk factor is high & we are no where near a premiership window. Go with youth.

Andrew Gaff
Always nice to dream I guess but maybe one day those exceptional 'free agent' players will want to come to our footy club.

Sam Frost 7th in Hawks B&F
Really AF......Tomlinson is the slowest bloke we have on our list! Averaging 12.5 disposals a game & on $500k or $600k per year & you would rather take him over Frosty? Pft! We all know Frosty makes some blues, however, what he can do better than most is take the game on! The modern game is screaming out for fast elusive players that break the lines & carry the ball 100m & you would prefer to have a player that kicks the ball sideways 10m? Give me a break!

Jared Polec
Polak? mmmmm.....no thanks. I'm still having nightmares about the the $800k per year for Tomlinson. That was a good move.....not!
-
Sam Frost 7th in Hawks B&F
Well done Frosty.....like others, it highlights to obvious blunder the Dees made. In my opinion, the backline is a problem because we are all slow. The ability to break the lines & transverse the footy up the ground quickly to our forwards is critical & has impacted our year. Having both Frosty & Hunt fit & firing in our backline would have made a huge difference to this years result.

Two Metre Peter
66 games in 6 years......mmmmm No thanks.

Mitch Hannan - wing?
Agree MD. Been in the choccie box for the last three years & he's probably done I reckon. Doesn't get enough of the footy for me & too inconsistent to hold a regular spot. With the big guns in Langdon & Tomlinson purposely recruited for the wing & Oscar now coming good, the door seems closed for him.
