Kennett going helps the hawks ability to retain him. The question for him maybe whether its a long term proposition. The hawks will not offer 5 years. He will remember the pressure he was under after they slumped after the premiership year. He might relish building a dynasty as against a closing window for the Hawks. Then there is the Bomber Thompson factor, the opportunity to go back to his spiritual home with his best mates and work was just too tempting. That said they are still in the window and he might want to make the most of it. We can think of all sorts of reasons but what I like about this is that it says we are not going to be left wondering and yes we are serious about getting the best not just on offer but the best where ever they may be. It may make Malthouse rethink his position. I like it and even if it fails its a great strategy for rebuilding the club. "whatever it takes" This will have a significant impact on the playing group knowing we are not going to settle for whatever we can get.

Rumour has it once we win 6 flags in a row, and Gary Lyon is the CEO of the NINE network, the AFL will in 2020 move the "traditional Anzac day" clash between The Dees and Gold Coast to the newly constructed Hotham stadium. Vlad will say: "Sure its cold there but our latest expansion team plays in Singapore and its bloody hot there."

Shouldn't this thread be called "we have a bye this weekend" , so who you gunna call. I am off on a holday to make the most of the 2 week recess. Range Rover are you skiing?
