Looking at this list and allowing for the loss of Clark and Chip it makes you think how do we even justify spending 92.5% of the salary cap. We must have a truckload of cap space available. The club should be in a position to offer at least two multi million dollar contracts to contracted players in a bid to lure them to this rabble of a club. Players like Luke Parker and Steele Sidebottom. We have to spend the money somewhere, and if done properly in terms of length of contract/front ended there's no reason why we shouldn't do it. We need ready made players not just more draft picks. Throw up the money and someone of quality will come sniffing around. This wouldn't have to be ongoing as in a couple of years the youngers have hopefully come on.

Trading all four would be good.

that gave me a good laugh mate.

Nailed it, time for him to go.

Don't put it on them, put it on Watts, Grimes, Dawes and co.

No he's not.

Breaking news the Hawks have just kicked 2 goals in the opening 4 minutes at the house of pain with key forwards missing whilst playing another top 4 side. We are on our home ground, arguably full strength against a expansion club sharing a similar ladder position.

I can only hope the coaching staff don't have the same emotional attachment to some of the players as some people on here do. A number of players been in the system for years and bring very little to the table.

With the departures of Clark and possibly Chip, I would love to know who is getting paid. There isn't enough talent on our list to even justify paying the minimum salary cap. Overpaying under performers is as damaging as gifting them games.

Don't forget his two tackles.

Watching quality teams midfielders kick low, direct, bullet like passes to a leading forward..... wow, what a concept.

No passengers is the only way forwad.

Just confirmed 3rd year on SEN

He was b grade, his game has gone to a new level. He's not getting caught holding the ball like he used and his decision making has greatly improved. Can be relied on week after week.

How is the system based on lies and deceit? Phil Davis was man enough to say he was leaving the Crows to take up an offer from GWS. He subsequently spent the remainder of the season in the reserves. No lies, no smoke and mirrors just the truth. I think he is going but hasn't made up his mind where.

Thought Salem and Pedo should have been higher.

Regardless of changes Dunn must stay in the backline.

He would have to be involved in a contest for that to happen. So.........

F'N classic BB

Great news and Cross has been huge for us this year. That fact that his absence over recent weeks is so sorely missed just highlights how far we have to go.

Dunn didn't have his best game yesterday but fits that criteria. I would also add Tmac and Jetta to that list. Two that didn't play yesterday - Salem is skilful and has footy smarts, from what I've seen(most but not all of his games) puts himself in the right places and can hold his ground/out smart his player. JKH.......we know he needs to work on some areas of his game but I think we have the makings of a player there. But yes we have many that don't fit that criteria.

We need players who love the contest, and can win the contested footy. This automatically rules out a number of players currently on our list. Frawley can take all the time he needs to make up his mind playing on the reserves. Time to send a message.

You had me until Reiwoldt. Overrated mino specialist.

Well put. He was waiting to see the direction of the club......in Hawks colours next year.
