There's not many players retiring or due to retire which I consider will without doubt be a senior coach one day.
The two that are, and have been standouts over their career in my opinion would be Luke Hodge and Steve Johnson.
Hodge's form clearly warrants another one or two years given where the Hawks are, challenging for another flag.
Johnson however has called time at Geelong and possibly, within the next week or two call time on his professional career altogether.
But let's say he doesn't. Is he the type of player to help fast-track our younger brigade by playing with them for a year or two and then assuming a coaching role?
We're years off challenging for a flag and with dead wood such as M Jones, Bail, Jordie Mc, et al about to be moved on, the question is whether we approach Johnson to bring a more daring and attacking player to our list.
I'm keen.
