List quality
Hi
In the Age Article Butters is attributed with the following statement:-
"We've always had a position on recruiting that was very simple. Will the person you're about to recruit play in our next premiership side."
I'm interested in the forums thoughts on:-
1) Which players on our list would get a spot in the hawks 22 at the moment.
2) Which players have the potential to get a spot.
My thoughts are below but I don't have enough knowledge of the Hawthorn team to have a firm opinion on the matter let alone give consideration to the old chestnut "team balance".
1) Dal Santo / Young
Fisher /Gilham
Goddard /Ladson
Hayes /Interchange
Koschitzke /Interchange
Montagna / Interchange
Milne /Interchange
Roo / Roughead
2)X&R Clarke??
Hawthorn 2008 Grand Final Team
B: Stephen Gilham Trent Croad Brent Guerra
HB: Grant Birchall Luke Hodge Rick Ladson
C: Jordan Lewis Sam Mitchell (Captain) Clinton Young
HF: Michael Osborne Lance Franklin Cyril Rioli
F: Mark Williams Jarryd Roughead Campbell Brown
Foll: Robert Campbell Brad Sewell Chance Bateman
Int: Stuart Dew Xavier Ellis Brent Renouf
Shane Crawford
Coach: Alastair Clarkson
This exercise may show up just how far we have to go to get a premiership line up.

I thought their recruiting mantra was ' will they be there for 10 yrs or 100 games"

a better way to ask the question is : Hypothetically speaking say St kilda were to fold and every single player on our list was up for grabs in a free for all style draft who would have intrst shown in them ?
imo
Straight up Roo Lenny Dal BJ Fisher would be the most sought after names with Joey Ball Shnider gram also would create a buzz
players like Kosi Milne gilbo armo might get a look in at a club looking to give a player go to prove themself
the rest would prob only get a passing interest
( the likes of baker King and Max although would be handy to a few teams wouldnt get a look in mostly due to their age)

How ridiculous! We finished our season only 7 days before Hawthorn did and we smashed them in the home & away season.1) Which players on our list would get a spot in the hawks 22 at the moment.
2) Which players have the potential to get a spot.

No one is that far away on their day. Hawthorn are further away from Geelong than we are from Hawthorn, yet look at the Grand Final, anything can happen...
