    Re: Proactive Poaching

    I think we have now secured the two KP players we need and I'll be happy enough to land a lower key player or two from here.

    A versatile support ruckman and someone like Aidan Bonar would be nice additions

    Lets see how we going about landing both Bruce and Keath and how we can better position ourselves from next season draft bonanza

    Is it too early to start calling this offseason the #SummerofSam?

    Looks like Bruce has officially requested a trade...

    Players in their prime actually nominating us before trade week even starts. Is this how Hawks fans feel?

    How good must we be as a destination these days when compared with Essendon.

    Paddy Ryder toured Essendon and then St.Kilda, and has subsequently expressed his preference to join the Saints because the feeling and excitement around Moorabbin was so much better than what he picked up with his tour of his old Club.

    Now we have 2 high-end mobile key position players expressing us over Moorabbin.

    Do we really need our future first given our access to JUH? Could we get creative here to hold on to a first round this year?

    Yes. We need the 1,000-1,200 draft points attached to them. But I can see us trading it down for an overall increase in draft points. I explained the draft points situation on the afl board.
