Of course he does. Iām not saying itās a bad policy, Iām saying itās a policy thatās easier to adopt when players are falling over themselves to come to your club. As you mentioned, itās not exactly as if we could have said āfine, leave then, weāll just bring in some high quality players from other clubs on less moneyā over the last few years.
If hawthorn maintain their policy after a few years out of the eight and it doesnāt result in losing players they canāt replace, then more power to them.
Well that will spawn 100x PMās to @Mendozaaaa which seems tough.
Perhaps one of Mendozaaaa or @fogdog could add some speculation to our Kellypalooza back into top gear or completely crush it so we can move on to the new thread.

Then he will either end up at carlton or saints. We are out, North are out. Doubt there would be many other Melbourne clubs in a position to offer him that big of a deal and have the picks to give to GWS. Saints have 2 first rounders this year
Geelong dont win the first premiership without ottens.
But hell maybe mumford comes on and they win a different one who knows.
Mumford was a key to Cats early move up the ladder under Bomber.
But looking back now, how could he not have success with kelly, Bartel, Ablett, Chappy, Scarlett
they had a really good top tier and there depth wasnt bad then too - ie prismall.
