Brisbane wins a premiership with two key forwards on a combined $400,000 for 2025. Just extraordinary #AFLGF

✍️ “Premiership teams are not built overnight” ⏪ 2022 “off-season”. Hawthorn had just finished 13th after winning only 8 games. The coach and his list management team knew big change was required for the Hawk’s to start challenging for their next 🏆 Some huge decisions were made. 2022 Trade, free agency & draft: Out: Tom Mitchell, Jaeger O’Meara, Jack Gunston. #27, #52, #54, #56, F2 & F3 In: Karl Amon (free agent), Lloyd Meek, Cooper Stephens, #18, #37, #46, #51, F3 At the time, Sam Mitchell was accused by some in the media of “tanking” & “cutting the list too deep”. The coach was smart. He knew patience was required. He openly explained his strategy, taking supporters on the journey. "This is about building our next phase of talent. "I have no interest (and I know the players feel the same), to just sneak into the finals. Internally we are working on building premiership standards because only then can we become a premiership team. "Premiership teams are not built overnight, we want to be in a position where we are competing to win it all when our time comes - whenever that may be." Draft: Pick 7- Cam Mackenzie Pick 18- Josh Weddle Pick 37- Henry Hustwaite Pick 46- Jack O’Sullivan Pick 51- Bailey MacDonald ⏩ 2023 season. Hawthorn finished 16th after winning just 7 games. During the season they beat both Brisbane & Collingwood who went on to play in the Grand Final. They were also competitive against other top 8 sides. The signs were there. Another big off-season arrived. 2023 Trade, free agency & draft: Out: Tyler Brockman, Jacob Koschitzke, Brandon Ryan, #37, #38, #50, #54,#65 In: Jack Ginnivan, Mabior Chol, Massimo D’Ambrosio, Jack Gunston, #56, 2 x F2 & F4 Draft: Pick 5- Nick Watson Pick 19- Will McCabe (F/S) Pick 46- Bodie Ryan Pick 56- Calsher Dear (F/S) ⏩ 2024 season: The on-field results came. The Hawks won 14 games & finished 7th. They would go on to win an Elimination Final and just miss out on making a Preliminary Final. The coach still wasn’t satisfied. It would once again be another huge off-season for the Hawks. 2024 Trade, free agency & draft: Out: #17, F1, F2, F3 In: Tom Barrass, Josh Battle, F1,F2 & F4 Draft: Pick 35 - Noah Mraz Pick 64 - Cody Anderson ⏩ 2025 season: Hawthorn won 15 games and finished 8th. They are now into a Preliminary Final having won 2 x interstate finals. The majority of their recruits from the trade and free agency periods since 2022 have played a crucial role as have some of the draftees. Whatever happens over the coming week’s, Sam Mitchell and his list management team deserve a lot of credit for sticking with their strategy and for continuing to be ruthless. Hawthorn may not win the 🏆 this season but their time will arrive soon. The Hawk’s will be challenging for 🏆’s in the years to come. @HawksInsiders
