Tigers have been ripped and gutted that’s what 3 flags gets you look at the Hawks:
Gotta hand it to the AFL, the soft cap has worked a treat. Bit annoyed they brought it in as soon as we became a financial powerhouse though.

Early reports that he has the West Coast gig.
We need a new recruiter.
New ideas.
We can't use 1st rounders always on project players or midgets.
Kids that have good skills, ball winning ability, marking, not afraid of the contest and some leg speed.
Time for a new bloke in the punt Rd chair.

so matt clarke is gone, hopefully we dont get hardwicked by Blair, as he ( Matt ) is now doing Blairs job at West coast

If Blair goes after Clarke is gone, we are starting from square 1, all the ip we have acquired in our last 3 flags will be at other clubs

Serious

Yep, good guy gave his all, you have to take the promotion.

But I don't see it as a seismic loss. We need new voices, look at our list right now, should we be devastated?

Wait until Clarke starts to poach our players.
His new job is to literally build a list
 
He'll have a fair idea who we are looking at for this year's draft, however it's that far out our rankings will change.

We have a full season to embed the new guy in the role. Or poach someone.
This year is a big year for us.
The positive is we have a lot of time to prepare

The replacement is gonna have plenty of levers to pull in their first draft.

I wouldnt mind giving jagga smiths dad a 1 year deal?

Hopefully the long term replacement grew up with usain bolt posters on the wall
