Totally Positive Outlook, Why Hawthorn Will Win in 2008
They are a young team with plenty of room to keep improving.
There are some defenders as tall as Franklin, some as fast as Franklin, but there are no defenders who can match Lance Franklin for both height and speed.
The Hawks needed to find a veteran, someone who can kick the ball a long way and someone who has experience winning a Grand Final, Dew on the ground is something that should help Hawthorn.
Mark Williams was hurt last year which took away a different type of player from their forward line, he is back and can provide a small player that can take marks on the lead and kick accurately for goal.
The Hawks have a lot more depth than most other AFL teams, as players like Thorp, Mr Kennedy Version 3.0, Murphy and Tuck would be certain starters for many AFL teams.
The Hawks have had many early draft picks in recent years, and these players have gone through their development stage and are about to become big stars, and some are already big stars.
Tasmania gives them an advantage, during preseason they trained in the coolest state while other clubs were in Darwin and Brisbane, and when the Hawks play there during the regular season they will again have a home state advantage.
Cyril Rioli did some amazing things in the Under 18 championships last year, and it seems that he will be able to do that at AFL level too.
With the rest of the Mortons now in Victoria too, the Hawks may not have to worry about Jarryd Morton returning to Western Australia and he can provide them with a medium forward option to replace what Dixon used to do.
Moss gives them some insurance in case Mitchell misses a game, and maybe Moss can sing Telephone Booth which is a catchy tune.
