Not suggesting we go down this path but didn’t the hawks trade out some of their older stars as they approached retirement age so they got something back for them - lids is the only example of us doing this.

And they traded them out when they were pretty much done, and got salary cap relief allowing to go after Scully and Wingard etc.

Mitchell went ok for the Eagles in his one season Lewis was ok first up at Melbourne but was done this year.

Hawks timed it right.

:p

Vickery going then Griff retiring before 2017 were the best things that could've happened they along with the trading of Deledio at end of 2016 were pretty much the catalysts for the RFC change of game plan and the acquisition of Caddy, Nank and Dion.

Had They stayed 2017 likely wouldn't have happened, nor 2019 for that matter.

There's some real sliding doors action.

Had 2017 not happened we likely wouldn't have got Tommy either if we are honest.

Thus 2019 probs doesnt happen either.

Thanks Ty thanks Griff thanks Brett.

Without wanting to be rude or disrespectful to the guys in retrospect the most significant greatest impact they all made for the RFC was actually leaving.
