2017 Rd 1 Post Game Analysis: Carlton vs Richmond

[PaulP]

Not sure how precise, deliberate and purposeful the Hawks looked after their superdraft in 2004, when they finished 14 out of 16 in 2005 and 11 out of 16 in 2006. We tend to forget that Brisbane had exceptionally lean years before the halcyon days, as did Hawthorn, as did Geelong etc etc etc. 

Ride the bumps and stay resilient!!

Yes, no doubt that's true. But I was referring to a much later stage of the Hawks evolution, the one with which Bolts would be intimately acquainted. He wasn't there in the early 2000's.

But I take your point.
