Off-season Grade: C+
Hard to analyse it any differently really, they lost some experience which was fine and they drafted well. They did however miss an opportunity to strengthen their draft hand for either 2020 or 2021 by not trading away more experienced players with some currency.
The likes of Jack Gunston and Luke Breust were wanted by other clubs but the Hawks stuck fat and didn't cash-in. Hard to see both players with similar currency next trade period, looks like an opportunity missed.
Tom Phillips' inclusion is a strong addition for the Hawks, who got the speedster on the cheap and firms to be a viable suitor to Isaac Smith and Tom Scully.
