Today marks the first day of the delisted free agency period, with clubs now having the opportunity to sign uncontracted players from November 3 until November 9, before another opportunity from November 11 to November 15.

The Hawks were second-last for scoring from stoppages this year, begging the need for outside midfield skills to support the aforementioned inside ball-winners.

The Hawks could pick up Michael Gibbons after he was delisted from Carlton - being told he was a midfielder.
