Who will Hawthorn steal this Trade and Free Agency period?

It is probably one of the biggest and most dangerous question on the minds of AFL recruiters this off-season. Which player are they going to miss out on as a result of a player seeking Premiership success over making more money?

It poses an interesting question for the AFL as over the last two off-seasons we have seen key free agents James Frawley and Lance Franklin sign with Grand Finalists over clubs that have offered more money. How can Grand Finalists afford star players?

There are many answers to these questions but one begs to suggest that the current system needs an overhaul to ensure clubs don't become a pit stop for success like Hawthorn appears to have been in recent history. It is almost getting to a point where Hawthorn may as well be handed the Premiership each year and if a player wants to take a pay cut they can win a Premiership with Hawthorn...

Anyways, the prediction for this off-season is that Chris Yarran heads to Hawthorn in exchange for a player and Hawthorn's second round pick. Although Yarran is expected to sign with Richmond I believe delays in the two clubs coming to an agreement will result in Hawthorn snatching Yarran and using him to help them secure their fourth straight Premiership.
