Hawks officials have openly stated that they don’t expect the club to be huge players in this year’s trade period.
However, that hasn’t deterred the fans from concocting their own trade strategies.
Some are bold and ambitious and could potentially lead to that piece of silverware we are so deeply craving.
Others are, well, simply bonkers. But we appreciate the effort nonetheless!
Here are some of the tips sent in via social media – we’ll let you decide which category each falls into.
Gibbs and Krueser to @HawthornFC https://t.co/goO9C4zUmb

@traderadio surely @LHodge15 and Pick 42 to @brisbanelions in return for @Schache23 to @HawthornFC is a fair trade and #WinWin

In the Schache case, we need a Key Forward, will play for 10+ years. Add him in the Hodge trade with draft picks and bam, we have a KPF.

@traderadio maybe @HawthornFC move an experienced player for Schache @brisbanelions indicated they want a pick? Bruest or Smith types

Ben McEvoy might not be the highest profile player to be recruited to @HawthornFC but he is the classiest

Hawthorn supporters (or also not Hawthorn supporters). What type of player do you think our main focus should be over the trade/draft period

And perhaps our favourite of the lot....
Stuff it! I'm available too. Get in early though I'm in need of a big pre season! https://t.co/MdefJ3VUnj
