The Grand Final is over and a new season is quickly upon us.
It is almost impossible not to get caught up in the swirling trade winds that come with this time of year.
Everyone has their opinions: their must-have, their long-shot and those that they just want their club to steer clear of.
We have collated some of the ideas posted on social media that surround all things Hawthorn ahead of next week’s kick-off.

So, where do you sit?
According to the media, once again Hawthorn are the favourites to land every player currently on the trade table. Yes all of them. Hawks 2019 list will have roughly 73 players on it.

Best trade scenario I've heard so far is that Gold Coast end up with picks 2, 3, 4 and 5. Then within 5 years they are all playing for Hawthorn, Richmond and Collingwood.

Shiel gets to Hawthorn. Then we must go after a key position forward in the draft or get ourselves in the position to trade for one next year. Our ageing backline can hold up for the next 2-3 years + have Sicily, Hardwick, Burton to work with.

With all this Dylan Shiel news, I'm getting flashbacks of '16 with Jaeger O'Meara being linked to Hawthorn and always checking twitter and trade radio to see if there had been an update #NABTradeRadio

The Shaun Burgoyne trade is still reaping dividends for Hawthorn - the pick #9 that we sent to Port as part of the deal was used for Andrew Moore, who didn't make much of an impact at AFL level but yesterday captained Box Hill to a flag

Hawks getting 53 players in the trade period this year. Again.

Just read Hawks interested in Karl Amon as well. Hawks getting busy. Shiel, Amon and Scrimshaw would be some trade period.
