Tex Power?

Yeh, lets face it there isnt to many clubs that could afford to lose talented players like those two, Hawks the exception to the rule after buddy walking, they were better set up to handle such a loss. We certainly dont have the same luxury at the minute.

The Hawks are certainly the exception, they didn't even really need Buddy in 2013. They just have a great administration, by far the most well managed team in the competition. Furthermore, Alastair Clarkson has a MBA so we can see just how advantageous business acumen can be to a coach - just look at the sustainability of their list, my team -the Power- are incredibly young, however only time will tell if the list is sustainable - the age of the list is the reason that at this point in time we can surrender our 1st & 2nd round picks for Ryder, in two to three years we may not have that luxury. 

Collingwood were a young team when they were on top but there list wasn't sustainable - Geelong is the only other team comparable to the Hawks and like the Hawks they fall - not to the same extent - to rebuild. Things look difficult for the Cats now though - players want to leave unlike before

Agree the age of your list makes it reasonable to give up those picks for a guy that could be the missing the piece in the jigsaw, a great get and worthy of loosing those picks.
Yep the Hawks are now a class act, have been for a few years and certainly Clarko has a lot to do with that. The timeline of him arriving till now shows that. I rate the hawks up there with Sydney, all class.
