There's been a lot of 'doesn't make sense' about the Cats and Hawks over the last few years..... All put down to the 'we love each other/want to play together' crap...
If that's true, their player managers are incompetent.
I have no proof....
But lot's of (fairly obvious) weird things going on
Go Blues.

Last year Cats retired Lonergan, Mackie and Motlop left and the year before Stevie J and Caddy was traded plus all the C Graders they move on why wouldn't they have money for a mid range salary in $550,000??
Hawks are the same they move and retire big name players Hodge, Mitchell and Lewis.

Mitchell....
Go to WCE because they want him for a year and then to be an assistant.... Lowest payed player and highest paid rookie assistant was he?... Paid by WCE footy department... Rumours flying around then (Simpson got them out of a Salary cap debacle)... Doesn't look any less suspect if he packs his bags and comes straight back to the Hawks does it?
.... And Lonergan /Bartel were probably the only significant retirees when they brought Dangerfield in.... So what were they paying these guys... Evry year before that they were supposedly getting peanuts to 'keep the guys together'?
Probably chicken and egg... Do the rumours start because the ins and outs don't match and there's whispers, or the ins don't match which starts rumours...
I don't know.....but the 'good management' line... over a long time, doesn't work
Go Blues

What has what West Coast paid Mitchell got to do with Hawthorn clearing salary cap space??
I guess we might figure it out now....
Obviously the rumours were pretty close to the bone....
