No, to get a priority pick you need to mount a case based on several years of dismal performances. All going well the Hawks get one in 2022.
Very real chance the Saints could get a top 3 pick though.

Bzzt. Incorrect. Everyone knew it was bad, Hawthorn shredded a culture up and gave away a top 10 pick to get him. Well played Hawthorn. Well played.

There weren't exactly a huge number of young kids around looking to move so they took a punt on the best available, knowing it came with a risk.
What is a surprise is the Mitchell they brought in.
Watched the easter Monday game and was surprised at how bad he actually is.
I used to be surprised to see the numbers he was putting up in the NEAFL but struggled to crack the swans side on a regular basis.
Having seen his efforts on Monday, I now get why the swans didn't rate him.

T. Mitchell is ok. The thing is at the Swans he was the 4th or 5th midfielder. At the Hawks hes higher in the pecking order. Gets more attention now and is struggling with that.
He can find the ball, but his kicking is very balloony.

Sure, they'll soon have money to throw around with plenty of top end talent at the end of their careers but no free agent in their right mind would see the Hawks as a destination club over the next 3-5 years.
