Jeff Kennett addresses off-season changes, reports of a board spill and THAT letter to members

Hawthorn president Jeff Kennett was at his combative best on 3AW on Tuesday night, denying suggestions the Hawks had endured a tumultuous off-season, that a potential board spill was coming or that he had foreshadowed a big naming leaving the club with a letter to members.

Kennett said he was just making members aware of the fact it was a possibility they may be “surprised” about what unfolded over the trade period.

The futures of Tom Mitchell, Jaegar O’Meara, Chad Wingard and Jack Gunston have been widely speculated about since Kennett sent the letter to members.

Kennett said he never named any player.

“I have not heard from the football department, at all,” he said when asked if he knew about potential trade moves.
