Defence needs a lot of strengthening.
I'd go wines over danger... Although I'd downgrade even for for that defence!
Solid other than that!

Defence definitely needs a top-up - Other lines look fine though. Not sure I would go with Wines  :o

[bowyanger]

Not sure WhiteX is a straight up starter in the Hawks best 22 with the emergence of Litherland last season & players like Hartung, ORourke, Duryea even Jed Anderson all battling for 1 or 2 positions as a utility type

Actually Im pretty sure WhiteX will not play every week even if 100% fit...IMO he is not in Hawthorns best 22
Hurn, Higgins or Vlastuin are players Id look at having better JS and potential PPG increase

Fyfes got a bit of a niggle and has an interrupted pre season - when your talking that much $$$ you certainly want to have someone without any doubt of being at full fitness...he is a gun, I had him last year from the start but not starting with him this year
I would go with Wines/ Griffen to free up some $$$

Dangerpants is a big POD...definitely hanging your plums out with that one (contract distraction) but we know what he is capable of and there is no age / injury issue with him
BCrouch could be the new Adelaide love child this year

Im not big on BJ at all, past his best IMO, Swan Ive had in and out and Im really not too sure I want Swan to take a spot where there is much more chance of many other forwards increasing by far more $$ - which is the main aim of the game...increasing PPG for $$$ spent
I think Bennell is a viable forward option with much more upside than BJ or Swan

Downgrade Gray to a lower costing premo forward, Danger to a rookie and then upgrade that defence!!
