Matt Suckling at the Dogs

[kilbluff1985]

is anyone else thinking he could improve his scoring they will look to get the ball to him more and do a similar role to Murphy

might be worth looking at next year

He may take Brian Lakes'old role when he was a Bulldog. How good could that be  :)

Wouldn't be surprised to see Bevo have him playing off the half forward flank or build his tank for the wing

I expect him to be quite versatile tbh

Don't really think he will do enough to be a great scorer but I think he would be a solid pick!

I think he will improve to 80-85 but it won't be enough for a keeper. In his best season at the Hawks he averaged 90, though I can't see him waltzing in and smashing that out straight away.

His disposal efficiency needs to be improved imo. At the right price, he is a starter in fantasy

[quinny88]

Won't be going near him. Have always felt that he was made to look like a better player because he was in such a good team, particularly his lack of accountability which he won't be able to get away with in a team that aren't dominant like Hawthorn.

My tho thoughts exactly, Quinney  ;)

I dunno if you guys have watched many WB games live but accountability and our backman aren't often associated too well. Only Roberts and Morris stay on their men. During general play and around the ground stoppages in our forward half Boyd, Murphy, Hamling, Biggs and Wood play 20+ metres in front of their opponents and back Easton Wood to be able to get back and cut everything off. Some teams (Crows/Eddie in the elimination final) can get over the defense and cut us up but mostly it works and is where our attacking style of play originates from. Suckling will fit right in and continue to make our backline the most dangerous attacking group in the league. If anything he'll have even more attacking freedom than what he is used to at Hawkthorn.

Do you think that will mean more points?

[Ricochet]

Suckling said in his presser he'll play half fwd / wing roles

[meow meow]

Do you think that will mean more points?

Nope. There's only so many to go around. Suckling won't walk in and be one of our best players so he won't be one of our best scorers.
