Hooper... As in Ryan Hooper from the Hawks? He quit football dude. :x

And 2 Daw's in the foward line looks wrong too :x

Nah Hooper from the bulldogs - i think he is a forward?  Yeah,  have coorected the two Daws in the forwards - sorry bout that.

No problems. I like the Dogs Hooper but you could go other options as well. Nice unique however though.

No Sandilands? Tough decision there.


Overall I would give your team a 8.2/10

Thanks for that - yeah i'm up in the air about sandi next year and trying to deciede whether to start with him or upgrade when his price drops.  What other options would you recommend re Hooper?

[8-6 Suited]

The options I would look at are the following. Prices are an estimate of their price. Give or take 5-10k.

Callum Wilson - WCE - 240k
Ricky Petterd - Melb - 255k
Patrick Veszpremi - WB - 190k



Wilson will stand out this season for the Eagles, will definately be a cash cow next season imo.

Petterd is a gun if he can stay healthy. Its a risk but will be rather unique.

Patrick Veszpremi will be likely to get a game in the forward line for the Dogs every week and will be a perfect cash cow to upgrade later in the season. May not score fantastic but money is everything.

Cheers for that, yeah the options you put forward would be better then Hooper but I would have to maybe downgrade Chapman to someone else as Hooper costs only 87,500 bucks.  Not starting with Chapman could be a wise move as he could pull a hammy in the first week (or dominate as he did this year!).

Go Pies! :D

Yeah I personally love CHappy as a player but I think last years lack of injuries was a precursor to this season. :x
