whoa! where'd all that space come from??

yes, your fwd-line needs some attention! But first ...

Backs: just my opinion, but I don't think Waters will improve any on last season, so unless you've just got him there for more of the same or a bit less then up to you. Tarrant also question marks over him - there's a reason he's so cheap, he ain't gonna score much for you. my suggestion, why don't you downgrade him to a bargain rookie and try Heppell on the field?

Mids: you're missing one here mate, but other than i don't rate Foley that highly right at the moment, but the line looks ok but decision reserved as you're missing one.

Rucks: Warnock? you don't have Petrie in your fwd-line, you may as well have him here over Warnock IMO - unless you're willing to put $20 on Warnock increasing his scoring avg by 15pts or more to around 75 this year ...

Fwds: ok, having a closer look it ain't that bad - i'd have concerns on N Ablett and Butcher getting early games if i had them on the bench, let alone on the field! I know it's a fair way to Rd1 but you'll likely need better rookies to play on the field for you and preferably only 1 rookie as opposed to 2 on the field if you can.

good luck!

Backs:
would look to change water & tarrant, will cripps get games early on (keep an eye on him)

dont think wallis will get a game early either (could be wrong watch again)

i wouldnt have warnock but if you think he will improve 15 ppg then worth a risk

foward line looked a worry but it was because they are all mixed up, i would be worried having rioli higgins and ROK there i would lose nathan ablett dont think he ll play that much

good luck

Thanks for replies -

I've brought in Grimes and Reid in the backline to replace Tarrant and Waters

Petrie in the rucks to replace Warnock

Sam Day in the forward line to replace Nablett

(Swan was the one missing in the mids)

thoughts PLEASE!!

[General Lee]

Come on help a fella out why don't ya? Advice/thoughts and etc

[General Lee]

why no help?

selfish pricks  >:(

[cmgb84]

even though you called us selfish pricks, i will offer you some advice


B - who is s.reid??

m - dont rate foley at his price, better options at a cheaper price. both conca and swallow are very expensive for the bench

r - standard, although with petrie having suspension in round1 and a bye in rnd 3 you may want to change it

f- no riewoldt? crazy. day, darling and butcher are young key fwds, doubt they will play many games this year and there are better options

hopefully that stops ya sooking :'(

[Mr.Craig]

I would swap Selwood for Bartel because with Ablett gone Selwood will probably get the No.1 tagger each week. I don't think Chapman will be as good this year, go with Buddy or N. Riewoldt. Being a Hawks fan I've seen plenty of Rioli and he is so up and down, sometimes I don't even realise he's on the field. Too risky for my mind. Maybe upgarde to Pav or a good cheaper option might be Mitch Morton. Aside from that it's a really solid team.

Thanks guys  ;)

I really need a BIG win this year
