Need some help with this one

[tobrie16]

Would love to know where I can improve :)

Back           Goddard, Gibbs, Lake*, Pearce**, Vlastuin, Goodes  (Terlich, Docherty)


Centre       Swan, Ablett, Pendle, Murphy, O'Keefe, Embley, Wines, Crouch    (O'Meara, Viney)


Ruck         Kreuzer, Leunberger  (Witts, Daw)

Forward     Franklin, Cox, Bartel, Knights, Byrnes, Macaffer    (Staker, Lee)


*I have a feeling Lake will suit the Hawthorn playing style with a bit of chip around in defense and hence to very well, however he is subject to NAB form.
**I really like Pearce, he is a very good player and I believe he will provide a lot of run and demand a fair bit of the ball.

Drop either Swan or Ablett to someone a bit cheaper but who is still a premo.
Drop Kruezer and get a better ruck
If you are having Cox forward at least get a link in your rucks so you can move Cox to your rucks if needed
I wouldn't have both Franklin and Cox drop one to Stevie J or Robbo even
Bartel could work but I'd prefer Rockliff or Wright

Definately get rid of Kruz his record is terrible. 45 games in 3 years* or something. If you want a smoky ruck go Stefan Martin he could easily pull an 85+ avg imo.
Pearce did go up and down a lot be prepared for 130 then 45.
Maybe drop Rhino or Wembley to a rook for $ and upgrade Knights or Byrnes to a decent 80+ avg. Petrie, Pav, Whitecross, Daisy (if he starts rnd 1), Rockcliff, not Boomer* - someone who will be in your best forwards at the end of the season. I think Knights n Byrnes would be back up benchies or downgrades to mid season rooks at best.
You have no dpp in the ruck, are you playing Cox solely as a forward?
*I have a feeling Lake will suit the Hawthorn playing style with a bit of chip around in defense and hence to very well, however he is subject to NAB form.
Remember his 28 or whatever it was rnd1 last year? Don't judge his early season form too harshly

Don't grab Boomer he is suspended for the first few games of the year.

Ah bugger, not that I have him but I was saying to a few you need guys who will likely play 22 games with a 90 odd avg and mentioned him a couple of times. Oops  :-[ Apologies!
