[Holden the ball]

[sammy123]

kerridge(mid),petracca(mid),ahern,kennedy,pickett

[Gigantor]

Kommer, Tippa(def), Adams(def)

Pretty light on for Fwd only rookies at the moment

[jfitty]

Pretty much what the other lads have said:

Petracca and Kerridge are locks
Pickert and Ahern should feature this year, hopefully early in the season
Nick Kommer if he's fit
Liam Sumner might get a run at the Blues
Marcus Adams and Mitch Brown are defenders also, but could be picked up forward if you're stuck

Plus there'll be some Essendon rookies play, as well as the usual preseason bolters that pop up every year.

[Capper]

who will Hawks bring in for Roughie? O'Brien and Sicily have been named as maybes

[Mr.Craig]

Likely Sicily.

[hawkers65]

Fitzpatrick will most likely line up now. Was a chance with Hale gone but now with the pinch hitting Roughy out you'd expect Fitz to take his spot as he can play as a full forward or ruck if needed.

So cut about Roughy  :'(

[Mr.Craig]

Ceglar would be replacing Hale I'd have thought. Then we have the option of selecting a dedicated forward, whether it be Sicily, TOB or someone else.

[hawkers65]

At one stage we had McEvoy, Ceglar and Hale all in the side at once so playing McEvoy, Ceglar and Fitzpatrick isnt out of the question, particularly as he can be more of a stay at home forward then the others. But in saying that we do need to blood some youth. Its just o'Brien didnt have the season in the VFL everyone had hoped so cant see him filling Roughy's hole. Sicily would be the better option IMO

[fanTCfool]

Apparently Bolton wants to blood lots of rookies, which could be good, but may also mean that 4-5 rookies cycle through 1 spot
