"Higgins easily averaging 100"  ::)

RaisyDaisy

I can't see any more than 3 forwards averaging 100 over 22

90+ from a 367k player is good enough for F6 this year

@MS - why would he be rested and start to tire? You're talking like he still has cancer and gets chemo. He is 100% fit, and just made captain.

@Jnr - I think the majority here agree 90+ is a pass this year. JJK and Lynch do get the odd monster, and still don't crack 100

I had reservations on Roughy too having only just beaten cancer, however I spoke to someone that was involved in his care today.  Locked and loaded 100% for me now. ;)

Yeah Roughy locked. Will avg 95 imo. He's so versatile and that's one of his key strengths.

Surprisingly not that hard for a classy ball user who attends almost every stoppage 8)

Thousands get themselves into trouble each year trying to justify the value of midpricers by setting low targets of 90 for F6/D6.

JJK went 39, 62, 62 between Rounds 17-19 last year and still managed to average 97.8 (there was a 49 against the Dogs and a 63 against Sydney on two other occasions). He could easily hit 100 with Sam Mitchell feeding him the ball as well now.

Just needs to have the best season of his entire career to get there and not get injured for a change :P

But who will be feeding Sam Mitchell the ball?!  ;D

Played 20 & 21 games in 2014 & 2015, there is some hope.

I heard that with the treatment he had they never stop administering it. While it's been successful it's still a trial therapy so they don't know what happens when they stop it. One of the known side effects is fatigue. If that's legit the case they will manage his workload but it won't stop him from getting out there and playing. I can see him needing a freshen up as the season goes on but so do 95% of players nowdays and the Hawks have had this down to a tee in recent years.

The drugs he is having is actually no longer on trial, those have finished because they were so successful.  And he wouldn't be having the drug any more because he is complete remission.  He is having regular scans however in case it comes back.  I've worked with chemotherapies and immunotherapies for the last 9 years and the rep for those drugs came into work yesterday...

I feel like it could be a trap if I keep giving Rough a pass for 70's and 80's

Hawthorn clearly aren't as good, so it's looking like 90+ season long might be tough

Might even do Rough to WHE this week

Yeah its a tough one, he might just need a month to get going but its a bit of a risk. I would pull the trigger on the WHE trade
