Hawker's 2019 Team

[Hawker_08]

G'day fellas. Few things I'm concerned about and would love your thoughts:

Will Williams affect Whitfields scoring as he will be GWS's preferred ball carrier out of defence?
Who is the next best option - hurn or crisp?
Any chance of BCrouch being a keeper - he is an awkward price. If not, is he worth it or is libba better value, or even cousins/butters
Will Coniglio take his game to the next level without Shiel and outscore MCrouch and Angus Brayshaw?

As always, thanks in advance!

Deep midfield and skinny down back, I like that philosophy.

I would prefer Libba over Crouch. Other than that, solid Rd1 team.

Thanks mate. Yeah I think that is the way to go this year with so much uncertainty in both the forward and defence lines with regards to top 10 scorers.

Also, I don't really understand the hype around libba. Can someone please explain!!
He hasn't played a full season since 2014 and imo there is too much competition in the dogs mids this year with Bont, Macrae, McLean, Dunkley, Wallis that I think he will spend a fair bit of time down forward. Can't really see him averaging more than 90-95, or is that what people are hoping for/expecting and to use him as a stepping stone.
BCrouch on the other hand will play almost exclusively in the midfield and sloane and gibbs will be the ones to rotate forward. Based on JLT form and scoring, I can see him pushing a 105 average and being a perfect M9, hence, saving trades.

If you consider B Crouch as a keeper then you will have 8 of your keepers with the Rd 14 bye. So need to keep an eye on that. Apart from that do not mind the side.

Libba may not have played a full season since 2014 but just remember he went 110 that season and 106 the season before that. Yes he has been unlucky with injury but at 300k for a guy who has that ceiling and the way he has been tearing up the pre season it's a no brainer. Crouch has had his own injury concerns as well and has never played a full season or ever averaged 100 so at $100k more their is far more risk with selecting him over Libba imo. I think they are both good picks this year however that round 14 bye is a killer so Libba just fits the structure better. Could use that extra $100k to upgrade Greene or get some expensive rookies

Nice side btw, I also have the same structure haha GL to you!  8)

Very bye heavy during the rd that has gws Adelaide etc. May need to look to fix that up sooner rather than later
