Hawthorn Help

[Hawka]

Hey guys i know theres alot of threads goin around about players and there stats but if there is a hawks u want to know about il b more then happy to help
Just simply say the name and what you want to know :)

[Holz]

could be a little general but im interested in xavier ellis but im not sure how he will fit into the backline and even if he will, and how this will impact guys like suckling.

[Windigo]

A fit Ellis is a dominant Ellis.

A fit Ellis is a dominant Ellis.

Yea i agree with this statement
Though whether he can actually break into the best 22 for round 1 in another thing its hard to slot him in with players like Suckling,Birchall,Guerra and maybe even Puopolo playing a role that Ellis would play
I have no doubt he has great ability but i feel he is gona struggle for early games with all defenders fit
However i maybe wrong and Clarko may throw him in the deep end early on

Who do you think will have a better DT year out of Suckling and Birchall?  :P

[Hawka]

hmm its tough one both should play the same roles they played this year and both are fit and having good pre seasons
I just have a feeling Birch will take it to another level again this year ,But suckling may to so its a tough choice
Personally im going Birchall but there around the same price and at this stage u cant go wrong with either of them

How's Hodgey going? Any injury concerns?

Do you think he can increase his sc avg this year?

Thanks Hawka.

[me]

how's shiels going xD

[AndrewY]

I had puopolo last year for a good result. How do you feel he will go this year?

Wouldnt mind hearing what Hawka has to say about Poo meself. This guy helped me win my moneyleague GF.

Yeah im interested in whether you think any of the hawks backs predominately sucker and birch can outscore the likes of goddard delidio heppell adcock ?

Also Hodge, shiels  and Mitchell in the centre who will lift who will be the best pick.

*What I most want to know is your thoughts on is Jordan Lewis, picked as a fwd, so i dont expect him to achieve scores of elite midfielders but i am considering him as a uniquer fwd keeper how will he go DT wise SCwise AFL wise ???

Also what sort of value is smith at 400K and poops at wahtever he is i havent looked.

[Hawka]

Ok il cover Hodgey,Shiels and Puo and in this one and have a good think bout colliwobblers post :)

From what i have heard Hodgey is all good and no concerns on the track :)
i reckon with his SC average it could improve or stay around the same.Theres no way it will drop alot
Though i dont think Hodgey will improve a heap but we should still see good scores coming from him like we always have

Shielsy is a gun lol i love him and he is having a good pre season and we should expect more improvement from him
he is only goin to get better and he is only 20/21 i think ,In a few years i expect him to be one of the best scorers in DT im rely excited by him.Im gona have him this year and i recommend to others as well

Hmm Puo is a tough one was rely great last year for our teams
I do see improvement but is it enough to warrant a selection in our teams?
all good on the track though i dont think Puo is ready to move into the gun status and i dont think he ever will but he will still give u good scores

Q1Hey coach ur assistant here :P  will the hawks employ the same gameplan as last yr and continue try to control the ball and move it between backs to wait 4  an open forward line (i,e will the backs in the hawks still dominate or r teams going to be onto this gmeplan) or because they have a strong midfield and roughy coming back want to get the ball into the forwards quicker this yr??
Q2 franklin has a hard start to this yr would u gamble in not starting him, and using buddy as ur  1st upgrade around rd4
CMON THE MIGHTY DUTCH DINOS just pm me when u want work done m8

alrite
I think Birch and Suckers will out score the likes of Adcock and Heppell though im not sure on Deleido and Goddard as i dont see them getting well over 100 which i expect Lids And Goddard to get but still good picks but cant see were the extra 15+ points will come from

All are good picks for your Middie :)
But its pretty simple Mitchell will score the highest as we should expect more of the same from him this year but Shielsy is a good unique who should improve and out of those 3 should make the most improvement :)

Lewis was great last year and maybe an even better year is ahead .Though whether he can outscore players like Martin or Sidebottom who also have the DDP status is questionable
Though he is a unique and a keeper if u do decide to go with him :)..but alot of us will have buddy too

Im hope that helps a bit will do Pickers 2moro :)

[Colliwobblers]

that does and well said, i have sidebottom and martin and its zaka or lewis for the fourth (buddy being the 1st) christensen being the 5th.

I had a lot of hawks last season - suckling guera (yeah guera :) ) mitchell smith puopolo buddy and not one of them let me down, this season i have picked a team and I do not have a single hawk in it except for buddy.

Now that concerns me since they will be a top 4 side at least.

But I cant find where and who and what other hawks to pick given the players avaialable......
