Really all depends on what the new coach plays him as, but cant see him averaging anywhere near Suckling

Wow! The similarities are unbelieveable!

Don't forget the prices were all diferent last year; adjusted for the fact our squads had 33, not 30.

Hawks finished top 4 in 2011, Dogs won't make top 11.  A very risky pick IMO. I had him last year..... pretty sure he'll improve his average considerably but you're likely to get stuck with a guy averaging something in the 60's.....

He should lift his avg to about 65 but 70 at the most. I doubt he'll get as high as Suckling has this year.

[Torress]

simply a no.

dogs are no where near as good as the hawks. alot of hawks benefited from this gamestyle. but i can't see as many dogs benefiting from this gamestyle as they are no where near as good on a whole. i think howard will get more ball but to the scoring extent of suckling i think not!

Suckling has a dynamite left foot and was used as the outlet man from the backline, don't think Howard has the same skills. Also running with a Lake & Hargrave back line. Unless someone can point out why Conca a would be better....

No, he can not. Not while Murphy is still in the team.

None of your rookies will be top 7 in their respective positions. Why have them?
TO MAKE MONEY, that's why.

Everyone said that suckling wouldnt average what he did last year either ;-)

[Ziplock]

that's a lie cortez

nobody was speaking about suckling last year :P

those that were considering him kept him close to their chest, nobody else said squat :P

sucklings name popped up in the sc gold preseason review last year. i think it was that calvin bloke who wrote a big rap on him and said he was a must have, thats why i gave him a crack
