Chaplin is a free agent and looks to leave port do we want him for that tall defender or key leaving Gibson to run free in the backline to support schoenmakers  or act as the spare man in defence :)

yeah I heard that too mate but honestly I think the hawks need him more, The hawks lack key defenders and chaplin could work well mate

Justin Bieber

Give Shoey a year in the gym and wait to see if we win the premiership first...

the flying hawk

oh no I wasn't saying get rid of schoe nah what I mean is chaplin play as the key defenders and Gibson is the spare man or the support :)

Justin Bieber

I know... I'm saying if we win this year with shoe and gibbo then we don't need him.

Definitely don't need Chaplin. He's too similar to our current defenders, Gibson in particular. If we are going to bring in a defender it has to someone bigger in build to match up on the big forwards of the league like Hawkins.

Plus Chaplin's skills wouldn't cut it in our game plan.

the flying hawk

well our only hope to match up on hawkins is to build up schoe's frame to the max

I think our outside mids is more a pressing concern. Either we look to trade for an out of favor sprinter with exceptional left foot kicking skills or look to draft another indigenous mid with the 1st pick. ( Hill and Wangers coming along beautifully). Need to support smith and young and aids player management. As a club overall we are the best at player recovery.

Schoe still 21 will be incredible.....we can look forward to many more schoe v hawk battles. Schoey starting to hold his own 1on1 there's less reliance on Gibbo or Stratts to come 3rd man up. I don't think there is an immediate need for a Chaplin... we will probably draft a defender.

Savage will be a gun outside mid, just wait :)

Hawka

the future is bright in the outside mid/ aboriginal middes
we got Hill,Wanga,Hallahan,Schinder,Woodward

Oh yeah, this kiwi's a gun!! Agree can't wait till he explodes. Have to admit has disappointed me a bit this year with his goal finishing. I think he was much more accurate last year or maybe my expectations are too high. ;)

Savage will be a important player when the likes of bugoyne, mitchell, sewell retire :)
