Top Fwd Rooks

[Matt_352]

Thoughts guys, please specify if you have any different ones :)

Daniher - Too expensive and looks like more of a downgrade target later in the year
Mayes - Same story
Macaffer - Cash cow, good JS and should average 50-70 (locked)
Rowe - Got in the ruck to eventually sub with Cox in my forwards (locked)
Neade - Cheap and should have game time in a improving (the best) team (locked)
Lee - Cheap and has proven he can score goals, should manage some game time even most likely starting as a sub (locked)
Kennedy - Haven't been watching him

There's a bit of discussion here...

Neade, Lee, Paparone and Kennedy have some chance of playing Round 1 with Dwyer and Daniher at longer odds, but not impossible.

[Jukes]

Only going with Macaffer and Lee as my forward cheaps/rooks, in addition to Varcoe and Karnezis. There are pretty much no forward rooks this season- ruck rooks are better :P with Currie, Witts and Daw.

[tbagrocks]

If he plays enough games which is tricky at the pies, Kennedy easily, Sammy Kerridge will get a decent go at some stage and Josh Gwowden at GWS to be rotated through the squad if fit

Possibly Neade from Port but I don't see why they would rush him

[Noz]

Ben Newton is my smokie. Ben Newton will be given games this year can see him averaging 70.

Neade is a lot like that port fwd rook from a few seasons ago... Hitchcock I think! small body, crumbing fwd - will average between 60-70

only got Macaffer and Paparone at the moment at F7/8
Spangher might be coming in though if it looks like he/'s taking Suckling's spot

Hitchcock has struggled with injuries in the past season and has never gotten his body right, Even when he was fit he never really capitalised on the opportunity he was given, Neade is a slightly different player to Hitchcock.

Also might be something to note on Sam Mayes was close to best on ground in the magoos on the weekend.

[Pokerface]

Have just two right now - Caff and Spangher.

Spangher will certainly come into calculations now. Performed well on the weekend.

Laughed at him at the Eagles but thought he performed well at Sydney when he could stay on the park

[Noz]

Wouldn't Hawthorn choose to replace Suckling with another running defender and not a KPP?

[Artax]

He can be used in that role also. Suckling will be pretty hard to replace regardless I think

[Phasir]

Lee is my biggest lock so far.. him & the Caffer are the only ones in my team for now, but hopefully Rowe can get a run in the navy blue so I can bring him in, great AFL & personal story

[elephants]

Have Lee, Neade and Caff atm but would be keen to see Spang and Rowe get a round one call-up!

I'm with Artax, thought Spang was such a crab at WCE and Sydney but he's looked okay for the Hawks thus far.

[Phasir]

Spangher was good at taking good grabs when at WC, was solid however couldn't get a run of games due to injury & lots of key back depth competition.  Hopefully he can get some games at the Hawks, maybe even have some private lessons with Lakey :P
