Which defender for Birchall?

[nrich102]

get Hanley

[littleblueboy2906]

Can't go wrong with either, Id go in this order

Hanley > Hibberd > Ibbotson > Ellis

[Jesty]

Any chance Lake will get more touches with Birch out.

[mmurphy3]

Thanks but why Hanley has been in bad form and is in a new a position.

I'm sure Vossy won't keep him in that spot for the rest of the year. He's input of halfback is incredible so it'd be crazy for him to keep him quiet in a forward pocket. Has a mad run home with GWS, GC, Melbourne, Richmond, WB, St Kilda, NM, Port Adelaide aswell as Geelong, not in that order though.

if people are considering Hanley then I'd wait, he could drop another 50k. If people are in a position to cover this week then I'd be taking a wait a see approach.

Seems to be finding some form avg of 104 in 2010 with 22 games so he is capable.

OP it makes me happy that you probably have to keep hartlett now.

Don't think Murph is in that position mate. May aswell take a punt on a bloke who has averaged well over 100 taking away his two lowest games, and in a side with a good run home.
He's only $435,000 mate, and only $15,000 upgrade from Birch. Definitely worth it, as Hawks shouldn't tag him this game. They don't really tag from what I know of?

[mmurphy3]

thanks buddy hanley the way to go ;)

[HotTiges]

Should be a sticky thread for all of us birch owners.i can afford anyone upto 490k but I'm not doing a double trade to get heater in.

Current backline
Goddard Gibbs Hartlett Birchall goodes vlastuin (Terlich Thurlow)

[Jroo]

Ibbotson. I'm not sold on Hanley, he's been shower for the last three games and doesn't seem to be able to handle a tag. Ibbotson is in great form.

[Carn]

Can someone tell me something about Hombsch?
Scores of 121, 93, 101 in the last 3. Just saying.
