Hawthorn's Best 22 for 2014

[quinny88]

Come on down Cotch, you can have 1mil buddy dollars a year for 13 years!

Haha look elsewhere!
Wouldn't be surprised to see you go after Martin in a couple of years time though. Clearly keen on playing elsewhere and will go wherever the dollars are

We will buy Dusty with Hodge money!

[Mr.Craig]

I know we've been keen on Mundy for ages but I hope we target someone more in the 23-26 bracket.

Hodge money, buddy money, Mitchell money. Can see why you're a happy team at hawthorn

Yeah he would be nearly 30 himself by the time he got to you. I think you guys need a young fella to build the midfield around

[kilbluff1985]

nah needs to be a lefty

[Noz]

I know you guys are thinking of grabbing Boak but you just leave him alone.

Boak wouldn't go surely. Rejected a really good offer from Geelong and is now captain

[JBs-Hawks]

Can we have Wingard then? :P

If you're gonna go for Wingard you may as well just get Martin instead because he's better hey Noz  ;D :P

[Noz]

Clearly no club in the AFL apart from Richmond want Martin after his failed attempt to leave this off season.

I can however see Hawthorn making a big play for Bryce Gibbs

[specky92]

Essendon were keen on Dusty I'm pretty sure

[TeeJay]

A lot of teams were keen on dusty they just weren't keen on the price tag he was asking.

B: Shoenmakers, Lake, Stratton
HB: Birchall, Gibson, Burgoyne
C: Smith, Mitchell, Lewis

Fol: McEvoy, Sewell, Hodge
I/C: Suckling, Shiels, Anderson, Hill

Emer: Hallahan, Duryea, Grimley


Thoughts?

My best 22:

B: Burgoyne, Lake, Gibson
HB: Birchall, Stratton, Suckling
C: Smith, Mitchell, Hill
HF: Breust, Gunston, Rioli
FF: Schoenmakers, Roughead, Puopolo

Fol: McEvoy, Sewell, Hodge
I/C: Hale, Lewis, Shiels, Anderson

Emer: Duryea, Grimley, Garlett

I don't think we needs Schoey in defence. (a) because he's crap at it, (b) because McEvoy will drift to CHB and take intercept marks to help out, and (c) because he's crap at it. Did I mention Schoey is crap at defending?

Everyone will key on Gunston now because of his gun finals series, so Clarko can play Gunston up the ground like Buddy so that Schoey can drift about in the Gunston 2013 role this year and do the same thing, hopefully.

I like Garlett to play half the games with a bit of vest work, like Anderson did this year. Anderson should hopefully play most games, with he and Shiels starting in green and McEvoy getting the red most of all.

Looking forward to the third flag, like Geelong won one after GAJ left.

You reckon Big Boy will be subbed off regularly m0nts?! :o
