3 Hawks in Defence

[TomK]

Is having all of Mitchell, Birchall and Suckling in the same team too much?

[Adamant]

I don't think so, remember that we had Goddard, Heppell and Hibberd last year all scoring well in the same side. I'm viewing Mitchell as a midfielder anyway so really down back it's just Birch and Suckling.

I was actually thinking of including Hodge as well but four is probably a bit excessive. :P

For byes, it could be difficult, but no more difficult than having any other set of three round 9 players in defence.

I see no issue with it if they're all scoring well. I think most people will have Mitchell and Suckling.

No worries at all, I had 3 hawks in defence at one point and as long as you don't have way more R9 byes overall it should be fine. I for one have somehow managed 4 R9 byes onfield in my forward line  ::) but only 10 overall

An easy way of getting away with this strat is to switch mitchell into the mids for round 9 then back again in round 10. Very few decent mids with a round 9 bye so it should work well

[SydneyRox]

too many.

3 players from any team in any line, too many

I'll bite... why?

[TomK]

too many.

So you aren't going to have Swan, Pendles and Beams by the end of the season then?

[TomK]

Now that Langford looks like a likely round 1 starter, is there room for him also? Four just seems too much.

not a big deal at all, if they all score well who cares...

+1 I have these three for the start

Exactly, if they are getting you what's required it doesn't matter

[Ricochet]

Not a problem at all. With 2 trades a week Suckers will probably be gone by the byes. Deal with them then

[n4cr123]

No issue a all as long as you check your lines for the byes :)

[blues boy]

Can almost afford to have 4 now since langford looks a certain starter for round 1
