Will Hodge be Top 6-10 defenders?

[YoungGun]

Hodge will be close to a bargain in a couple weeks and could be a good option to shore up back lines fielding 2 or more rookies

Will Hodge be in the top premo defenders come years end? Is having suckers mitchell hodge too many hawks defenders?

[jfitty]

I don't think that he will personally, definitely not on total points anyway as it is unlikely he will play a full season.

IMO in no particular order, the top 10 (average wise) will be:

Mitchell
McVeigh
Swallow
Hanley
Bartel
Simpson
Murphy
Hibberd
Thompson
Jaensch (calling it)

Plus guys like Shaw, Burgoyne, Smith, Mackie, Lumumba, Walker, Birchall and Malceski who could easily sneak in there.

[Typhnn]

you are forgetting

H.Taylor
C.Enright

both mid 90's ave players...

Ah yes! Add those to the list of maybes. Although Taylor's output has dropped off so far this year, Enright should still average just below 95.

[YoungGun]

in that case taking out the top 4 or so which may average 100, most of these options would average between 90-95 which i think Hodge can average as well?

[Jackross10]

I think Eski will be in there. In fact I am getting Malceski and Swallow next week to complete my defence haha.
It will be.

Mitchell Simpson Birchall Swallow Malceski Jaensch.

Maybe. Maybe.

[_wato]

Ill do my best to get him.

As its so close from 5-15 any one of them are great pickups. You can't go wrong as many will average around 95.

exactly what i was thinking wato, and hodge should have the benefit of winning most games and can be very influential on a match, currently have mitchell, mcveigh, swallow, suckers, lmac, langdon

going langdon to hodge in a week or too makes the backs seem so much more solid

I reckon Suckling could end up being a keeper if hawks keep dominating and he could easily reach a 90+ average!
