Good get :)

Embrace Hawthorn, James. And Hawthorn will embrace you.

Mr.Craig · October 06, 2014, 05:49:15 PM

B: Gibson, Lake, Spangher
HB: Stratton, Frawley, Birchall

Then we've got Suckling, Duryea, Shoey, Litherland and our depth players.

Our backline used to be the laughing stock of the AFL. Now it looks beastly. Well, it already did before Frawley but still. :P

I think we need a tight shut down type in there too.

For guys like Ballantyne, Gray, Monfries ie the cheeky little forwards.

Duryea seems the most likely.

Who do other teams have for that role? I can't even think.

I think Stratton will start doing that. He's one of our best 1 on 1 defenders, more than capable of that job.

I think it was Stratton that went to Wingard a few weeks back and absolutely destroyed him bar the last quarter.

Baguley, Nick Smith, Sutcliffe, Cats have a few, Morris

just a few off the top of my head

Oh haha. :P Who did Stratton go to?

Mr.Craig · October 06, 2014, 07:22:02 PM

The commentators kept saying Lake was on Wingard, but it was actually Stratton doing most of the work.

Very nice get. Shoenmakers to get traded?

Where does Suckers and Duryea fit in then?

Bench. Suckers further up the ground and Duryea when dealing with smaller forward lines.
