Mobile big bodied mid...more time for Daniel Howe?
This was my first thought, are we replacing a forward or a mid?
Out: Roughead
In: Howe
.
The fact that there is definitely a spot up for grabs should do wonders for the performances of those who are competing for it. May the best man win.
Its a set back no doubt but for every setback there is opportunity. Remember gunners going down in the qualifying it let schoey in to replace him. He took it with both hands. The good thing is he will be back for finalsThis is a significant blow for us.
Out: Roughead
In: Howe
O'Brien is nowhere near it and Howe has talent to burn. Souls also think that Burton will have a chance to impress in the preseason. Sicily, too.
It's over. Throw in the towel and see you next year.
We don't know Hawthorn without the Ruffster. From 2012 after the Achilles to now he has played 95 of the last 101 games that made up 4 seasons.
2012 he missed round 1 vs coll and round 20 vs port. Played 23/25.
2013 he played every game 25/25.
2014 he missed round 14 vs port and round 21 vs freo. He played 23/25 games.
2015 he missed round 14 vs coll and round 15 vs freo as they cut half his face off. He played 24/26 games.
He has played every final in the last 4 years. He has only missed 6 games. The man is a machine.
This bites bigtime.
Honestly are we just gonna pretend that swapping him for a Sicily or TOB mixture for half a freaking year will not seriously hurt us? So you've replaced a dude with 4 limbs with a dude with 4 limbs, but beyond that do the stats even vaguely compare? (let alone the versatility and leadership)
Rough in 24 games in 2015 averaged 19.3 disposals scoring 14pts with 1 hit out and 3 tackles.
Sicily in his 3 games averaged 12.6 disposals scoring 8 points with only 1 tackle per game.
That's Sicily playing in his optimum position, not trying replace roughead, not rucking nor playing as a mid, and not taking the better defenders etc, often with roughead on the ground.
Roughead even not playing always as a forward still smashes Scilly. And Sicily is better than TOB.
It's over folks.
No Hale no Roughy no Lake no flag.
It's a fourgone conclusion.

Yep a good opportunity to see who may "cut the mustard" as a permanent KPF.If it was a final, the key chioce to come in would be spangher. But given its early, there will be experimentation with young players
