Retired #26: Cale Hooker - Has announced his retirement at season's end 🍷

[Runk]

I'd say hes about 33/1 to play round 1 - Isn't even with the main training group yet so will be a long way behind.Besides - he's too important to risk given his versatility and ability to play as a key forward

33/1?

Is that SportsBet or Ladbrokes?

Gwilt is 190 cm. Pears is 191 cm.

Gwilt's 188.

I Want Us To Pick Up Leigh Adams Because I Spoke To Him Once, and Enjoyed Talking To Him

I want us to pick up Giles because he has had 3 brownlow votes twice in his.... dammit.

Difference is Adams is a potato and Pears is not.

Incorrect. Where do you get your facts from? I'm 187 and he was at least an inch taller, without factoring in the hair.

We're not comparing spuds to pears are we?

The Essendon site. Have a gander.

 

[Bomberblitz15]

Perhaps you should check your facts Eth.

The same Essendon website that listed Jarrod Atkinson as 193cm and Patrick Ambrose as 185cm (the bloke is 2 inches taller than me, closer to 193cm)? No wonder you suck at this.

Check all the sites mate. They corroborate my comment. Yours don't.

Every page on the net has Gwilt at 188. I've checked.

Why u lieing?

I think the set-up next year (Jake will stay or I'll eat my hat) will look something like this-
Baguley, Hurley, Pears (gun defender, far more deserving of a spot than Gwilt)
Hibberd, Carlisle, Browne
Stanton, Watson, Goddard
Zaharakis, Daniher, Zerrett
Edwards, Hooker, Langford
Fol- Belly, Heppell, Hocking

Int- Laverde, McKernan, Myers, Jerrett

Some very stiff to miss, I.e Nobby, Dempsey, Fantasia, Milkshake, Kommer, Cooney (maybe) and the Irishman (could be the best of the lot).

I like this team a lot, but are you worried about the one-paced nature of the midfield, especially with Goddard and Stanton playing in the ''outside'' roles? I'd like to swap Goddard to a HBF and Browne spending more time on the wings next year.

Also, we desperately need a new number one ruckman, I have no faith in belly anymore

Find the last page on Google? Only checked the first five haha. Consensus says he's 188.

Yeah the midfield does look a bit slow but I think if Zaka regains his zip then Browne, Laverde, Edwards and Colyer (how the hell did I forget him!) will give us enough outside dash. I think Belly can easily be our number one, we weren't disgraced in the middle when he was injured but when he's fit I think he's our go to ruckman.

Cake Hooker is acceptable.

That's not the picture I had in mind.

 

[Zach Package]

Well.

I'm out.

I'm looking at this 4 hours later, I wasn't even in and I'm still out

 

[yaco55]

Hooker is averaging 4 to 5 shots for goal per game which is above average by AFL standards.

He is doing his job.

No doubt. Hes doing great, and by all means the team thing by playing forward.

But hes one of the best defenders in the comp also. Him forward isnt long term.

Apparently Carlisle played FB in match simulation today.
