Role was ok.

(UPDATE - Both Phillips and Manginess have been named in both squads. Not many Hawks players are named in the Box Hill side. Interesting how this one plays out)

Both Ethan Phillips $102k (DEF) and Finn Manginess have been named in the Box Hill squad rather than Hawthorns.

Concerning for Phillips and his chances of being ahead of Sam Frost

looking slimmer and slimmer.

Finn Manginess not in the squad at all even with Days absence suggests Sam Mitchell may be swaying away from the tag. Potentially something to consider in the starting Nick Daicos $650k (DEF/MID) or not discussion.

I think this is also hugely positive for Henry Hustwaite $184k (MID). The wraps on this kid coming out of Waverley are huge, a 195cm midfielder who has it all. Could be a genuine on field rookie for us and currently only in 3% of sides.

Okay, you can stop now Touk...

Mid/Fwd Touk would be nice Round 7

[doggies ftw]

Sexton looks like a lock right now, great role for a F8

Turnover merchant, but gotta pick him at that price and fwd eligibility.

It is a pretty poor game this one and there hasn't been many standout players. Hopefully he improves his DE between now and the start of the season but at F7 he should make plenty of cash early.

F6 if he's still got this role round 1. It's an absolute pisstake.

 

[Keno1991]

Flanders looks good enough for me

 

[doggies ftw]

Yep, in my current build I’ve got Fyfe F1

But think I’m gonna have to make way to get Flanders back in, bye round 3 is annoying though

R3 bye should be ok if you don’t have any GWS premos

 

[Spacedog]

Sexton is this year’s constable. Absolute spud

[A Bit Dusty]

He looks really good very tempting at $300k

 

[King_Steele]

He looks really good very tempting at $300k

Reckon he would be a good pick if you’re not starting Naicos. Easy flip

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Interested in Himmelberg's role.

Elliot Himmelberg will spend the whole season in the SANFL .....put your glasses away

 

[WaynesWorld19]
