Changed.

We have very little young forwards floating around. I wish we just gave pick 1 for Judd and kept JK.

Oh well.

 

[SuperHooper]

Current (I rate this the best spine in the competition)

FB: Daniel "sauce head" Merret
CHB: Patfull
Centre: Simon Black
CHF : Brown
FF : Bradshaw

Future.

FB: Daniel "sauce head" Merret
CHB: Patfull/Tyler/Collier
Centre: Rich/Proud
CHF : Henderson
FF : Mitch Clark

 

[Spikey]

Fevola is 27. Too old to be put in the future category.

He's still got 5 years in him at least.

Watson should still be in the centre

Trying to think oh no we are in trouble

 

[KamakazeSalami]

The team's response to Barry Hall's KO of Brent Staker would suggest we sadly are lacking one at the moment...

Reid

Reid is definitely the hope for CHB. Otherwise our only other hope is Anthony to full back and Brown to CHB. I'd say our first pick next year will be a key position back....espcially with a shallow draft you'd think the kpp's will go early.



Hopefully our future midfield next year will have the names Sidebottom and Beams as well.

I was a little shitty we went for Rounds over Lisle this year. It's my hope that Reid will become our CHB

Current:

Future:

[Houli2Gumbleton]

Watson should still be in the centre

I know he would still be there, but i am looking at players under 23.

 

[Tambu]

Hawks are looking good.

Amen. I can see us trading our first round pick for a young gun forward at the end of 09.

[SunKing]

Future.

FB: Daniel "sauce head" Merret
CHB: Patfull/Tyler/Collier
Centre: Rich/Proud
CHF : Henderson
FF : Mitch Clark

Could also throw Cornelius down at CHB in the future.

 

[DaVe86]

The spine is vitally important....but is it overrated?

No use having a good spine if the depth in the 22 is average. You also don't need to have the best spine to win a flag. Hawks probably lacked a full back, Cats a full forward.

Plus the onball division is just as important as the spine.



But i think when teams are recruiting, the first thing they look to fill is the spine and they build the team around that.

Not really in trouble. Fevola still has five years in him. This gives you five years to draft one. Also Fevola will still be around when u guys are in ur dominating period.
