Could Hogan replicate Jack Darling's rookie season of 2011?

Fitz on one wing watts on the other

If we end up having Hoges, Clark, Dawes and Fitz all down there at once is there a team in the league with a back line with enough height to combat that?

I don't know, but there are 17 teams that would easily take the ball out of that forward line as it is so top heavy.

Really liked what Fitzpatrick brought last year but as far as I'm concerned, if Clark plays Fitz doesn't.

I'm not sure Hogan down back at least some of the time is not such a bad thing. David NEITZ says playing on the likes of Carey and Jonathan Brown taught him more about forward play than 10 years of coaching. After all, Carey did famously say Neitz was the best CHB he played on, and I would argue, particularly in the last 5 years of his career Neitz was the most destructive forward in the competition.

hogan I think will in many ways be our modern day Neitz (and Clark playing a fit Schwartz, and Howe ROBBO), that is quite some combination.

I reckon you're timing is out by a fair whack...

And that for me means he is essentially trade bait.

But a great season in the VFL should actually raise his value on the trade table for next year.

one thing for sure is that we are all going to enjoy footy matches a lot more next year, when we get it inside 50 there will actually be some talent sitting under it instead of kicking it to absolutely nobody as we have gotten used to seeing. BRING IT ON

It is going to be an exciting season I reckon.

I'm sure someone has said that every year since 1965.

Sometimes you get to thinking that maybe Charlie Brown ought to be our mascot !!

Howe about this?

Dawes - Hogan - Byrnes

Trengove - Clark - Howe

Watts will play in the mid but can go forward instead of Howe

Fitzy can go up forward when Hogan is out

Not so sure. Fitz, Dawes and Clark are no slouches and will apply forward defensive pressure like we are totally unused to seeing from MFC talls, or indeed any group of tall forwards
