he is one that I am very interested in seeing take the next step upWonder how close Atkins will be if his form is as good or better than last year, would've been called up if he had've been on the list.
Best position FP?
You forgot StewartB: Bews, Blicavs , Henry
HB: Clark, Henderson, cockatoo
C Guthrie, Selwood, Duncan
HF Dahlhaus, menongola, parfitt
F Rohan, hawkins, Ablett
Foll: Stanley, Dangerfield, kelly
Int: narkle, touhy, rata, cunico
Yes sorry about that. Just noticed!You forgot Stewart
And for enough tbh. Even when making the hard calls on guys like Taylor/Kolo (which I don't necessarily agree with) it's hard to fit enough defenders in. Pretty clearly our deepest line.Yes sorry about that. Just noticed!
What are people thinking about Atkins as the small pressure forward?
I mean he was the tackling beast of the VFL system... But is he creative enough to pile on goals?
I think he was used up the ground in the VFL. Just wondering if he played deeper attack.
Sounds like Atkins will pushing hard to secure a spot ....
not sure where there seems to be plenty of positive vibe about him ...

Defensive forward i think. Tough team to break into but hes a R1 chance.
Not really a tough forwardline to break into imo it's really a raffle atm.
There's no standout small forwards atm so he's a big chance imho.
He's a strong solid unit so physically ready to go. I like his chances.
Dahlhaus is a standout but the 2nd small forward spot beside him is up for grabs and we have many options.
Sorry mate, but some of us like evidence to support our arguments. The alternative touted by self announced footy experts is that they are right by virtue of their superior eyes, apparently.I know because I witness a large portion of your posts being stat based to rate players.
Firstly, Cunico played his AFL footy on a wing and the other 3 you're comparing have spent the majority of their time forward, so perspective in that regard needs to be considered, not just measuring their possession numbers as a means to rating one over the others.
Any evidence to suggest that Ratugolea would be better at the job than Hawkins? I mean the games he played up the ground last year were some of Tom's best. Or is this just another case of writing off a player because they have hit 30?Don't see Hawkins coming out of FF now at 30 years of age,let the younger Ratagolea do the hard yards at CHF getting up and down the ground,we need to squeeze every year we can out of Hawkins now.

You are jumping at shadows.Let's hope it remains that way...

I dont get why this would be a problem.. I think he knows that he is here for the season..its not like he can have a mid season trade. Even the other half should be able to strap on and buckle up to last for another 9 months with the knowledge that all the noise doesn't make it easier to get a trade done but harder. Maybe that changes if he gets an injury that has him sidelined and out for the year but while he is playing its serves no purpose to be anything other than the best he can be.What happens if Kelly gets the sulks? Do they continue to play him or pick Clark or Constable? I will be very interested to see if he has the same drive in 2019? It will make an enormous difference to the make up of our best side IMO.
