Even the most avid Hawks supporter will acknowledge your ruck is poor, arguably the worst in the league and your backline can struggle. When Murphy gets a gig in a team......trouble. Stratton, Shooey and Gilham can be very good, but your backline has holes......though so do the Saints, so no issue if your midfield functions defensively.We'll see... Plenty of footy experts are saying we are the biggest danger to Collingwood this year.
Apparently its not on the back of our Ruck division or our backline....
Your system was very well built in 2008, but 2011 sees a different game and it will be interesting to see a healthy Hawks squad now in comparrison to then.
All up in the air at this stage, for every team.
