One an inside mid, one a lock down small defender
Amon was a half back, this extract from the official Hawks website
Gresham a small forward, Day a mid capable of filling in anywhere else
Really solid effort. As others said Moore in Menzies out. More concerning though is that Sicily is better as the third tall. You really need Blanck or someone for structure, McGrath to the bench. I would also put amon on a wing and Durham to the bench and switch newcombe at merrett's positions. Switch Langford and Lewis as well. But overall I think you have done really well.
Looking back on this, we could alternatie that back 6 to look like this;
I know we over rate our own but c'mon man
I'd pick Caldwell over Nash and Worpel. I think he is a more damaging and classy mid. In my view, he is primed for a breakout season.
For me it is the eye test that separates Caldwell from Nash and Worpel. He just moves and looks like a class above and I think he will progress over the next couple of years to reach a level or two above those two who will be and are good honest footballers.
Yet there was 9 straight finals wins before that (3 of which were grand finals)
Only 6 straight. We lost to West Coast in the QF in 2015
What losers!
Will be interesting what his role is.
You’ll be rethinking your omission of Durham very quickly I reckon. Bias might come into it, but I’m taking McGrath over Hardwick now that he’s settled back there.
Durham is a lock and will be rotating through the midfield. He will be an impact player in every role he plays and has the endurance to switch roles without being benched. He is the player with the highest ceiling of our unfulfilled players with maybe only Perkins is in the same ball park.
