Vickery goes at about 30 goals a season...bit better than I thought....

I've said before that Vickery will be someone who turns out to be a very important player for the hawks. Will be as good as Gunston if given the opportunity and healthy body.

Hawthorn will be pleased with his first up efforts; 10 disposals, 7 hitouts and 0 marks ...

Does everyone discount the possibility of Weitering playing forward?
With all the defensive cover I thought it more likely than not that he or potentially Marchbank would be in the forward line.
Backline:
Byrne/White | Rowe | Plow
Simmo | Marchbank | Doc
Also: A Silvagni/Sheehan
Forward line talls:
CCurnow | McKay | Cas | Weit | SOSOS
Smalls: Sumner | Lamb | Smedts | Palmer | Armfield | Pickett | Lebois | Wright | SPS
I think Weitering in that forward line adds a lot of class and makes it look pretty dangerous whilst not leaving the backline short handed.

Jeza I agree we'll have some other forward options. I posted this in 'predictions' thread.
We've heard a couple of the guys talk about training with more than one group. Sam Rowe was one. Personally I think we'll mix it up. Maybe see some master strokes by Bolts. What's it he says, get comfortable being uncomfortable. Until our future forward stocks develop, I think we'll improvise by creating less conventional options. Weitering, although a great defender, was reportedly known pre-draft to kick "everything from anywhere". I wouldn't be surprised to see him (or other tall/small combos), Rowe, or Marchbank rolling forward.

I happened to be at a friend's birthday party yesterday where I met an ex-AFL umpire who still knows a fair few AFL insiders. He was pretty adamant that Weitering will spend more than a bit of time playing forward this year. We'll see.

Tall forward options will be there - how permanent they are (probably apart from Casboult early on) is anyone's guess. Much depends on the young bodies, injury/illness, horses for courses, etc.
Casboult
McKay
C.Curnow
J.Silvagni
Weitering
Plowman
Rowe
Marchbank
Kreuzer
They'll all 'roll' through the forward line as the key talls.
In the magoos - Gorringe, Jones, Jaksch, Kerr, Macreadie.
This year, again, we'll watch and see who does what and how they all go about their footy, both at AFL and VFL levels.
Side note - I'm looking forward to the progress of a couple of rookies - Glass-McCasker and Lebois.

Jones and Jaksch will have to do something remarkable this year to hold a spot....Levi too i guess....

You look at the guys coming through and it's now or never for those 2. Jaksch may get a rookie spot somewhere else at best. Jones definitely done - if they don't produce something amazing this season. Hopefully they can pull their careers put of the fire!
