It does have a nice look to it, although I'd like to see one of our young key forwards sitting in the pocket learning the trade.

[Cyberdoggie]

A genuine tall in our forward will either be the end for Hahn or a new beginning.

We rely on a quick and versatile forward line that can push up into the middle. By adding Barry Hall we have changed this setup. hahn could possibly make way for team balance or he could benefit from having the big guy there. Time will tell.

[Sedat]

I'd like to see another defensive-minded small/mid forward in there - someone like a Rooke or McQualter type to be absolutely ferocious at keeping the ball in our forward 50.

[LostDoggy]

I think that we can get an extra year out of Johnno with big Bazza taking some heat off him

I don't like it, too old. We need a young pacey forward pocket with some very good defensive skills.

[LostDoggy]

The trade period is not over yet. There may still be some slight changes. Maybe the only way we have managed to get the Lake deal done is that we know we can move on another player and put some of that money to Lake.

**Disclaimer - based on no factual information, just a theory I have.

That said, it is looking like a quite dangerous forward line. Wouldn't mind seeing Higgins down there poaching some goals too!

Woof rumours only

[LostDoggy]

Whom do you suggest?

Trade for one (even though it's the devil's work) or make Addison a permanent forward pocket or give Lynch a go?

Aker on the bench?

Who takes Harbrow's spot in the backline - Stack?

I think Harbrow has done too well in the backline for this move to occur, Stack should be working towards becoming that piece of the puzzle in our forward line.

Yes we do lack an ideal player, however, maybe a Stack or even Lynch (if he improves), could work. Addison is not a forward and I can't see him playing there.

Hill?

Assuming Cooney's knee problem is resolved I would like to see him spend more time 'resting' down forward in 2010, not dissimilar to GAJ for the Catters in 2009 and Griff. more time in the midfield.
