Rocket: There are 5 players at Williamstown i want playing seniors next year.

IMO, I think Hahn will be replaced in the forward line, with the forward line pressure coming from Harbrow and Ward.
Eagleton will miss out on regular opportunity, bring Gilbee onto the wing as a ball carrier especially with his exceptional kicking ability, that opens up for Everitt/O'Keefe to play on the back flank.
Welsh's position should be replaced with game time for Grant / Stack, kind of play them as a third tier forward such as Port did with the skinny Westoff.

Therefore: To come in Ward, Everitt, O'Keefe, Grant, and Stack.
To go out: Obviously West and Ray, then Hahn, Eagleton and Welsh

I agree generally with this but Hahn would still be getting a game even if he's replaced as a forward.

Do you even know what sort of player Stack is?

How is he coming along?

Re: Rocket: There are 5 players at Williamstown i want playing seniors next year.

My impression of Stack is that he is a leading forward? Is that wrong?

Totally wrong. At the moment he is playing a sweeping role accross half back with the odd stint on a wing.
Hahns toughness is critical in our side, wont be going anywhere near Willi providing he is fit.

He prefers to play on the HFF, but has been playing in the backline at Willi.

Yes and no. He played a lot across have back as Desipura mentioned but he does see himself more as a half forward flanker as he told Bornadog and myself.

Rocket sse him ultimately as a power forward leading from the square.

Shaun Burgoyne and a lot of good 'small' players have done very well playing that role. Mark Williams etc.

He's obviously not a tall key forward, but no reason why he can't still be a marking forward. I'd say Johnno is a marking forward, he's even shorter.

He is about the same height as Hill, but has a better leap, yes you read right, a better leap.

I have always highly rated Stack. I really like the kid, so many good things going for him if he can put them al together and play consistent footy.

But in all my adoration for him, i dont think i could ever call him a power forward. Perhaps a very creative forward flanker that could cause headaches, but never a power forward.

I really hope he gets some serious game time next year.
