This would be an intimadating forward line, with higgins and Johnno hitting the packs for the loose ball, and I like griff at half back running the lines.
They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

Interesting that everybody is picking Hall out of position (vs his career to date).
Is it because the Swans got it wrong or because we don't have an alternative FF?
IIRC, last season when the wheels fell off us eg v West Coast things broke down on the HF line. Leaving Hall at FF means we miss on the benefits of his pretty good mobility.
If we want to get really technical, his position is actually probably in between full forward & CHF, a bit like Tredrea, where's they both lead up the ground just like a true CHF would do, but also play alot closer to goal as well.
When the Dogs have played against Hall, Lake takes him, and Lake is regarded more as a Full Back rather than CHF in the true sense, and in todays games, real positions don't mean a hell of a lot with th amount of position changes anyway.
I would have thought when naming the side on paper, most people would have had Hall at Sydney jotted down in the FF position rather than CHF, with Micky O more a flanker / FP, Nick Davis in a pocket in the peak of their powers.

Best 22 is rarely on the park so depth will be critical, interesting to note the 3 emergencies could be anything but it's up to them. Hopefully by the end of the year they will have turned a corner and forced someone in the best 22 out. Certainly would be a good headache to have.
I'll have a look at adding a side later but I'm surprised that Hill isn't getting a better go of it. Sure he fell away at the end of the season and hasn't had the best off season but for a guy that was played out of position I think he is still a great option for us.

Agreed, but I think posters are probably basing their sides around the condition Hill has returned in. He's got plenty of time to turn it around but his attitude isn't where it needs to be.
I'll add one later too but I think Hill should be played on a wing.
I want Hill to be really fit so he can cover a lot of ground.
I want Hahn to be uninjured so he can be at his best. We have enough forward options that we dont need to play him half fit
I want Picken to improve his ability to win the ball.

damn, that is a strong team.

williams: marko
hmm, now I know why I am very glad to retain everitt. Fantastic utility and I could see him being able to slot in on any flank but I favour him in the forward half due to his ability to kick a long running goal.
could be everitts year, remember gilbee wanted to be traded when eade first came to the club?
