*Hughes is the only one I am iffy about.

It's there if he wants it, let's hope he does.

If there was one player I had to choose on the list who could make a real difference if he stands up, it would be Cleve 'Clean Knees' Hughes. Sadly I don't see it happening because whilst he has some talent, he just simply works nowhere near enough to ever be a convincing KPF. I think I'll be redirecting some of that hope towards J.Post.

Couldn't have said it better myself MM.  Mr Post has me a little bit excited - in the right kind of way!!!!   :o  (Not that there's anything wrong with that)

The FF position is the one that someone needs to grab. Cleve needs to stand up otherwise the younger talls will bypass him.

This gets tougher each time you do it.

B:    McGuane   Thursty   Tambling
HB:  Newman    Moore     McMahon
C:    Richo        Deledio    Cotchin
HF:  Brown      Riewoldt     White
F:    Bowden     Hughes     Morton
R:   Simmonds    Tuck     Foley

Int: Graham, Cousins, Edwards, Coughlan

Emg: Connors, Schulz, Post

No Raines MT? Bling or White may be moved to the middle with Cotchin injuried leaving Raines down in the backpocket. Graham and Cogs will have to work hard in the NAB games to earn their places. It will be interesting to see who drops out when Johnson returns from injury. I'm also assuming Hislop will get a game in the forwardline sooner rather than later which may leave Brown or even Bowden feeling the pinch....

It is getting harder

It sure is getting harder which is great to see  :thumbsup.

The interesting thing about Sugar IMO, is will he be able to force his way back into the side based purely on his playing merit.  If we get off to a flyer without him and there are no injuries relevant to his position it may be a struggle for him to get back in.
