Hawks best team

[willo8]

Its a good problem to have but I seriously cant pick our best team in the event everyone is fit. I've had a crack. Would be interested to hear your thoughts.

B: Campbell Brown, Stephen Gilham, Brent Guerra
HB: Xavier Ellis, Trent Croad, Grant Birchall
C: Clinton Young, Sam Mitchell, Chance Bateman
HF: Shane Crawford, Lance Franklin, Michael Osborne
F: Cyril Rioli, Jarryd Roughead, Mark Williams
Foll: Simon Taylor, Brad Sewell, Luke Hodge
Int: Robert Campbell, Stuart Dew, Ben McGlynn, Jordan Lewis

Unlucky:
Stokes, Boyle, Tuck, Ladson, Clarke, Murphy, Bailey

[Chaddy chaddy bang bang]

Ladson has to be in there! surely?

[acca]

my thoughts exactly , ladson on the feild , and lewis must start as well other than that looks prety good , oh and campbell would be my first pick for ruck but thats it .

[Chaddy chaddy bang bang]

Nah leave lewis off hees a selfish retard, other than him the rest of the boys are primed!

Go Blues! Souljah boy tellem.

i'd have benny mcglynn on the field too. he add's a bit more hardness to the team cant wait to get him back, he's going in my dt as a smokie

Tayls is the better tap ruckman, robert campbell is way better around the field so i'd stay with taylor on the field to start off with.
All well and good to say you'd have lado in but who could you drop from that team. Surely not lewis.

Mcglynn made a few big mistakes hope he gets a chance for redemption.

[Chaddy chaddy bang bang]

xavier ellis = still maturing, mcglin = reatrd, dew = finished, williams = inconsistant.

You havent watched hawthorn in the last 3 years if ladson isnt in the team

Even i know he starts in the team and im carlton supporter, ladson not in wierd!

McGlynn is in the top five fittest blokes at the club, a tough competitor and genuine ball winner.

Williams IS consistent, averaging over three goals a game in the last few games puts him as one of the best small forwards in the leauges and probably hawthorns best set shot at goal. Plus he has expanded his game to make him a shoe in for selection in any team in the country save for possibly Geelong.

Xavier Ellis has fantastic skills and is a future leader of the club.

Dew justified his recruitment in the first two rounds and will no doubt prove to be a key aspect of hawthorns premiership aspirations in the next two to three years, possibly longer.

I have watched Hawthorn but I dont think Ladsons skills make him an automatic selection, even though i rate him highly. Ben Dixon has been an automatic selection for hawthorn for the last five years but he wouldnt come close to a selection in todays team in his prime.

Int: Robert Campbell, Stuart Dew, Jarryd Morton, Jordan Lewis

Unlucky:
Stokes, Boyle, Tuck, Ladson, Clarke, Murphy, Bailey, McGlynn

Reviewing my previous team i would drop McGlynn and keep morton who has looked great. Still no room for ladson who hasnt impressed me, tuck is a possible recruit.
