You're far kinder than I am describing them!
I like him as a player and it seems to be his spot to lose but I always fear that type at Hawthorn as even after getting rid of a couple they have an awful lot of those rebounding defender/wing types and they also use a few of their young genuine mids on wings also.
I expect their round 1 team looks like:
B: Impey Phillips Frost
HB: Amon Sicily Scrimshaw
C: D'Ambrosio Newcombe Mackenzie
HF: Moore (if fit) Lewis Watson
F: Ginnivan Chol Breust
R: Reeves Nash Worpel
Int: Macdonald Hardwick Maginness Hustwaite Ward
Bench is more or less in order of selection, imo.
I wouldn't be playing Gunston but he definitely could be picked.
They have Morrison, Jiath (4-6), Day (sounds like a month), Weddle and Mitchell that will all be fighting for those positions. Day I think pushes our Hustwaite/Ward. Jiath seems like it would be D'Ambrosio/Mackenzie/Maginness. There's a couple of the kids who could also push for a chance.
Basically I think he gets a couple of weeks and if he plays well, he gets a couple more but definitely not a clear best 22 guy yet.
If he was 100k cheaper I'd consider but he's priced in that real no man's land and I'd just be so surprised if he could push keeper numbers given his ball use. No real idea how the Tigers will play stylistically either. Worth watching today though to see what he produces. I'm not sure what could convince me to start him but he's not completely out yet still!
Por que no los dos?
Good for Howes. The second he went down from that mechanism that's all I thought it would be. Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery for Bowey.

He can't kick, he can't play any other position and they've got Laird, Dawson and then Crouch returned. He played crap the first few round so they gave Soligo, Rachele, Schoenberg, Keays and then Crouch the chance. With Rankine also going through there just got starved out.
What he does, he does very well and he can really score for fantasy. It's just hard to see where he really fits in with Laird, Dawson and Crouch and then Rankine to also push through, feels like the leftover still. Might be a really solid pick though, Crows play annoyingly late in the round for a guy who is semi-structural price wise.
Definitely an option though. If he's improved his disposal then that would seriously help his cause as it's been a major issue. Same way that Keays, despite his ability to win and hunt the pill and man, can't sustain a midfield role because of it. Nicks clearly values disposal from his mids.

I've had Livingstone there since I picked Jackson. If Naismith makes it to a third game, I'll trade him in for the cash but I don't expect him to get there early in the season, they've been saying Nank for round 1 for a couple of weeks now so seems pretty likely. Plus, a huge part of Jackson's value is that he covers for Grundy and Gawn so makes sense to have that open.
Would obviously take Sweet if he somehow ended up the R1 without Soldo but he wont, so I feel safe planning around that.
