If I were to take him out, any suggestions on who should replace him?
I already have Laidler, KK, Cutler and Fuller.
Would have around $300k in the bank

While were discussing Hanley, Voss moved him to half forward last year when he was struggling with the tag, had a couple of games where he kicked multiple goals.
Whilst playing as a half forward he spent a lot of time basically playing as a midfielder. New coach this year makes it hard to know what they want from him but would seem to be able to play multiple positions.

Maverick Weller - 292k - STK. Really in two minds about including this guy in my side.... From the (limited) reports i've been reading it says he's been killing it in training however is he part of the saints best 22? (would really appreciate some saint supporters view on this and what they know about him), also is it too much or risky having both him and suckling as mid pricers!?!?...

No way he'll be a good sc scorer.
I love going for a risky player but I like to have a bit of history to go by if paying above 200k. Types like Weller and Docherty seem expensive to me for players with minimal game time.
I think the multiple vested Sutcliffe is more appealling as all he needs is an injury/great pre season to crack best 22 and you can be more confient we will go 80+ average

Not sure if it's been mentioned but Atley ($394k) looks like he'll be running through the mids this year as well.

It’s often been suggested as the likely next step in his development, but North and AFL fans alike would be excited to learn Shaun Atley is eyeing a push into the midfield in 2014.
Having earnt a reputation as a dashing defender, the 21-year-old’s natural athleticism should hold him in good stead through the centre.
“The challenge for me is to push up into the midfield hopefully and try hold down a role in there and not just be a one dimensional player,” Atley told the team on SEN.

"He'd effectively take Waters spot in my team".......
.... is that the spot of the injured Defender, that goes in and out of the team, before finally succumbing to a season ending injury?
I've had one or two of them in my team, every year, too. I Wonder who will fill that role for me this year?!

Unfortunately there's some truth to the above statement but I can't help but think Fisher still has something to offer and a 90-100 average is not impossible.
Finished the year with a bang as well. 130, 94, 121 with 23, 23 and 34 touches as well.
Only thing I don't like about him is he almost always has a job to do whereas, if we believe what they're saying about Fisher, he'll be able to just run around and try and get the ball lol. Not sure how long opposition teams will let that go on for though.
$430,300 which is $900 more than Swallow who I think most will go for at that price. Grimes is $436,500 and DPP.
