I don't see Hawthorn ahead of Adelaide, Sydney, GWS, Port, Richmond, Geelong, Essendon, Melbourne or the Bulldogs. For mine about where they were last year, around 8-10 wins tops.
Some quality additions to the line up coming back from injury, however still very reliant on a few guns to keep the back half in order and I think they'll struggle in the big man department in the middle and forward of centre.

Agree another big forward would be good. TIm O'Brien really need to own a spot in the forwards.
We do get Ceglar back this year who isn't brilliant but he is a competent ruck. I really want to see Pittonet start to command game time.
Frawley, Stratton and particularly Birchall would be great to get back, I'd like to see Burton up the field or forward.
Would be happy to see Lovell get an uninterrupted run at it too.

For a fair chunk of last year we were in the best 2 teams
The only question for me is how much of an impact losing Hodgey will have.
Gunston will play forward with Roughead, Breust, Rioli, Puopolo and Obrein/Sicily, the band wiill be back together.
Impey/Smith the outside runners
Defence will be sound enough, Stratton was a huge loss, Frawley, Birch, Hardwick and Burton very good
Midfield is our problem, but IF Jaeger plays 18 games we finish top 4 no doubt, probably need Langford or one of the rookies to have break out years

With roughy and burgoyne a year older, i cant see them continuing to have the impact they have had either.

Really? I must have been watching someone else then
Many another year closer to falling off the cliff
Main positive is the King Spud travelling the world instead of the VFL and teasing track

Liam Shields isn't the worst... he is better than a few of yours!

More on the wing though right? Smith and shield are good wingers but depth in the midfield I was more thinking

Think you will find Shields plays more mid than wing... we've got Hendo now
