IF THERE'S one thing The Traders can agree on, it's that the forward line is causing them the biggest headaches this pre-season.
Just two players with forward status averaged more than 90 last season. Jack Macrae is tipped to remain as the top of the line, but are there some question marks over the Bulldog?
Can Sam Flanders continue his epic end-of-season form and come out on top? The Sun joins The Traders on the latest episode of the podcast as he discusses his pre-season and delivers some intel on his teammates.
Value appears to be the play when selecting forwards. Taylor Adams and James Jordon are popular, but they have an early bye. Do we wind back the clock and consider Nat Fyfe if he's getting more midfield time?
At least we’ve got Harley Reid as a lock.
Roy, Calvin and Warnie answer your questions about the hardest position to pick in Classic and one they are far from convinced on with their Draft rankings.
