Played jr footy with 2 of the four, one is a gun...will dominate on the big dry decks up there, very quick and can play pretty much anywhere! ...the other one is as strong as an ox..played most of his footy at lofty in the back 6! In my opinion will strugle on a big dry oval! the other two are recruits, one is a 60+ goal forward, who turned CHB man this season to fill a gap at lofty! still has good footy left, and the other one is an on baller who would love to hear hes worth cash money.. trailing on the coat tails of others!!
lets be honest though here....$800 plus petrol money....i would be there so quick my first 3 match payments would be paying speeding fines!!
Good luck to them...

Im not sure if i believe these rumors kicking round. the amounts seem ridiculous and vary from 350 - 800 dollars... in my day you were happy to have a beer bought for you after the game.
but on the other hand big loss to lofty if they are true..
a little from what i know about the players.
Nathan Peterson is a great player (probably should have been drafted a few years ago) and huge engine will love it up there on the dry decks, seeing the lofty results and a few games kicks a lot of goals when he changes forward or as an onballer. hard to match up on..
Ben Gordon another great player great goal sense, and beautiful kick for goals, can kick them from anywhere and seems the tougher the kick the easier he makes it look, big strong mark im surprised that Lofty played him in the back lines this year as from what i saw a few years ago he was a great FF/ CHF
Jared mcdonald one of those players that gets a lot of hard ball gets and in and under every contest does alot of tough nitty gritty work to get the ball to his runners, probabaly some of the most creative hands in pack situations i have seen in hills footy, also a bit like nathan kicks goals when he is onball or changing forward
DK stevens a tough backman and a huge frame, not blessed with the greatest skills but his heart and determination makes him one of the hardest players going around, i know i would have hated to play on him as a forward, you would be in for a tough day
