Team Mgmt. 2024 Forward Line

[boncer34]

Good to know we've gone through pre-season and the practice games so we can start making definitive statements.

 

[DERO]

Wright does not deserve to be in the starting side from Week 1.

And Kako does I guess?

Less depth at Kako’s position and top SFs are normally ready straight away

 

[King Patty]

My take is if Draper is fit enough to run all day the. Play him predominantly in the ruck.

wright needs to rediscover his 50
Goal season, maybe no Jake helps him
Too. Plus Kako as other more mobile.

wright will pull a good defender off Caddy/Langford allowing them to go to work.

If we lower our eyes can hit Wright up he is a dead eye in front of goals. And hard to stop on the lead.

If Draper was mainly fwd best could hope for is like 20 goal season

Whereas Wright should be 35+

I'd assume they would pull the same defenders generally. Wright might kick more goals but generate far fewer chances than Drapers chaotic movement and tap ons do. I'd far prefer Draper, unless Wright can close the gap on his best and worst games for competing in the contest.

Kako seems likely but does he deserve to slot straight into the team?

 

[King Patty]

I think Given Cal said if he was available he would have played 15-20 afl games this year in most teams, and we have one of the worst small forwards group in the comp. He is a certainty to be playing round 1, unless he gets injured, or Menzie has been taking brads bins out every week all summer.

Hard disagree

Pretty much all top 10 picks (unless they are spud talls) deserve to slot into the team and get a real opportunity.

If you don’t have the opportunity for these guys you don’t draft them. Or you trade players to make room.

Cool

 

[The Donners]

Wright does not deserve to be in the starting side from Week 1.

Nor does 1/4 of the side to be fair.

 

[Agronomus]

I'd have Jones in the forward line over 2MP
