Sharman needs to become on average a 2 goal a game forward, as does Owens

11 players average 2 goals a game or more last year. If we want to be generous with what 2 goals is, 21 averaged over 1.8 goals per game (the mark Higgins was at).

Let's be realistic here. Considering that statement wouldn't be wanting Higgins and King to go backwards as players, we aren't going to have 4 of the top 21 goals per games players in the comp.

Screw being realistic. Don't you get enough of that awful shit during the season?

It’s doable if we give them good enough supply

Would also like to see more contribution from the midfield. Pou and Steele reliable shots and Hunter bobs up for an occasional goal. Not sure about Macrae’s output. Hugo looks like a possible suspect to add to the mid goal tally.

I think that will happen naturally if the entire side are not having to spend so much time in defence stopping the opposition scoring. If we can start winning the ball more through centre and hold it in our F50 and get repeat entries the mids will be able to become more offensive.

Previously they couldn't we got so exposed on turn over it was scary.

This.

Speaking of Sharman and two goals.

We notice the forward line is pretty weak in general.

The midfield in '24 was the weakest for ten years?

Then of course, the defence is solid. mostly.

Our coach is a renowned defensive expert, like General Heinrici on the Russian Front.

And like that guy, the odds are stacked against him.

Our fixture calls for a major defensive holding operation until we reach the bye.

And then the attack begins.

So I am bracing myself for some low scores and some frustrations.

But as always, there is one silver lining!

Accuracy from set shots!

If we can start maximizing those opportunities and kick a score of 12.4.76, as we did in Adelaide once, I reckon we are in with a chance.
