Ayres and then Craigy under achieved with a great midfield. Pitty their key forwards were people like Perrie and McGregor. Put a prime Walker and Tippett in 2005/06 we win premierships.
Yeah, needed half decent key forwards to go with gun midfielders... as we lacked efficiency up forward.

Unlucky with Hentschel & Carey injuries... but we just didn't prioritise key forwards.

It's why I feel more confident about the current list as far better balanced.

Yeah I guess so. Still, Pies fwd line this year didn’t have any gun talls. We should have managed at least 1 more flag with the amazing list of mids we had.

Well we had back to back hopeless coaches with our gun midfield. That sank us.

We won us a minor premiership and came 2nd even with a weak forward line. We failed to make a GF mostly due to Craig's inept tactics in the Saints QF and facing our bogey side of that era in the prelims.
 
Goodwin at his peak would be nearly on par with Roo. I think Roo was more blessed with the natural physique so he was able to play well from the get go at AFL level.
Here’s an interesting stats comparison for both players in their first full season at AFL (Roo in 94 and Goodwin in 98)

Roo looking like a superstar already with 20+ touches average. He also averaged a decent amount of good old bumps which aren’t shown on the stats!
