How about 5+ goals 4 times? The true measuring stick.

No good, plays in a top side with slick and constant delivery inside the forward 50.

... just curious if anyone happen to see a little bit of Sam Weideman last night?
Seriously this time. I was sure he was named in the team...

Poor Sam. He wishes every game was a Final against Geelong.
Interesting this week to read all the detail around Weitering apparently being the best defender in the competition now.
Nice pat on the back for Larkey if this is true, as he absolutely monstered Weitering in their most recent outing.

Since the start of 2020, I'd have to say McKay would be my first pick.
I know that Naughton has proved his versatility at both ends of the ground, but don't forget McKay has won a Coleman and managed to play 39 games for North down in defense too.

This thread is three years old and we can rule out a few as not being young anymore.
24yo is prime, definitely not young anymore.
Curnow is 25
Hipwood is 24
Naughton is 22, he still counts
McKay is 24
King brother are 21, they count
Larkey is nearly 24 but we'll count him
So we're left with a pretty small list. Who else can be added though? Gotta be 23 or under.

Nah, Jarrad Waite still has him covered.
No, 25-26 is prime for midfielders usually, most key forwards dont hit their peak till they're 28.This thread is three years old and we can rule out a few as not being young anymore.

JUH, Thilthorpe, McDonald could be added if they perform well this yearThis thread is three years old and we can rule out a few as not being young anymore.

Oscar Allen was going fairly well but fell by the wayside a little bit last year.
Everyone is different. But 24 is entering prime for key forwards. We're not talking peak, just entering their prime. But 24 certainly isn't young for any player.
No it's not, you should know.
There's a big difference tbh, alot of midfielders hit their prime at 24-25, key forwards usually hit their prime later in their careers, some earlier than that but it takes longer for a taller player to develop.
Most key forwards definitely do enter their prime by 24.
Kennedy kicked 59 goals in a season at 23.
J Riewoldt kicked 78 at 21.

There are exceptions like Taberner and Dixon who were slower burns, but it is rare.

Alot of generational talent.
A fair amount of young or younger key forwards nowadays are slow burns, both through injury or what not.
Hawkins peak footy has been as an old man that's a big part of my point, 62 goals now is unreal, 62 goals when he was 23-24 wasn't nothing to scoff at but like it wasn't a big wow!

Cant mark, cant kick straight and doesnt have much footy IQ. Sort of like a costco Buddy who has a big boot but not much else
Pretty hard to do much with a torn ACL
I think you can rule our Curnow, Hipwood, Mckay and the King brothers for 'various reasons'
Which only leaves Naughton as the clear number 1.
He'll clearly have kicked the most behinds of that group by years end.

Probably have the most contested marks i50 of the lot in fairness to you blokes, but jeez - he needs to sort that horrid kicking routine out. He could be anything if he gets it right, I hope he does otherwise he may soon find JUH to be the primary target.
