Can only see the Suns looking at someone like Hendersook
That and also they now wait until the VCE exams are over.
Names are relevant to the question asked for those on our list..?
Who is capable, it’s not something that is just conjured up out of nowhere hence our trade targets.

incipient bullying is insidious bullying..........
Cat B and talk of being close to a game last season. Heaps of potential, another year of development. I reckon year 3 is usually game time for a Cat B post transition from another sport.

The truth sometimes arrives on horses. 🐎
Look. This is way beyond my counting capabilities. I'll end up with swollen fetlocks ffs.
Let's just assume their will be plenty of goals kicked at our end.
PLENTY!!
And PLENTY stopped at the other end.

Yep, some of the narratives being constructed remind me of Bombers fans in defence of Hird.

Yes... when I type the word 'keep' on my phone, its auto-suggestion for the next word is 'Casboult' - great to have my phone remind me when I have been the same thing over and over again...
So you would have had Castagna leading their small forwards too?
Predict which small forward will kick most of their goals next year
BTW, the majority of their goals this year came from KPF's and resting mifeilders, not small forwards
We did
Delisted Saint to play on at Carlton after rejecting two-year deal
Jack Newnes will continue his career at Carlton after informing the Saints of his desire to move as a delisted free agent

Cuningham was going at 3 a game. In the practise game followed by the two preseason games. But could only manage 22 disposals and 10 contested for his 0.0. He didn’t play round two but was t mentioned in the injury update so I think it was the Thursday training late out due to training mishap (bruises kidney). He didn’t return till hawks round 6. He then kicked 4 goals in 3 games. Getting a calf injury in round 9 v Collingwood. 13 goals in 7 games including preseason.
This is about the CFC and the question posed. Interested in that & that alone.
“I think any of our non KPF's are a chance of kicking 30 next year -
Who are these players, because I don't know of them?”
I would be open to trade Pick 9 for say 15 and 20.
Pick up Dylan Williams and Jack Mahoney
Pick up Dylan Williams and Jack Mahoney
It's all hypothetical isn't it?
Betts plays all year, might be him
Lang stays on the park and plays deep forward, could be him
Or you could be delusional like RedBull and think it was Weightman
Again I will ask, which small forward for the Tigers will kick most of their goals?
Not into RFC - irreverent to our forward line.
Betts, yes, the obvious one but the cupboard is pretty bare after that.
Lang; will be lucky to get a look in this year.
DC & Martin, JSOS are my forward possibilities but 30 goals is a big ask.
If we aim for 16 goals a game (not sure what we averaged under DT), that’s almost 12 x 30 goal scorers of which you could deduct maybe 100 goals from “others” being midfielders & cameos.
IIRC we had 4 goals in a game from Newman, Cripps, JSOS. Charlie could be likely to play deeper with bags like the WBD game possible & MM fitter with more output.
Small forwards kicking 30+ goals is elite and rare and not necessarily needed. The way footy is played now with a focus on zoning and team defence it's rare for them to kick much more.
Having small forwards who kick a bit over one goal a game or thereabouts, apply elite forward pressure, have good closing speed and aren't afraid of physicality are where teams are excelling.
We've got guys who fit into that serviceable small forward range quite well and some who have the potential to go up a level.
We're in a position to recruit a really good youngster and to chase mature aged players for the next couple of seasons.
Our biggest problem is keeping our forwards on the park. McKay missed a few games and carried injury a few times, Cuningham missed a lot of footy, Curnow missed a lot of footy, Gibbons was developing and came on later in the year, McGovern had injuries and needed to get fit. I think if we get a consistent season from McKay, Curnow, Cuningham, Betts, McGovern and Martin (if we get him) and our midfield performs then we're going to kick plenty of goals.
Think we can all agree on how much we would love an elite small forward or two in that mix but it's far from a dire situation.

I feel that as most have doubts on some of our midfielders we need to draft best available in what will hopefully be our last top ten pick for sometime.

You can't seriously have an expectation of us to average 16 goals per game, can you?
Geelong who finished top of the ladder averaged 13.3 goals a game, Richmond wins the premiership with an average of 12.8.
Under Teague we averaged 11.9

This talk of small forwards, where do you all see Kennedy next year. Has always had an interrupted season and never performed up to expectations but seemed to do well this year when thrown forward. While he isn’t as agile or exciting as a traditional small forward he seemed to be capable of making an impact.
next year is he a best 22 player and where is he playing, forward or midfield?

He performed really well, but I see him as a third forward, as he can mark well, but not chase or pressure.
His behind Curnow, McKay and McGoven and competing with tbe more versatile JSOS
Good depth
I do not think we should do it.
They were the idiots that did not do a sensible trade in the circumstances. If they admit later on they were a bit stupid a de-listing and apology to Martin should do from them. They stopped him training with his new team for a good month by the time he gets to here.
