Our Forward line post-Barry

[tonydean]

I'm starting to think half the list won't be there in 5 years! Also starting to lose patience in Grant and think he might nearly be moved on at years end!

Scott Clayton said something along the lines of Ill swim Port Phillip Bay if Grant doesnt become a top player.I hope hes a bloody good swimmer.

Pretty much what has been said above, most of our forwards are good players, but they suffer from time wasting up the ground. When the ball does come in, poor delivery hurts us. Even former whipping boy Josh Hill has kicked 11 goals in 5 games for West Coast (partly attitude related but still...)

Draft picks, draft picks, draft picks.....

We have the makings of a strong forward line IMO, if three of Jones, Grant, Roughead, Cordy, Hill, Panos and Campbell turn out to be guns.

Draft priority should shift to fast midfielders who can kick (Tutt, Griffen, Howard, etc.)

meh minson averages 50-60 hitouts at VFL yet only gets about 15-30 in the AFL. Dont think Campbell's 40 hitouts at VFL level mean much tbh.

Much more concerned about his ability to play as a forward though, really provided a target and made a contest in the NAB cup.

Most likely, cant be last weeks as he got 43 hitouts and 17 touches.

He was usually high up (top half dozen or so) in the tackles ranking when at the WB.

Unless he's up against Cam Wood..!
