List Mgmt. The obvious (we need a key forward)

[Aussie pie]

So this thread is only for posts related to Key forwards we could recruit, trade for or get by free agency.
My definition of a key forward is a player 197cm or taller. Not AJ, Reef or checkers size.

I keep moaning about it in other threads but have no idea if any draftees are coming in that would suit us.

I saw today on X that Lobb has been named as a target for us. No no no no no.

Please keep this to Key forwards only, there are plenty of other threads for draft and FA talk.

We will hopefully get McStay back before finals. However, by your definition, he is not a key forward.

Neither is Curnow or Tex

I agree, Frampton proved this in the GF. He played a negating role essentially to keep Andrews accountable, imagine a KF with goal kicking nouse and pack crashing marks.

What is all this obsession with key forwards needing to be close to 200cm?

A very good 192 - 195cm player who can play smart in a tall forward role, who leads to the right spot and can take a contested grab can be every bit as dominant as a big bulldozing pack crasher and this team doesn’t absolutely necessitate the latter.

As others have pointed out, we’d be snapping hands off for a Tex, Curnow or Hogan type, all of whom are sub 197cm.

The best KPF in the afl is 196cm.

Need a CHB more.

You'll see why when we played Carlton. Moore sucks on the real key forwards and Frampton can't play on both of those guys.

All of the best forward players of the last 30 years have been between 6ft and 6 ft 5...
Mobility is a huge asset

1970s thinking
Sure it'll help, but not top of the list this year
For example, have you taken a look at how our roll up team defence is going this year?

It seems some posters just can't make a post without putting down the poster who starts threads.

Perhaps don't engage and ruin it for others that might find it interesting?
