Top 5 foward lines in the AFL..on paper.

[Nandoz]

Seriously, on paper, next year Essendons forward line with the addition of one crafty young J. Hird is going to be formiddable.

Lloyd wont have 2 bad years in a row, expect 85 +
Lucas is in sensational form - would be happy for him to provide another 50+
Lovett is learning the ranks, exciting talent and definately knows how to rove.
Laycock could be anything - the missing link in the forward line. Is a brilliant contested mark

The 4 L's and Hird, look out

But cant go past the Saints at the moment, Kosi, Riewold, the Snake and Milne. Wouldnt want to come up against that on a chilly Septembers day.

 

[Knowledge]

HF: Hird Lucas Lovett
F: Rioli Lloyd Cupido/Mark Johnson

I'd have that ahead of the Pies and Brisbane and probably Melbourne as well.

Get your hand off it

.

and hille kicks his 20 - 25 goals a year aswell.

on paper we have a as talented forward line as any one going around but for most of this year the midfield hasnt delivered the ball to them until the last month where our midfield has stepped up.

And that's without the JOHNS factor!

lol A Don's fan with a sense of humour

 

[Sealen]

FF: Kent

lol

 

[Helix]

Brisbane:
HF: Akermanis, Brown, Notting
F: Power, Bradshaw, Charman

HF: Akermanis, Brown, Mcgrath
F: Corrie, Bradshaw, Merrett

Power is better as a half back flanker, Notting is a winger. Charman, Keating and Merrett can rotate.

If all the teams were at full strength, IMO this would be the top 5.

IN NO CERTAIN ORDER:

Melbourne:
HF: Yze, Miller, Bruce
F: Davey, Neitz, Robertson

St Kilda:
HF: Dal Santo, Riewoldt, Hamill
F: Milne, Gehrig, Koschitzke.

Sydney:
HF: O’Keefe, Hall, J.Bolton
F: Davis, O’Loughlin, Goodes

Collingwood:
HF: T. Cloke , Rocca, Buckley
F: J.Fraser , Tarrant, Didak

Brisbane:
HF: Akermanis, Brown, Notting
F: Power, Bradshaw, Charman

Thoughts??
Rank in order...
Mine would be ...stkilda, sydney, melbourne, brisbane, collingwood.

Just rank those 5 or is it the top in th afl?
How could Collingwood be anywhere near the top.

Surely
Headland Pavlich Medhurst
Farmer McPharlin Longmuir/Sandilands

Would be up there.

 

[ClintEastwood]

On paper?

F Lade - White - Wanganeen
HF Pickett - Tredrea - Mahoney

Not too bad.

It's bloody excellent, and put it in front of West Coast's or Adelaide's midfields, and it would be one of the best couple going around.

 

[FriscoHawk]

How about

HF Franklin Holland Barker
F Miller Williams Dixon

 

[Ari]

You'd be wrong.

Rioli and Cupido?

Give me a break.

Essendons problem is not the forward line, its a slow midfield. If Essendon had a midfield their forward line would look quite polished.
