Who will be our #3 Goalkicker in 2010?

[Coathanger]

Burgoyne avges 30 goals a year and that's probably good enough to run third.
Would love to see 20+ each from Ossie & Cyril as well.

yeh expect both Ossie & Cyril 2 both kick 20+ goals next yr lets not forget in 2008 we had 6 players kick 20+ goals

L.Franklin 113
J.Roughead 75
M.Williams 46
M.Osborne 28
C.Rioli 24
L.Hodge 20

Although I seriously rate Dowler and think he will be a part of the clubs future I reckon Morton is being groomed to replace Willo - this could be interesting as both Dowler and Morton could play in the side together as tall flankers that are quick and can play as lead up forward creating a nightmare for opposition backmen. This is the new forward line - multi pronged lead up forwards that can revert to quck defensive type players like the role played by flankers.

I dont see a spot for Dowler up forward if both Roughy & Buddy are fit.

Isnt this the reason Boyle couldnt crack a game? (obviously in 2008, not 2009)

Too top heavy with all 3 up forward in my view...thoughts?

I'm not sure..

Both Franklin and Roughead are nimble when the ball hits the ground, Buddy in particular. Dowler adds a unique element to our forward line, I think, providing rotations and form, it's managable.

1 J.Roughead
2 L.Franklin
3 B.Dowler
4 C.Rioli
5 M.Osborne
6 S.Burgoyne
7 G.Moss
8 L.Hodge
9 C.Brown
10 C.Bateman

Coleman Medalist = J.Roughead Hawthorn Leading Goalkicker = J.Roughead 75-85 goals.. im tipping Roughead 2 have his best season ever! GO HAWKS!!!

Something like this, I think.

Hmm.. this is awkward, Mark Williams was traded..

Agree with this, although our lack of ruck depth might force us to bulk Dowler up as backup and therefore run him as the 'true' CHF, Morton as a fourth, very mobile tall and Ossie on the other flank.

'Buddy's Box' with 2 leading out from FF and 2 running back from CHF is a really good strategy I believe that was only mildly successful because 90% of the delivery went to Buddy. Time to resurect it I reckon.

 

[Neville Bartos]

I'm thinking riolimite.


Props to nev.

Props accepted. And that's who I voted for too

 

[ricta]

Has to be either Jnr or Dowler for mine, would like to see Thorp have a break out year, but i am starting to think he is turning into a lotto ticket

love to see him live up to all the past hype

Ouch - this concept would create a nightmare for any side in the league as I cant see anyone with enough quality backs to be able to stop all forwards in any game. Concentrate on Buddy - Roughie fires, move to Roughie, Dowler fires, move to him Morton takes over - would even be worse with multiple quick predefined planned rotations during each quarter. The other fact is that all 4 of the guys mentioned can play up the ground - as you said it is the box but in some ways a new box not solely concentrating on 1 player.

I'm sick of agreeing with you. Although, I think Dowler might play from deeper down forward and lead up.

That's where my heads at too.

Hmm... this is awkward, those are 2008 stats...

I really dont see Dowler having much of a impact in 2010.
Not sure if i was watching the same Hawthorn as you guys this year, but Dowler to me seems like a spaz! Runs weird, kicks weird, tackles weird, and doesnt have any 2nd efforts! Makes Ashely Hansen from the Eagles look good!
Id rather not have him in the team at all!
But hope your all right!

My pick for 3rd goal kicker next year is Campbel Brown or Junior!

 

[Bosk]

As expected Dowler is clearly leading the poll with Rioli second.


Here's an interesting thought-

If you were a betting man, what odds would you take on Dowler being our #2 goalkicker next year?

 

[ToroHombre]

Jordan Lewis will be your number 3, though I have doubts that he will be a major goalkicker.

 

[Old Bullman]

Brown for mine. Nathan that is. Roll the dice again Al. Left footed sharpshooter. The bells are ringing.

 

[Brant]

If X. Ellis & SHIELS come on like we hope & Young is fit & firing again then I would like to see HODGE spend a lot more time forward. Maybe 10 - 15 mins per quarter deep in Attack.

His ability to read and win his own ball and take strong marks would make him a nightmare to defend. He would also make his defender so accountable and reduce their ability to run - I see him ruining the day of a running defender like Jason GRAM (St K) - HODGE would be the guy's worst nightmare....

Not sure if he would be #3 goal kicker with limited time down there but certainly see him kicking 40+ goals (2 per game).
