Position Forwards Discussion

[Darkie]

There’s also Luke Dahlhaus, Ablett and also Rohan

And still not much in the ruck!

 

[freowho]

It's been mentioned a few times, but is it some sort of record to have 3 forward eligible players from the same club who averaged 100 in the previous season? Dangerfield, Menegola and Hawkins fit the bill.

Some on here are backing Tim Kelly to improve to around that mark as well and there has been some buzz around Parfitt as an up and coming prospect with a high ceiling. Just where are all these points going to come from? (Remembering Duncan also averaged 106 and Selwood 105)

Hawkins had a massive spike which I don't think he'll repeat; Menegola seems pretty consistent; Danger is Danger so I'm going to say TK doesn't make a big jump:
Danger - 120+
(Selwood|Duncan) - 100-105
Menegola - 100
TK - 95
Parfitt - 85
Hawkins - 85

What do people think of that?

Danger, Ablett, Selwood and Hawkins could all be giving some points back this year.

I completely forgot about Ablett! Too quick to write him off into history - he averaged 107 last year from 18 games which for all his "decline" is still better than most of the league haha.
I do see him giving up some more points by playing forward as you suggest.

Danger might possibly be taking more points this year - touted to be in better shape and play more midfield.

Closest I can find is Franklin/Roughead/Rioli 2012, with Rioli coming off a 99.6

Yeah Danger back in the middle more often i think, Geelong really stuffed up it's midfield mix last year and as a result were a poor clearance team, expect some changes.

Has anyone heard anything about Toby Greene? Will he be ready for round 1?

Looks the right order based on what we know now. Like them all though. Kind of hope no rookies show up so we can stack the forward line.

Stick the F/M's in the middle.

Is it too late in his career to move to some midfield minutes? Probably.
Upped his average by 24sc points last year from the previous.
A star midfielder in his team has gone down.
A new recruit for his team will probably play in mids and forwards.
Have seen him run through mids in JLT but not through the season proper.
Is he in anyones team? Would be a big pod.

McAdam I doubt is best 22, wasn't that impressive at training. Setterfield hasn't convinced at training either.

Setterfield would've started rd1 for GWS last year.

He could be blues captain soon

It would indeed. Brave call to pay 95 for someone with a second best season of 86. I reckon I'd rather wait and see, and pay a bit more for him.

Like the thinking though. He's nice and durable too.

Not guaranteed for round 1, hasn't fully recovered
