Position SC 2021: Forward Discussion
- Thread starter THCLT
- Start date
There was a video posted on here in recent days (the first bit was about Majak, Oliver also mentioned) referring to Danger, and Scott said something to the effect that “we can’t have him managed through another season” or similar.
I took it as a positive, indicating that his average last year was playing hindered, and that he could/perhaps should do better if he can get his body right this season.

I must admit I'm starting to consider starting Danger. The "month behind" bit could be said of any Richmond / Geelong player given when the 2020 GF was played. I think Chris Scott was foxing a little bit when he suggested Danger would be more mid focussed this season but they didn't bring in Jeremy Cameron to whistle Dixie so I can see the natural logic in Danger playing more up the ground
It just seems like there are a lot of "trade in targets". I'm more confident that Danger and Dusty will be top forwards for the year than other players on other lines. No trip to Vegas for Dusty might help him. I'm not over the moon starting with them but they look like good picks as each day passes.
It really depends on how you want to structure your side. The forwards this year have quite a few players that appeal as bargains/underpriced but have obvious risk attached - (Ziebell/ Daniher/Impey) along with rookies that are looking likely for round 1 with fwd classification - Macrea/Cockatoo/Rowe/maybe Brockman also so it looms as a line that you can go cheap on & get great value from so can therefore load up in the rucks with Gawn & Grundy along with premium options in the midfield & defence.
I am banking on Danger & Dusty (Marshall another after he returns from injury) dropping in price so I can grab them once Ziebell/Daniher/Impey have maxed out - I have loaded up my other lines with premiums so (pending injuries of course) my plan/hope is that most of my trading will be done in the forward line.

Looking but nothing I've liked in preseason so far. Managed heavily through the preseason with some issues (which after last year is big) and then talk of more time forward, think he's worth watching for now and see where he's at, safe to say he's at the higher end of his likely output.
This is the shocking part, if he can keep it up then he becomes worthy of strong talk, proven he can find the space and the ball but has been woeful with his disposal to date, if he can just become average there he can be a mid 95 guy quite easily. Hawks historical under-utilisation of wingers is still a problem though.
Danger is such a drama queen, probably nothing wrong with him at all and just wants some attention. The other options are all so bad that even with a less than stellar preseason he has to be in play. He's like the girl at the party who has to tell everyone how drunk she is despite having 2 shots all night!
