Position 2022: Forward Discussion
- Thread starter KLo30
- Start date
It would be an easy decision to cut Cogs (or maybe Butters) to Bont in that case. I don't think he will though after playing 74% as a mid last game. He was almost on track until then 
I guess it takes some fun out of the game when a player becomes an auto-selection like that though.

Be interesting to see if people can afford luxury trades of Brodie , Butters , Cogs , Gresham etc
At the start of the season, you would have thought so for certain, but with 35 trades most coaches have gone a bit free willy so that shall be interesting
Despite Heeney's incredible start to the season, I'm still not a believer. I don't know what he'd have to do to convince me. Burn man of the highest order.

2022= 7th for Total Tackles and 8th for Tackles per game
2017-2019: 32/61 matches with 5 or more tackles
2020-2021: 0/26 matches with 5 or more tackles
2022: 6/7 matches with 5 or more tackles

Heeney only averages 99 over last 3 and has needed a pretty strong ratio to get there in several games now.
Still a solid enough target but given his durability record, Parker, Bont (likely), Libba (if role maintained) and then the likes of Rozee, Butters, Martin, Taranto, Moore, Cameron, Duncan, Hawkins and Treloar on top of the fact that most probably have somewhere in the 5-7 keeper range already in their teams and he's hardly screaming a must have just now at top dollar.
Hardest decision I'm facing right now with the forwards is whether to target a Parker type as a genuine F2 pick given I've already got 7 premium forwards, albeit 5 of them are in that F4-6 range. I think given how few upgrades I need it's worth it (he can play M8 for now anyway) but it's a genuine conundrum. Especially given that if Bont does get it, he'd be a must have which would mean another trade needed for small gains.

As an owner, I hope you are right. One thing that concerns me about Heeney is that with one exception, his disposal count has declined every game this year. His tackles appear to be trending down (from historically high levels), and his goalkicking accuracy has been unusually good. He’ll need to get more of the ball or resume tackling more to meet expectations.
Toying with the idea of getting D Cameron in as a F6.
Looks to be scoring well with Grundy out and a chance to pick up DPP if he keeps the Ruck role.
Any obvious reason not to take him I'm missing?

Agree would have been a reasonable starting pick and I did look at him.
IIRC he had a great first game, but shocking 2nd game which sort of ruled him out as per above, lol. Would have been a pretty solid pick if you were able to ignore or did not see his second game which sort of ruled out him on the bubble.
I drafted him in 2 keeper leagues and a single season league and he has been a very good pick so far, so was well and truely on my radar for SC.
