It seems intersting that so far this season games have been high scoring and the power forwards seem to be dominating again.
Do you believe that a player will kick at least 100 goals this season?

I think it can be and wouldn't be suprised if one or two hit the benchmark.
Fevola and Lloyd would be the obvious choices. Fev on 11 and hasn't had a good start to the season just yet.

Is yes it will be by Lloyd. Not because he is the best (he is but that is another argument) but because Essendon will not revert to a defensive style rather they will abide by the rule "doesn't matter how many we concede as long as we score 1 more"
TOM HAWKINS first year player to kick 100 in a season!!!

No. In this day and age its just really hard for players to average 5 goals a game.
I think Fev and Lloyd will get to 80. Lucas may get to 70 (he is averaging 5 at the moment but i dont think it will last). Usual suspects will be up there really.

No he won't. He had Melbourne by the balls on Sunday and our coach took him off. Even if he plays every game from here on in he'll get dragged, which apparently these days is called "resting" them.
Some things about modern footy I really hate. This is one of them. You want young guys to get fitter? Try playing them more, not less.

Fevola should break it. He scored 84 in a team with a very young midfield. They have showed signs of improvement so it wouldn't surprise me if Fevola does score 100 goals.
The greenies would want Lloyd to kick 100 goals. They'll be aforaid that he will put too much grass out.

Pavlich would be a good dark horse to get on for Coleman I believe. Sure he has competition with Tarrant but you never know

Tom admitted himself that he was struggling and had bugger all left in the tank. He has a big frame and it will take a while for him to adjust to the tempo and pace of the big league. It wouldn't surprise me if he spent a few weeks in the 2's at some point in the season, so he doesn't overcook it and get injured. So no, he wont kick 100 in his debut year. He will give it a mighty shake in years to come though. Lucky pricks, Geelong. :cool:
