For what its worth I reckon we have our best-ever forwardline right now. Scary good.
We have deficiencies elsewhere but not in our forwardline.

GCS as the worst forward line? I'd have the Suns forward line over the Lions all day long. Lions have possibly the worst in the league at present.

North too high, GC too low. Good list.
A Bloke called Cyril goes alright in the Hawks forward line.

Really, I have high expectations on Tom Campbell
Freo's forward line might not have many superstars but is the best for defensive pressure, locking the ball in, etc. Way way more effective than North for example. But people like OP will say North has the better forward line.

North was the third highest scoring team last year. Not sure how much more effective you can get. I agree that Freo's forward-line is underrated though.

He can do good things, but he also goes missing and is a liability far too often. It's why he was dropped for today's game.

They're currently the second highest scoring team in the comp, Jay Schulz leads the Coleman, and the 6 players named in the OP have combined for 48 goals (with Butcher and Monfries only playing 3 games). Should probably be higher.

Essendon forward line is a mess. Carlisle has gone from AA quality in 2013 to VFL reserves standard. Daninher is years away. If not for a cat reject you would not be in front of many teams.

Its starting to click - Parker is having a great year also McVeigh and Jack are adding to the fire power. I would still take the Swans at 1.

My prediction isn't looking to flash at present.
Agree on Parker, killing it this year.

Brust is having an outstanding year and Gunstan is turning into a out and out gun. If Rioli can get back and Roughy find some form it can end up close.

Just a few changes, Kerridge has been playing as a tagger, Douglas is part of our first rotation on ball group and Porplyzia was dropped to the SANFL after round 2. This would be our nominal forward 6 minus whichever midfielders are rotating through:
HF: Cameron Walker Lynch
FF: Podsiadly Jenkins Betts
I'd put that in the top 7-8 in the league.
How's that GC prediction just got a rocket I'm guessing?

My word. Some have really come on at the Suns.

That is great - but can you name a team with better foot skills than the Hawks? Maybe ever? Silver service and the envy of every forward line.
Hawthorn has to be on top.
Again ....
Just goes to show the Buddy deal was a true win/win.
Hawthorn are better without him and Sydney are better with him.

Sydney has the best forward line clearly
