I'm not a golfer, but a good listen to authentic Fog.

Nah I can’t see it, he’s a damn good 2nd foil to RT but he’s still a 2nd foil. Already 25, too
He’ll hit 50 a couple of times, you’d think
Keep in mind he's always been (at best) second foil, and has never played in a good team.
Has been able to kick 30 and 40 in shithouse sides as a second foil ...

He’s gonna give the top 10 for goals a shake this season (goals 3rd to last column)
How’s the accuracy
How’s the accuracy
Was arguably the #1 for the majority of the year last season, to be fair
But yes our delivery I50 has now vastly improved
It's also a bit backwards, but it feels like he's a number two forward who might tend to kick more goals than the number one?
A bit like how Daniel Bradshaw would kick as many/more than Jonathon Brown from time to time.
Helps when you take almost every chance

Good question.
The R19 Essendon game last year is the benchmark for me. Clinical finishing with manic physical pressure and superb quality at ground level. It was the best game of his career and if he can replicate that sort of stuff – especially at ground level to prevent opposition D50 exits – his ceiling is AA-quality.

The current forward dynamic suits Fog to a tee. He can play deep or he can roam out from CHF, but he has Thilthorpe as that foil to take some heat away from him and it allows him to be so damaging. Tex also seems to really be enjoying it as he is roaming up the ground getting marks and hitting targets inside 50 with that elite kick he has. As long as all can stay healthy, these forwards are going to thrive like we have not see in a long time (2023 included)
I thought he could become like Degoey or Petracca early on, but I'm not sure he has that ceiling.
I don't think the club has any intention of trying him in the midfield.
This Fog is still a very good forward who will take over from Tex well.
I think he has the talent to tear a game apart, but not sure if he realises it.

The best part, is on the whole, they are not selfish. They normally give it off to a player in a better position.

Its the maturity in his game that will allow him to become more like Tex as time goes on. He does not quite have the pure presence of Tex but if he can really become smart like Tex has in terms of positioning and using his strength aligned with his elite kicking, its going to be a seamless transition.
He has Texs leading patterns almost, but Tex seems to have a bigger tank and looks more bouncy than Fog, if you know what I mean.
Tex is a great player for him to model his game after and learn from.

Fogarty's a fair bit stockier, don't underestimate the effects of that extra few kilos on aerobic capacity. But yeah, will be interesting to see the tweaks we make after Tex retires.

How can anyone not like the fog, he’s got the swagger, but not the fig jam swagger, just the **** I’m good but don’t ask me because I won’t tell you, I’ll show you swagger.

Fogarty needs to get serious about the stockiness and how that might affect his movement late in his career.
If I think of someone like Hawkins who Fog plays a little bit like, as soon as Hawkins lost mobility he was finished.

I think most would be happy finishing at age 34/35
Yes - I'm suggesting at his size currently that might be challenging.

A bigger deal out west.

I doubt there is too much more with Fog, but that's mainly to do with being partnered with Thilthorpe.
Hawkins was 198cms tall, so got alot of his goals and marks through sheer size. Fog is more mobile than Tom, and able to move up the ground and be a connector. Hawkins was rarely seen outside the forward 50, from what I remember anyway.
It's reminiscent of 2017. Thilthorpe is an upgrade on Jenkins, Curtin probably doesn't have Lynch's tank, but can still play that sort of role between mid and forward, Fog is probably playing 2017 Tex kind of role and Tex is now a supporting player rather than focal point... seems disrespectful to compare him to McGovern, but you get the general gist, anyway
Thow in Rankine / Rachele / ANB (allowing for Rankine probably spending more time in midfield than forward) for Betts / Cameron, and there is some proper firepower.One of the commentators on Saturday pointed out how, although we have a lot of tall forward options, they don't get in each other's way - you rarely see more than one of them flying at the same mark.
