Analysis Best Young Key-Forward in the Competition

[jackag24]

Darcy as the true unicorn.

Thilthorpe the brute.

Morris and Georgides the true forward craft guys with some speed.

Caddy and Dear the x-factor athletes.

How dare you don't just lump them all into one big category and say who's better!

 

[parsons nose]

Apologies I did not bother to check and BALD quoted 36 goals when it is only 32.

So Darcy has averaged 2.9 goals in the 11 games ignoring the injury game.

That leaves Cameron and Hogan ahead but not Gunston

 

[jackag24]

Not quite what Donald Bradman was to cricket, but I would not be swapping Sam for anyone else in the competition.

Yep, and given the opposite, i think a lot of supporters would find it hard not to pick Darcy

Apologies they call that fat finger fridays.

 

[hawkman]

Does having a 40inch vertical leap ensure you take the mark? Tim Obrien used to get up this high but never clunk them.

You can't say never

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Hate to break it to you, but I'm under no illusion...you might be.

I went to Melb High and have a few degrees from Monash and half a CPA. Don't think you need to worry about me, honestly. I'm fine. I comprehend everything at a higher level than you could possibly imagine, not to mention speak 2 languages. I'm fine my brother! Keep telling yourself your 'rebuild' is going well. It is.

Funniest thing I’ve read all day

Curtin is the true unicorn who could play any position on the field.

Thanks for the table but I did say excluding the game he got injured.
Removing 1 game with the same goal tally increases his average above Gunston.

And no I haven't checked if Gunston had a game he was out of early without a goal

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Curtin is the true unicorn who could play any position on the field.

Josh Weddle is

 

[jackag24]

He's a freak.... the kids a freak

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Josh Weddle is

Great player!

Curtin has 5 cm on him though...

 

[Amacca 23]

Great player!

Curtin has 5 cm on him though...

Can see curtin ending up like the bont

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Great player!

Curtin has 5 cm on him though...

Weddle is near 195, it’s only a couple cm.

Considering weddle has a lot more pace and endurance too…

 

[Hollow Knight]

Darcy is the only one I’d swap Morris for. Otherwise, thrilled to keep him. What a steal.

 

[juss]

Not quite what Donald Bradman was to cricket, but I would not be swapping Sam for anyone else in the competition.

I genuinely think he can kick 100 goals in a season one day.
He's so tall that few defenders can match him at that highest point, he's quick enough on the lead, and he's highly skilled.

With another 5 kilos to his frame, he's very hard to stop and playing at Marvel is a very good place to kick goals.

 

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

Darcy has 3 less goals than Thiltorpe in 8 less games… and is younger….

Best forward talent since Buddy.

 

[T2B_]

Darcy is ridiculous and a platinum chip type player. End thread.

 

[Dazb86]

People shouldn't be too worried about Darcys future strength he already averages the most contested marks in the league by a margin and leads the league in totals despite missing the 8 games.

You must be a lovely person.

Sounds like you're in a fair bit of debt.

When you put it like that, it's hard to debate against

 

[Substance]

Darcy is averaging 17.6 PR if you take out the game he was subbed early. That puts him 3rd in the AFL behind 2 teammates. That's ridiculous for a key forward.

Id take either but at this stage of their careers im taking thilthorpe the guy is more accomplished in the ruck and can do everything that darcy does

Actually it's quite easy to counter that argument. He'll have to prove himself in finals

I'd take Darcy as a pure forward.

I still don't think TT is been played in his best position. Hybrid ruck-forward, starts around the aground then pushes forward and creates mismatches.

Of the lesser fancied players, Shannon Neale has 23 goals (2.6 per game) and 56 score involvements (6.2 per game) over his last 9 games. Not bad for a 39 gamer.

Doesn’t have the flashy, highlight plays that some of the more talked-about guys do, but he is already extremely reliable and improving almost weekly.

He will be a great focal point for your mob for the next decade.
