Only 3 players over 30 getting a good spread.

The goals list is funny. Judd leads it. Jeffy second and likely gone. Really should have a forward up there

 

[BM123]

Midfield and forward line need serious work.

Not enough recognized firepower up forward that we can rely on to deliver match winning scores consistently.

Midfield lacks depth.

No, he's gone off to win the flag he has been striving for so long.

First thing that really stood out to me.....

Menzel will kick his fair share but....

Waite never really seemed that the type that badly wanted a flag to me....

A lot of losses came around this year because Waite simply didn't want to work hard enough.

I didn't realise Dennis was that old either. If we can trade him for Jones or Tutt (preferably Jones) whilst he has down sort of value as he's contracted, then I'll be pleased. I like Dennis as a team guy, but I think it's a case of sell high while you can. If he has another year like this year and he's a FA next year, we won't get much.

 

[BM123]

I can't see Dennis been kept on past next year to be honest.

So the time is to sell now if he has value.

Dennis is quick but that's about it unfortunately

A straight swap for Tutt would be nice though.

 

[Styxx]

Dennis was drafted at around 21 or 22 years old so it can be deceptive.

I sense we may have decided to get Tutt to replace Garlett?

It would but if we could swing Dennis + 62 for Jones and Tutt I'd be ecstatic....as much as I don't want Tutt. Reports have suggested Dogs would accept pick 62 for Tutt and a third for Jones, surely Dennis = a third? We need to keep our picks.

Dennis is a tagger with limited kicking ability, minimal ball-finding ability and is currently outside our best 22.

I can't see us getting anything more then a fourth round pick at best.

 

[Jabba73]

Severe shortage of 29 and 31+ yro on the list.

The lack of goal kickers are killing us. Henderson the only one likely from the top 10 on the list. The other clubs defenders must be shaking in their boots at the prospect of coming up against our forward line based on that. Lucky we have some likely youngsters starting to turn that around.

where is the phallus length guide and sperm count?

Can't be compiled until you report back from the pre-season training camp.

Oh how I love it when you work naughty ODN!

 

[jj1978]

Quite scary looking at that list... Unless we have no injuries next year and all players play to their potential we may have another hard year in 2015.

 

[Azul]

I know he's trade-bait but from the height, games played and age, you'd have to say Kane Lucas is a keeper.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Although Garlett and Waite didn't kick a lot of goals this year, they do attract attention which allows others to get into the game. 4 games without both of them this year and we had 7, 7, 11 goals in three, and one hig scoring game vs Saints where Casboult, Henderson and White had days out.

We may struggle structurally if all the attention goes to Casboult or Henderson next year. Walker going forward is pivotal as he mixes things up.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

I know he's trade-bait but from the height, games played and age, you'd have to say Kane Lucas is a keeper.

Good pace, good tank. Decision making lets him down, confidence is shattered. He has so many attributes. Just a matter of whether we can extract them. With Garlett and maybe Armfield going, it's not the worst idea to leave some pace on the list. We're not going to get much for him. Although if ANY other club comes calling, he's walking into the PSD if we don't accept some token 4th rounder for him. He wants to play.

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

I reckon sometimes we can over analyse it. When Fev left we all thought we would struggle to kick goals yet we actually found more scoring options which was a god send. We will find blokes that go forward and will kick goals. It all comes down to midfield supply and having a multi pronged attack with multiple scoring options. I have faith in our coaching staff to get that mix right. Looking at our list midfield types like Gibbs, Yarran, Walker and Everitt could all be goal kickers next season. Embrace the change people, we may actually come out the other end of it a more dangerous attack!

 

[Mezzoculo]

Any chance you could change the goals to goals per game? Removing longevity at the club may give us a better idea of who is kicking our goals.

It looks so odd because it favours players who have played the most games. Average goals per game would be more informative.

I can post all of the categories together so we can see the correlation. I don't find that stat too relevant anyway. Too many playing back and forward, tallies affected by the presence of Waite, Garlett and before that Betts.
