2016 Forwards

[Here2tellyouwhy]

Sgray's on my watch list, even at the awkward price. If he plays a mayor role in the midfield rotations this year, that could also affect Chad's midfield minutes.

Stop it. Just stop it.

My thoughts on the 2 Richmond premo forwards:

If you take out the two injury/sub effected scores from Deledio's season, his average was 119. Under priced. Lock.

Dusty 'No Tank' Martin is not going to like the new interchange cap. IMO less rotations means he will go missing in games more often. I'll be leaving him out.

What was Martins TOG last season.
I see Martin kicking more goals as a resting fwd tbh.
He's the strongest bastard in black and yellow, almost impossible to match up on as a resting fwd

He's not that unfit. He's by no means a huge endurance runner, but I'd say he's got his tank to 'midrange'/'average' amongst midfielders now.

Also, there's some stat that he was one of the top 1-on-1 forwards in the comp last year or something (I'll try find it), he could easily end up kicking 30-35 goals resting forward.

79.9% TOG in 2015 which isn't too bad for a mid.

I'd expect that to go up to 85% range in 2016 with more rests forward hopefully snagging us an extra goal or two!

Dusty a lock. Best average last year and can only get better or at worst stay the same. Reckon as a fwd he's a lock.

Managed preseason. PASS.

I like when Richmond isolate him in F50. He's very dangerous in one on ones.

He looks heavy on that pic. Not good if he's got foot problems.

Wouldn't look out of place in an EJ Whitten Legends match.

You're not wrong. I'm passing on him. With no subs, he'll be managed in cotton wool and rested often it seems. Would ONLY consider when he's on the bubble and showing good form/fitness.

Even then I wouldn't touch Wells. Sure to hobble off injured the 1st week you bring him in. Bit like Daisy, only older and fatter.

Yep. Those foot injuries are career killers.

One of these years, your high risks picks will surely pay off.

I dont see buddy as high risk
I see barlow as DT relevant whose reached his SC max
Buddy has massive upside.
If buddy was priced at 540k+ I'd think twice

My def will be creative in 2016..

That's a promise

He hasn't averaged 100+ since 2012 and hasn't played more than 19 games since 2010. His best years are behind him. Prove me wrong, Buddy, prove me wrong.

Still got 8 years to redeem himself. Never again.

Harry Cunningham is someone who is going higher up on the watch list. 4th year of AFL, 22 years old, 22 and 19 games in the last 2 years which shows he is clearly best 22 at the Swans, this just screams breakout contender. With the omission of Lewis Jetta from the team someone has to step into that wing/half forward role. I think Harry could just be that man. The only thing I am cautious of is Isaac Heeney and Callum Mills, both are genuine midfielders so you'd think they'd warrant a spot on the wing. I'm hoping though that Sydney continue to develop them both in the forward line.

Cunningham finished the year with scores of 90, 84 and 111. He kicked goals in all of those games and averaged 18 touches.

The biggest downfall could be the strength of the rest of the Sydney team. Hannerbury, Kennedy, Parker, Mitchell, Jack, McVeigh, McGlynn, Heeney and Mills. Does Cunningham sit in front or behind McVeigh in that list? I think he could step right into a wing role next season, maybe push his average up to that 90 region. He did have 4 games under 6 disposals. That'll be where he makes his biggest improvement this year. If he turns those games into 15 disposal games his average jumps already. Hopefully he is one guy that can benefit from the sub rule going away. I'll be watching closely come NAB Cup.

You could throw Rampe into the mix too.

I think the addition of Talia could move Rampe into a more of attacking role yes I agree, I think his game more suits that sweeping role, like what McVeigh has done well the last few years.

Yep, and reports of him training with mid group.
