Depends if he played permantly forward. If so 50 is close. Still think he will spend most time in the middle especially with Gibbs gone
Rose tinted glasses ?
Toby green would play a similar position that’s proposed and he ended up with 45 in a superior team
There is no chance Murphy would get bear 50 in a season but if played in position all year
 
Any love on here for ex-blue Blaine Johnson. I thought the kid was pretty solid when here just didn’t get a run after starting as a rookie. Now 22yrs - 187cm - kicked 59 goals in the WAFL. Plays as a medium sized lead up forward. I’d take another shot. Not the worst option IMO and we do have some roster spots to fill.

Surprised no-one has picked up Tom Lamb either, just saying.

I doubt SOS would go back to the same well, but the W.A. teams would possibly have some interest in him as a rookie.

I thought Holman may get a look in last year also, but when you're burnt, it's not easy getting back into the system,

And we learnt from the mistake.
Yeah I get that, but Johnson was only young when we let him go. He’s still only 22 and plays a position of need IMO. I feel we get the ball enough, but don’t finish it. 59 goals in a good quality league deserves a second chance IMO. He’s also known, which makes a bit of difference also. Anyway, I would.

Blaine's main problem is that he's reasonably slow. Hard to make it at AFL level as a small/medium forward without pace.
Sorry for hogging the thread, but I actually debate this. He’s a tweener to use a NBA term. He’s a burst forward at South Fremantle and they have a couple of others in Kelly and Schloithe I’m sure we are looking at, so SOS will have seen a bit of him. Kicked 9 in one game.

He was slow, and he's still slow. I've seen 20+ games from him over the years on top of his WAFL clips and he really cannot keep up.

Agree with this, but I think he would look alright in a forward line where the ball is coming in quickly & accurately. Blaine unfortunately was at Carlton at a time when the ball used to take eons to get into our forward line & would come in haphazardly.
 
don't know that you can put docherty's midfield time last year, down to bolton wanting him to play midfield in the future, or playing him there because we had a couple of injuries to key midfielders. the same reason simpson got pushed up the field and got caught out in general play so much and looked to have gone backward.
who remembers andrew walker kicking 50+ goals that year? mick malthouse had the bright idea to play him off the half back flank.
