He needs 40 plus goals.
Anything less and we have to start looking elsewhere.
No more excuses.
It depends on where he plays. People thought the sun shone out of Petrie's behind and he averaged less than a goal a game at CHF.
I think you should really average around 2 to 2.5 goals a game at full forward as a bare minimum and about 1.5 should be the bare minimum from CHF.
That would be 55 for a FF and 33 for a CHF. We had enough supply to make the bare minimum targets, we just didn't have the supply to go well past it. While our midfield, or lack thereof, was a big reason for our poor year, most of our forwards were also dysfunctional so to not assign blame to them is not accurate.
A lot of easy dropped marks, missing sitters from dead in front, not presenting, leading to the wrong position, leading to the space of your team mate and dragging your man to the contest, standing around like a cone and clogging space up to lead into. These were common problems last year and when our mids looked up there was rarely someone offering an option so we held onto the ball and often lost possession.
So while a better midfield will help significantly, our forwards also need to extract the digit and give the mids some confidence to go with the first option, that being an option created by a forward busting his buns presenting an option to the mids. Warren gives the mids an option, we need more of his kind of endeavour from the senior key position players who should be the go to players.
