Think he wore 42 in the practice match

Correct

 

[Bjchan13]

Keep him in the 42. If he folds Saad in half there will be a hint of irony.

It started out with a praccy vs the scum
How did it end up like this?
It was only the scum, it was only the scum

 

[Donakebab]

And the Weagles supporters will boo him if he plays for us against them even though they delisted him.

You could have just left the bolded and it would be accurate.

And the ump's touching his chest now
he waves his arms now
let the ball go
and I just can't look; ump's killing us
they're taking control

In the back, turning into playing on
Next they're streaming down the field
Kicking it through the goals
But it's just the price we pay

I have nothing after that though. And even that is pretty average

Learnings are calling me
Close my teary eyes
Cos there's no brightside

 

[Bombers36]

New saviour.....?????

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Kicked 1 goal on Jones and two on Weitering. That aint gimmes by any stretch, man might actually have big upside.

That’s certainly David v Goliath(s)!

Destiny is calling upon Alec Waterman now.
'cos he's our new guy.

Yeah that's yuck.

 

[Ati Tude]

The scary thing is this guy could win our goal kicking, especially if Stringer misses a handful of games.

Why's that scary?

 

[rumply]

goals so far, love that kick for his 2nd

 

[Shane Heard]

Has a beautiful low ball drop and genuine power through the kick.

Me like.

 

[Don Won]

We’ll have to settle for small victories in 2021. Wouldn’t mind him beating Kennedy by two goals for the Coleman.

 

[Ati Tude]

Why's that scary?

Indictment on the others ie scary that our forward line is so weak (inexperienced) that a guy that got a last minute lifeline could be our best forward. The forward line is going to need to function well as a group to have impact. You can't see any of them ripping a game open by themselves with the possible exception of Stringer so are going to need to do well to as a team to manage match ups, who moves closer to goal based on their defender, what space to leave and for who etc.

 

[naraku]

If he flattens Saad, buries Fantasia and gives a good shirt front to Daniher, job done.

The good thing is everyone playing forward look capable and require attention from the opposition. We could actually end up with an even spread of 6 guys kicking 30+ goals for the year. Wright, Hooker, Stringer and Tippa all proven 30+. Jones and Waterman looking capable. I think we can get 50 out of a Parish/Smith/Caldwell/Langford combination as well. Laverde would've been nice forward this year with actual talls around him.

6 guys aren't going to kick 30+ goals this season. I assume that has never happened before for any team including us in 2000 (I havent looked it up). But, we could very well have quite an even split across the year as there probably won't be an obvious focal point and smalls like Tippa and hopefully Waterman are capable of kicking say 1 goal a week.

Hawthorn in 2012 has been the highest scoring team of the last 10+ years. They only had 5 make 30+ and teams are scoring less points per game today than they were in 2012.

Thats crazy. Thats 260 goals so between the 6 of them they averaged 43 goals for the year each. I dont think we'll get 1 player kicking over 40 for the year. Im not saying its likely to happen for us that we get 6 kicking 30+ either. But 4 of our forwards have done it and 2 look capable. Its possible to get 180 goals out of those 6 players, and it wouldnt add up to us kicking a winning score every week.

For comparison, this is all the tuggers players who kicked 10 or more in 2019. Scoring has dropped substantially, if we got 180 out of our best 6 goal scorers, we'll be playing finals.
