Assessing the 2nd best key forwards at each club by goals kicked and ranking them so far (End of round 18).
Generally to qualify there has to be another key forward kicking more goals at the club.
If there are only two key forwards and they both have same number of goals the one with fewer behinds or goals per game was selected. Some exceptions have been made based on personal opinion.
For clubs that run 3 tall forwards selecting only the one of them can be subjective.
Injuries have meant sometimes these players have played as the sole key forward which can help or hinder their output depending on your opinion. Also means they all haven't played the same number of games.
1. Jonathan Patton (GWS) 34 goals, 11 behinds, 33 contested marks, 31 marks inside 50.
2. Jack Darling (WCE) 32 goals, 19 behinds, 24 contested marks, 40 marks inside 50.
3. Cale Hooker (Essendon) 32 goals, 17 behinds, 38 contested marks, 34 marks inside 50.
4. Josh Jenkins (Adelaide) 28 goals, 14 behinds, 17 contested marks, 27 marks inside 50.
5. Tim Membrey (St Kilda) 26 goals, 12 behinds, 31 contested marks, 34 marks inside 50.
6. Peter Wright (GCS) 23 goals, 16 behinds, 22 contested marks, 32 marks inside 50.
7. Sam Reid (Sydney) 22 goals, 12 behinds, 28 contested marks, 32 marks inside 50.
8. Jarrad Waite (North Melbourne) 21 goals, 18 behinds, 10 contested marks, 25 marks inside 50.
9. Tom McDonald (Melbourne) 20 goals, 5 behinds, 19 contested marks, 13 marks inside 50.
10. Shane Kersten (Fremantle) 19 goals, 15 behinds, 10 contested marks, 21 marks inside 50.
11. Jack Gunston (Hawthorn) 18 goals, 10 behinds, 9 contested marks, 13 marks inside 50.
12. Jackson Trengrove (Port Adelaide) 16 goals, 10 behinds, 19 contested marks, 15 marks inside 50.
13. Harry Taylor (Geelong) 16 goals, 10 behinds, 26 contested marks, 19 marks inside 50.
14. Charlie Curnow (Carlton) 14 goals, 8 behinds, 27 contested marks, 20 marks inside 50.
15. Jack Redpath (Western Bulldogs) 11 goals, 8 behinds, 7 contested marks, 18 marks inside 50.
16. Ben Reid (Collingwood) 8 goals, 7 behinds, 10 contested marks, 9 marks inside 50.
17. Josh Schache (Brisbane) 8 goals, 4 behinds, 1 contested marks, 7 marks inside 50.
18. Toby Nankervis (Richmond) 6 goals, 4 behinds, 19 contested marks, 5 marks inside 50.
Notes:
Tom McDonald (20.5) or Jack Watts (20.9). Kind of tricky with Hogan in and out of the team. Went with McDonald as he is a slower more closer to goals type player.
Charlie Curnow (14.8) chosen over Jack Silvagni (15.15) as Silvagni is more of a 3rd tall.
Bulldogs not really sure who to pick so went with Redpath (11.8) compared to Boyd (7.3), Cloke (6.4), Dickson (6.1). As Jake Stringer has been their best big bodied player forward.
Richmond haven't really used a 2nd tall so Nankervis resting forward is the only option.
Tim Membrey is only 188cm and is by far the shortest named however he plays like a key forward at the Saints highlighted by his contested marking numbers.
