Best medium forward

[Lingsface]

Who is the best medium sized forward in the competition?

Heeney, Mihochek, Stringer, Fritsch, Zurharr, Breust, Fyfe?

If we are putting [PLAYERCARD]Toby Greene[/PLAYERCARD] in this category he is the best in my opinion. Is an argument for him being a small forward though.

At 191cm not sure you can call Fyfe medium sized either

Not who was, the question is who is

Bayley Fritsch, criminally under rated

I wouldn’t consider him a key forward or a small forward though.

fritsch is a very good player mihocek is a 4 time leading goal kicker now for Collingwood.

I would consider him a midfielder who maybe this year will become a full time forward a bit like Fyfe. Will have to wait and see.

Mihocek is not a medium sized forward.

Last year on goals...
Fritsch 55 from 24 games
Heeney 49 from 25 games
Bolton 43 goals from 23 games
Breust 40 goals from 19 games

Before looking at the goals, I was thinking Fritsch, Heeney & Breust.

Is Fyfe even really a forward at all? He's moved down there now as his career is winding down, but he hasn't shown much chops as a forward so far

There's many ahead of him in the conversation for best in the comp medium forward wise

I will be backing him for leading medium sized forward point kicker...

Yes I’m just putting it in there for conversation. He did start as a forward so I’m interested to see how he does.

Fergus Greene

He was good today, Koschitzke showed some very good things in small patches.

191cm makes Fyfe the height of Darling.
I suppose there is something to be said about the way they play, not just their height though.

Which is why I’d still class Toby as a medium forward

Some people have big frames though. Jarryd Roughead was similar. Listed at 193cm but had the mass of someone closer to 105kg's.

Yes this is true , Darling plays more traditional key forward role though. I think he would be the perfect 3rd tall though and may find it more difficult without Kennedy.

Toby is good enough overhead to be considered a medium forward. I just think he is a class above the other names in that position.

[PLAYERCARD]Toby Greene[/PLAYERCARD] by the length of the Flemington straight.

A sensationally gifted Australian Rules footballer

 

[Giant Pete]

Toby. Does it all.

Fritsch, Greene, Bruest.

Bruest very underrated though. Hasn't had a year under 30 goals in his career other than an injury interrupted 2020. Has kicked 40+ in 7 out of 12 seasons. Whilst he is rarely in the best 2-3 small/mid forwards in the comp, he's been in the top 5-6 basically his whole career. Never wastes a shot on goal either so he can be 3rd, 4th, 5th banana When Hawthorn were stacked, and still contribute his 2-3 goals a game.

Fritsch.

 

[bird_man]

Depends how you choose to judge it I suppose

Someone like Martin would probably have been a 50 goal a year forward if he had just played there but because he spent time between mid a forward obviously his goal tally isn’t as high as the ones that play there permanently

I really rate Greene. Kicks goals but also gets up the ground and creates them.

Gunston. Barely missing the big sticks helps.
