Best small forward duo

[JohnnyDrama1]

Best small forward duo from the one club currently playing

 

[ThisIsJake]

None of Boomer, Motlop or Mcglynn play predominantly forward.

It's out of the Hawthorn and Freo duos easily. I've gone for the Freo duo just, no real reason apart from if you asked me which of the pair I'd want I'd go for the Freo, no defining stats or anything to back it up, just an opinion formed from watching them.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Freo boys

 

[Super Hans]

Walters and Ballantyne. Might be different if Rioli could get on the park.

 

[a_fighting_fury]

Yeah, Ballantyne and Walters

 

[Bardo State]

Rioli and Breust are the two best small forwards in the league. Walters and Ballantyne are probably the third and fourth.

 

[juss]

Went with the Hawks duo.

 

[blitzer]

I voted the Hawks duo but I must admit I've always thought of Breust as more of a medium forward. Freo is damned close though. It was a tough call. Daylight to the next best pair.

Rioli and Breust are the two best small forwards in the league. Walters and Ballantyne are probably the third and fourth.

That's funny since in the last two years Lindsay Thomas has kicked more goals than Rioli, Walters, and Ballantyne and only has one less than Breust though he's played seven more games than LT.

Are you saying that LT is the best? Or close to the best?

 

[Heaps of fun]

Would have to be close to.

 

[Jade's_]

Freo. Walters is a jet and Ballantyne criminally underrated.
Hawks pair second. Daylight third

 

[Kenny_01]

Would have to be close to.

He doesn't crumb as well, he doesn't run back in transition as quick, he doesn't defend as hard. He marks and goals though but needs to be the i50 target to be really effective. Maybe it's just me but the other 4 seem to be more team orientated and more well rounded.

Walters > Cyril

Walters > Cyril

Breust > Walters

Rioli and Walters have been injured and LT's game is very one dimensional.

Thomas does literally NOTHING better than the rest apart from kick more goals. Ballantyne's kicked 10 more than Thomas this year as well. Rioli's been injured both years, Walters has been injured this year and only kicked 7 goals less last year. So it's not like it's a massive gap anyway.

Thomas is not even close to any of these small forwards. He puts nowhere near as much pressure or gives as much to the structure as these players do, and then you get to crumbing and he gets blown away.

Kicks more goals and is the best mark of the group but generally I agree with what you're saying though I don't think he's as far behind in the above categories as you're implying (ie tackles, 1%ers, goal assists etc).

Carmelo Anthony and JR Smith

 

[Bailey01]

Ballantyne and Walters

Dives like he's on a springboard.
The others don't.
There's the difference.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Wingard and Neade

 

[Young Gun #6]

Wingard and Robbie Gray...

 

[Stromageddon]

Unfairly limiting this to duos. Port have Gray, Wingard, Neade and Monfries that would get a game in all 18 teams in the comp.

4 > 2 so Port win!
