We don't rely on a 21 year old KPF. Our two top goal kickers are medium/smalls and average 1.5 and 2 goals a game in 2017. Can you tell me who WCE relied on in their Grand Final years and if they had a couple of big forwards who dominated?
Yes you do. Who else is there to provide a big target around the ground?
West Coast of 2006 are irrelevant. That was a different era of footy when teams were flooding and kicking some awfully woeful scores. The AFL has moved on from that era. Get with the times.
Elliot and Fasolo are handy players but when they're the guys carrying the forward line that's worrisome.
It's good to see like Buckley you totally neglect the forward line though like it's an irrelevant part of the game.
Port is 4th and have one KPF in their top 10 goal kickers so far this season. WB are another who don't have that dominant KPF and won a flag.
Collingwood's forward line isn't as bad as people make it out to be. Guys like Fasolo, Elliott and Hoskin-Elliott are dangerous in any side. It's all about how the footy comes in to them that makes them dangerous.
Port Adelaide has multiple players who can hit the scoreboard, as do the Bulldogs. Collingwood has Elliott who I rate and Fasolo who wastes far too many chances. Teams can have a field day when your two forward targets are midgets and your big target is a 21 year old who still needs more time. Marchbank had a field day against Collingwood simply swooping on kicks intended for the likes of Moore, Fasolo and Elliot.
Generally it's midfields that wins games for all teams. I can't quite comprehend how any part of a ground other than a midfield can win you a game of footy. Who feeds the forwards and makes them look good?
To win a footy game you cannot simple be good in the midfield. Surely you'd understand this after watching the likes of Pendlebury, Treloar and Sidebottom rack up touches week after week and still ending up losing.
Again, Collingwood's midfield is good at making itself look good, but not it's forwards, and that comes down to its delivery inside 50 and their ability to move the ball quickly from one end to the other.
It's not like we're seeing fast ball movement then the forwards cocking it up.
It's not exactly easy for midfielders when their two targets are the heights of Elliot and Fasolo. Every good team has a tall target down there that can take a mark close to goal or take one around the wing/forward 50 area and help set play up better. Elliot and Fasolo are good players but this isn't Buddy Franklin sitting down there having kicks go ten metres in front or behind him. Those two are only so good.
Treloar in particular has shit disposal but it's ridiculous to act like it's simply all on the likes of him when the forwards do nothing.

If not for Levi's rich vein of form (by his standards) Cox would be your #1 KPF at Carlton, so I'd steer clear of the flaccid trolls.[/QUOTE]
That's hilarious and I wish you could have written that at the start of the post so I didn't bother with the rest of it.
Weitering, Curnow, young McKay and even Liam Jones are far superior as football players. Not like Carlton is relevant anyway. We're rebuilding. You're meant to be top 8 apparently and your forward line is so talented that you play a guy who barely does a thing when he's out there. Sums up where your club is at when a publicity stunt becomes a key part of your forward line.
