Not sure there’s been many KPFs that have had a 30-goal increase from any total pre-25yo, to any total post-25yo

He kicked 60 when he was 22, though. As quality as he is, Fog hasn’t shown that ceiling yet
RT is much more likely to hit those heights IMO

Fogs goal kicking is a work of art, such a massive weapon. Just look at the decent KPFs who get lots of opportunities but you can’t trust their goal kicking.
Fog won’t need their number of chances.
Plus his field kicking is elite.

You’re pushing it. Three injury interrupted years before kicking 60
Can’t we accept that Fog is very solid, but it’s more unlikely than not he’ll ever be a 70 goal forward?
I guess it also helps that the two teams we've played so far were garbage defensively, which allowed us to get a lot of quick, clean ball movement. I want to see us up against some of the good teams like Hawthorn, Brisbane etc before I start getting out the lotion and tissues. But all you can do is beat what's in front of you, and we've at least done that convincingly.

You're right, it's not every so often that the Gary Ablett, Barry Hall, Alistair Lynch, Brad Johnson, Brendan Fevola, Jonathan Brown, Fraser Gehrig types come along
Don't make me bring up Gordon Coventry
But yes it's unlikely
Once Tex goes I think we will straighten out a lot. However I think Fog will end up roaming the top of the 50 and Thilthorpe goes to the square. So he likely might not be that 70 goal forward because he is more that high forward linking role tex plays now.You're right, it's not every so often that the Gary Ablett, Barry Hall, Alistair Lynch, Brad Johnson, Brendan Fevola, Jonathan Brown, Fraser Gehrig types come along

Fog has been in a bottom 4 team, hasn’t had the opportunity really yet.

10 of the last 13 coleman medallists have kicked below 70 goals, I don't think hyper fixating on that number is necessary, or was really Jo's point.
He’s clearly a talented bugger, if that’s the point he’s making. A lot of talented buggers hover around the 40-60 mark for their careers, that’s just where I see Fog in the context of this forward line
Fair point, our I50 delivery is a lot better now, but you could say that helps all our forwards
He’s still probably the secondary target to RT, whether the side is good or bad
In a vacuum… maybe. Hard to kick 70 in this era

Watching the first 2 games this year I do feel like Fog is now playing with that confidence/ borderline arrogance that he did as a man child playing against boys when he was a junior.
Also, to be clear, I want him playing with borderline arrogance. It's always felt like with Darcy confidence is key. When he knows he can monster you, you're in serious trouble!
