Is there a second forward in the league who has kicked 45 goals a year as consistently as Darling ? he isn't an elite KP first forward but close to elite second forward.
The group is elite, not necessarily each individual. Do you lack basic comprehension skills?
Midfield and small forwards are the weaknesses. Rioli should replace LeCras as LeCras is useless in big games and he and Cripps essentially play the same role too. The midfield will only improve if Venables slots straight in and dominates - other than that Gaff is outside, Yeo is used as a utility and the others aren't good enough, especially the inside mids.
Elite as in the totality of the group. Darling is a more than capable and handy second tall forward, Lycett provides everything you want from a guy his size and that’s a good contest every time and Vardy showed enough last year to suggest good depth.
Wrong thread
never a wrong thread to talk about James Franco
Have you heard the James Franco song?
Massive transformation.
Not really. We are a poor contested footy side, and Priddis was our strongest contested player. The logic isn't that we lost a Brownlow player but rather that our weakness has become even weaker.
Hope you're right!
With priddis gone I think you will see redden step up as the inside mid, may not dominate but should provide a solid contest.
