Leading Goalkickers

[Nige_Bix]

I was wondering if anyone out there is aware of who our leading goalkickers are this year. We never seem to have anyone in the top afl list - and that's not necessarily a bad thing either.

Is there a place where we can check these stats?

Thanks Jars

Hmm - perhaps it is a worry that our best two players are scoring the most goals! - seems a bit like my old school teams!

I guess it reflects our forward line problems re lack of personnel at certain times too.

How many games has Bode missed? I would have expected more from him.

Mods would be laughing in his sleep

Wayne Carey

He will run rampant in the finals.

Well, here's hoing anyway!!

Perrie

Nah I am going for Welsh

 

[noddy]

I'll go for Sarge to top the goal kicking list,


Could any one of us have predicted Ian to play the way he has this year & improve his kicking technique by at least 110%??

Always knew he could do it,

I have to be the first one to say that I didn't think he would improve this much. I always thought he had a great work ethic and good pair of hands but apart from that his kicking and ground level skills were bugger all. His kicking has improved out of sight. He is a lot better from set shot and his kicking in field play and on the run seems to be improving as well. I still have a query on his ground level skills but I guess that will take time.

This time last year I would cringe when he is having a shot at goal. Now I am reasonably comfortable.

Yeah, of course you did noddy!!! We all did!!!

Seriously, none of the players we all nominated as the big improvers such as Rutten, Hentschel etc have had much of an influence at all.

The 2 big improvers without a doubt are the 2 former ugly ducklings in Perrie and Shirley. Well done to these 2 boys.

Jars has done a great job with Perrie's set shots for goal. The establishment of a set rythmic run-up has made Perrie a reasonably reliable shot for goal (bye bye helicopter punts )

Sarge has to be the favourite

Seriously, could this be the year when the lowest total to win the AFC 'goal'den boot award is posted? (40 by Fudd in 2001)

Definetly!!!!!!

No one is going to kick 40+ this year.

Which doesn't really matter, as long as a whole bunch of players kick 30+. One focus just makes life easier for the opposition in my view. Still, kind of ironic that we all expected that this year our club would have a settled and potent forward 6, instead we've been ravaged by injuries and it is likely that whomever wins the top boot award will probably have about 35 goals to his name.

Ah footy.......
