Opinion Operation: Key Forward

[simoalley]

Yeah nah.

I can understand why people like GTA more. I personally prefer SR just because of the crazy factor. If I am going to be spending hours playing an open world sandbox crime game I would rather be a demigod that can jump half the map, fly, own a 'dubstep gun' and beat aliens to death with a weapon that looks like a sword that is a tail on a dinosaur. It is called 'The Violator'!

Love how we've gone from operation key foward to operation jump from a blimp with a dinosaur sword tail lol!

We really need someone to step up and become a high volume goal kicker this year.

I'll do it
To paraphrase Al Bundy... "Do not take me lightly. I once scored 4 goals in a single game for Polk High"

Completely agree, big concern for me. We have extremely solid prospects, but I would say not one of them would be in the top 25 of key forwards. Dixon is our best. But geez I hope someone can kick over 20 goals or we have no chance of finals

I'm not worried one tiny bit. Maybe I'm crazy.

If Dixon can play a full year he should kick around 40+. Lynch can too. Also if the young kids in the midfield take it up to another gear, then maybe we don't need Ablett there. Throw him in the forward pocket and he'll destroy any and every small defender in the league and will win the Coleman to go along with his 2 Brownlows. Eitherway while a dominant KP forward who kicks 60+ is nice, it's not absolutely necessary if you've got other avenues to goal. If Hall, Matera and Ablett can kick about 30 each them next year then we'll do well.

Sorry lads, but no performing key forward = no flags

It's a pretty common theme across history. It's not panic stations, but we need at least 1 key forward to kick 40-50 goals in a season in 2014 or 15.

Next season one of Day, Dixon or Lynch must stand up. It will be their 4th year, no more excuses. The club has shown faith in them by not recruiting a mature aged key fwd, time for them to deliver.

As an example In their 3rd year of footy Trav Cloke kicked 39, Tom Hawkins kicked 34, Roughead kicked 40 & Buddy kicked 73. Obviously having a mature midfield delivering makes a difference aswell as having other mature key fwds around them to take the best defenders. But our guys still under-performed this season, with Dixon kicking 19, Lynch 8 and young gun full fwd Day kicking 12 and then put into defence. Fingers crossed for a big improvement next season.

I actually have Lynch ahead of Dicko as a KPF. Not as valuable as a player in total, but purely up front could kick 50+ a season

Same. But it is gonna be awesome when we get one of our boys going

4th year is a test for the entire club, the coaching staff have always been clear that it has been a slow build, competitive for half a game in 2012, three quarters in 2013 and fully competitive in 2014

I am confident that this year, injury free will see us start to dominate
