Our Key forward pecking order

🥰 Love BigFooty? Join now for free.

To me this is what it should be, invest in the youth Lynch serves as a bit of protection while they develop.

1. Lynch
2. Armstrong
3. Jonty
4. Fawcett
5. Sims
6. Lefau
7. Bauer

Blight to me is a FB. I know they are trying him as a forward but I can't see that sticking.

agree with the pecking order of this list.
Only Fawcett and Sims would possibly swap with each other.
Bauer won't make it
Lefau won't be a long term option
 
No way would I play Lefau over any of Armstrong, Fawcett or Faull if Lynch is fully fit.

Lefau should never have been a key forward though, was only out of necessity and he did a pretty good job to be fair. But he's more a 3rd tall size and player, I don't think he's competing against any of those for a spot, he would play the spot Bauer started the season in.

I wouldn't play 3 of those talls together anyway, who knows how long Lynch has left, he could still play another good season or 2, or he could be one injury away and its all over quickly.

If we had to start next season with no Lynch, I think Lefau would be a great 3rd option with Armstrong and Jonty as the 2 keys.

If there is no Lynch then Lefau gets a spot absolutely. If Lynch is in the team I would be reluctant but I think Yze doesn't care about getting senior games into the young guys.

lefau is way ahead of the others ffs he was our main fwd last year
 
How is he way ahead? He's coming off an ACL, he hasn't played footy in over 12 months. He ain't 2nd in line behind Lynch.
Well not on present form obviously, but on what he showed last season. He was good as a lead up forward, and being good at ground level and in particular his defensive work makes him an interesting player.

I think we need two tall mobile half forwards together with Lynch. Armstrong and Faull at some stage in the near future, but Lefau who has shown he can impact games could also be in that mix if he comes back well. Lynch probably doesn't have much longer left, so perhaps all three can play at some stage. Sims is not far off either, but as he is also a ruck, he will need a bit longer.

I reckon you'll be surprised at how quickly Lefau rejoins the AFL team once fit. There's a role there with his name on it lessening the physical load on Faull and backing up Nank in the ruck.
 
1. Dean Putt
2. Nick Westhoff
3. Cleve Hughes
4. Jayden Post
5. Todd Elton

I've been watching as much VFL as AFL and personally can't yet pick any particular difference between Faull & Fawcett.
I'd agree that I'm about over Bauer and he can go bottom of the list.
