Opinion Our leading goal kicker -2015

[free at last]

Not sure if this thread already exists.

Who will be our leading goal kicker in 2015?

I'm tipping Walters to be our leading goal scorer in 2015 followed by ballas.

 

[Simmofreo]

I still think Pav probably will be if he keeps his body good

 

[MadDocker]

Barring injuries, Walters.

 

[purplerunsdeep]

Walters or Ballas.... depending on who plays more in the mid

Would love for it to be tabs...

 

[democritus]

Walters will rotate through the middle with Ballas staying close to home.

I'm tipping Ballas to kick 50+ this season and lead the goalkicking
Pav to chime in with 40 or thereabouts.

Really hoping our mids start kicking more.

 

[jackkkkk]

Ballas 50
Walters 45
Pav 42
Mayne 40
Tabs 30
Crozier 25
Fyfe 24
Ape 15
Sandi 15
Clarke 15

Could you imagine.....

 

[Unique Name]

1. Walters
2. Pav
3. Ballas
4. Fyfe
5. Crozier
6. Hill
7. Barlow
8. D Pearce
9. Tabs
10. Mundy

 

[Admiral Byng]

Walters to get 600

 

[pokerspiv]

Ballas will be, mostly because he's the guy who plays closest to goal most often.

 

[Taylor]

Ballantyne kicking 5+ usually lifts the entire team to a 6 goal win so I'd like that to happen.

I'd like Stephen Hill to kick 60 goals this season from the wing but he would probably win the brownlow for that to happen.

Walters.

 

[clivenator26]

Sonny 49
Ballaz 42
Pav 36

 

[Clems Knee]

Sonny 49
Ballaz 42
Pav 36

Are you predicting Pav is going to be injured?
Pav 55
Balla 45
Son Son 40

 

[beetz]

Walters but I would expect a fairly even spread amongst the top goal kickers.

 

[Fred Ziffel]

Pavlich
Ballantyne
Walters
Mayne.
Crozier

 

[malpaso]

Pavlich

The emergence of Tabs and the fitness of Clarke (as compared to last year) combined with the dynamic duo will allow Pavlich to be more productive than last year.

 

[go_the_dockers]

Pavlich -50
Ballas -45
Walters -40
Sandi\Clarke -40 (Between them)
Taberner - 30
Fyfe - 20
Crozier - 20

 

[Nickos66]

I don't think Pav will figure prominently in goal kicking tallies, he's on the downward slide at this point in his career and is there more to take the pressure off the next gen of goal scorers. I'd be stoked if he kicked another 40 this year but his selflessness in releasing guys like Tabs, Ballas & Walters will be the real gauge of his impact this season IMO, as other teams will still man him up as if he was in his prime.

Walters
Ballas
Pav


Then all the mids rotating foward in:
Fyfe
Hill
Crozier
PearceD
Mundy

 

[AAACockburn]

Colin, with 5 goals a game from round 10.

 

[Nodgey]

Does anyone know off the top of their head, our highest season tally? I think I recall Pav getting 70+. Did Modra ever get to those hights??

Wow, I'd forgotten how dismal our 2009 & 2011 years were for goal returns.

The leading goal kicker's totals for the last 2 years could correlate in some way as to why we haven't been able to go all the way, compared to other top 4 teams highest player totals. In short, I don't think you'll find too many Premiership winning teams with leading goal scorers that can't crack the half century (although I'm sure there has been the rare exception to the rule).

 

[E Shed]

Still think Pav will win if he an stay on the park.
Then Walters and Balla on the next line with Crozier nipping at their heels.

There is the other side of the coin in the case of Fevola and J Reiwoldt early on where being the sole target in the team means the numbers were high but the team suffered.

Pavlich is a dead set legend

 

[WWSD]

I reckon Michael Walters will become Fremantle's new leading goal-kicker in 2015. He is a gun small forward and is a criminally underrated player outside of the Fremantle Football club. Another player who I think may feature heavily amongst your goal kickers this year is Matthew Taberner, who is likely to be Fremantle's CHF for this season.

Top 5 goal kickers for 2015

Michael Walters (55)
Matthew Pavlich (45)
Hayden Ballantyne (40)
Matthew Taberner (25)
Chris Mayne (20)
