Simplistic as it is we need more goals in 2015 from our established forward line - who is the 2015 forward coach?
The AFL website gave our forward line a wrap:
The Eagles are the number one team in the AFL for time in forward half differential and it starts with their centre clearance work. The Eagles ranked third in in 2014 for centre clearances due to the tireless work of Brownlow medallist Matt Priddis and the imposing presence of Nic Naitanui. That generates the ball going forward and teams often put men behind the ball against West Coast to counter the centre dominance and clog space for the Eagles' power forwards Josh Kennedy and Jack Darling. One thing that is underrated with West Coast is the defensive work of the forwards. The Eagles ranked second in the AFL for scoring accuracy behind Hawthorn. They kicked incredibly accurately throughout the majority of the year however in four games against Port Adelaide, Carlton and Fremantle twice they kicked a combined total of 37.58. Those games cost them a place in September. – Alex Malcolm

A full season from Mark Le Cras is a must.
Is Callum Sinclair potentially a regular forward given Lycett has made the #2 ruck pos his own at this point?
