i think the saints should go after two sorts of players
a half forward flanker - pettifer, ebert, ryan o'keefe
a key position forward - fevola, mark williams
if st.kilda get pettfier and say williams, i think the saints forward line would be upstopable.
HFF: Milne CHF: Roo HFF: Pettifer
FP: Watts FF: Kosi FP: Williams
This to you know may seem crappy, but if we take this into consideration
Ruck: Gardiner
Ruck Rover: Hayes
Rover: Dal Santo
Centre: Ball
Throw in Montagna and Brendon Goddard on the wing, fiora.
The delivery into the foward line would be awesome and people such as pettifer, milne and williams would be playing on the 3rd, 4th and 5th best defenders, which many teams dont have... and then we still have watts a tall KPP, playing on sides 6th best defender, i think he will make an impact!
in conclusion
Riewoldt will kick 50+ goals in '08
Kosi will kick 50+ goals in '08
Pettfier will kick 40+ (playing on the likes of bradley/tom williams as defenders)
Williams will kick 50+
Milne will kick 45+
Watts will chip in for 25+ goals
Midfield will kick there usual 30 for the year
Half back line: Gram, Goose and Sam Fisher will kick 30 between them.
Thats 320 goals if no one else kicks goals...so
320 x 6 = 1910
1910 / 22 = 86.818 points per game
so even if when we lose games with 65 points on the scoreboard the next week we come out and win by 10 goals kicking 20 for the game..
who ever said our window is closed......is wrong
saints theory to win the flag complete.
