Top 10 Small Forwards

[scooterselwood]

I'm not gonna do my own list as I feel I would be too biased, but what would be the top 10 rated small forwards in the AFL, for you.

When I say small forward I mean in the mold of a Milne, Didak, Betts, Rioli, LeCras, Stokes, Varcoe, Nathan Brown, Steve Johnson, Schneider...

 

[SirJimi05]

Define small forward.

I thought this is what the new list board is for these type of threads are clogging the main board.

 

[AG]

1. Steve Johnson
2. Leon Davis
2. Cyril Rioli
3. Mark LeCras
4. Stephen Milne
5. Eddie Betts
6. Jason Akermanis
7. Shaun Higgins
8. Travis Varcoe
9. Adam Schneider
10. Matthew Stokes

Johnson and Aker are probably not considered small forwards. More mid sized forwards. Only including Davis in this because I have him as a forward in my AA team and he's small. Probably more of a midfielder though. Same with Higgins. Probably not all true small forwards but it's close enough.

 

[enosis7]

yes, this is always problematic.

You get small forwards who play like taller ones (Medhurst, Ebert)
Then you get tall forwards like Steven Johnson who can play like small ones.

Smallest Forward - Robin Nahas

 

[careyrips(I)]

Have to say Nathan Brown (Rich) and Didak in there as well

 

[careyrips(I)]

Monfries?

Surely not on this season's form. Didaks only played about 4 games hasn't he?

He's starred in them....3 goals and 20 touches on the weekend, I think the game before he got injured he got 3 goals and about 30 touches.

On form displayed when fit, I'd have him in there.

I wouldn't go that far. He was good in the first two rounds and last Sunday but he was average against Geelong and Brisbane. He's missed 5 games with injury. When fit he'd be top 5 in this list but he's definately not based on this season.

Paul Chapman ????

Paul Chapman ????

He's more the Ryan O'Keefe midfielder/forward type player.

No love for Porplyzia?

If Aker (178cm) and B.Johnson (183cm) are classed as medium forwards then why have you got Steve Johnson (187cm) at number 1?

 

[El_Scorcho]

If Steve Johnson counts as a small forward then Motlop sure bloody does, which means he's easily in.

 

[Chief Crow]

Porplyzia has to be in the top 10 easily

 

[fryingpan]

If Steve Johnson counts as a small forward then Motlop sure bloody does, which means he's easily in.

Top 10 fancy pants yes, top 10 AFL small forwards, no.

 

[ttomred17]

Steve Johnson is way better than Motlop mate

 

[scooterselwood]

Steve Johnson is way better than Motlop mate

you idiot.

of course steve johnson shits on motlop but what he was saying was that if stevie j is classified as a small forward then daniel motlop is, as he is small and is more of a forward. And he was also saying if Daniel Motlop is classified as a small forward then he is definitely in the top 10, which is most definitely correct.

read previous posts etc first.

 

[James_Hutchy]

Lecras, Rioli, Betts not sure who else to put in there does stokes count

 

[De Iulio2Wiggins]

If Aker (178cm) and B.Johnson (183cm) are classed as medium forwards then why have you got Steve Johnson (187cm) at number 1?

Can we get some sort of limit on this? Under 180 cms? Averages more than a goal a game (i.e. not a mid)?

Because I dont memorise players heights. If thats the case then add Brad Johnson to the list. Or take all three out.

My bad, just read over it, for some reason i thought it said Motlop easily wins. Sure am an idiot

 

[Silvagnis]

Is Shane Edwards a small forward or a small midfielder?

Applies to Leroy Jetta too.
