Elliot and Fasolo are both small forwards. Despite having good marking ability, their game depends on crumbing/marking on a lead/setting up plays. Medium forwards are ones with strong body work, who are too strong for small defenders, but too agile for tall defenders, which is what Darling is and is something neither Elliot or Fasolo provides.
We have too many players that are good because they have this versatility to go through the midfield, but it's completely wasted and useless when there just isn't a spot for them there. This reminds me of Moneyball, we have invested too much resources into parts of the game that sets up the primary goal of each match, that is kicking goals.
Even if we overpay for 2 goals a game (Why are you using 1.8... Of course forwards are going to score less in their rookie years, dragging the average down), and it's the sort of performance we can expect in the future, at least 40 goals in a season. This 40 goals means more to us than most other clubs, we just need genuine forwards who kicks goals, ignore contribution up the ground, tackling pressure and bs, goal kicking is what we need. Regardless, pick 6 is obviously too much. Perhaps we should just do Sidebottom(If he's happy to go, IF, so those of you that are typing about this being unviable stop it now, all hypothetical trades at this trade)+pick 6 for Lever and pick 17. Pick 17 for Jack Darling (especially fair given his output).
