and your point in bringing this up? i cannot believe that calling this d*ck a w*nker is an offense deserving of a warning
When you are as consistently wrong, myopic and ignorant as pokerspiv is, you need to resort to shit like that.

The unrealistic part is expecting him to have opportunities to beat his opponent enough times every week to kick 5 goals, in the team that is dead last on the ladder and has lost every game this season.

Footy is a team sport, an individual player can only do so much.
I will quote you one name and see if you can understand what was wrong with you post Jeremy Cameron .

Even Jeremy Cameron only averages 2.5 goals per game. 65-70 a season wins the Coleman medal. Expecting a forward in any modern AFL team to kick 5 goals a game is ridiculous. To do it in the worst side in the league even more so.

Taberner has 11 goals from 4 games this year, he couldn't be doing much more to press his claim.

All Australian FF in the AFL wooden spoon team gives you a bloody good answer to your statement
The answer is no, he doesn't kick 5 goals a game. The only guy who ever has is Lockett, and he played in an era before flooding and loose men in defense.

Expecting Taberner to kick 5 goals a game is ludicrous.

He doesn't have to crash packs and the stereotype of KPF's doing this annoys the hell out of me.
I agree.

A bloke his size should be sitting blokes on their arse in marking contests more regularly as it's nigh on impossible to run it out of defense when you are lying on the ground checking your ribs.
Yet I also agree with this too.

Footy's a funny game... FWIW Taberner and Clarke could both be a bit harder at it IMHO. But give em time, you can't expect everyone to be a Jonathan Brown from the get go.

Pav would have kicked a bakers dozen yesterday.

Peel get enough footy every week to win games, but they are coached by a doofus who has zero idea.

He would still, EASILY, average 5 a week.
Can't say we can really tell what Pav would get and honestly who cares. I'd say an average of 2.5 goals a game shows you're elite at that level of the game. Whether you can perform at the next level is another matter. But the point is we'll never seen Pav play a WAFL game again because he is too damn good. Tabs on the other hand will get his chance far before he averages five goals a game. Kick five goals 2-3 times in a short period and you've more than likely won an AFL game the next week unless you're a proven spud at AFL level like Murphy and Campbell were towards the end of their time at freo or everyone in the forward line (either WAFL OR AFL teams) is playing like absolute guns.
