Who wins our goal-kicking award in 2023?

[Headless]

Current standings:

Player	Total goals	Average per game
Bayley Fritsch	29	2.1
Kysaiah Pickett	25	1.7
Christian Petracca	20	1.2
Jacob van Rooyen	17	1.3
Kade Chandler	15	1.0
Alex Neal-Bullen	12	0.7
Ben Brown	11	1.8
Charlie Spargo	11	0.8
Brodie Grundy	10	0.6
Jake Melksham	9	1.3

Sounds like Fritsch will be out until the final round of H&A or so. Pickett has been in and out of form. Petracca playing more forward now and dominating. JVR, Brown, and Melksham averaging more than a goal per game. Unclear how many finals we'll play.

Pretty interestingly poised IMO, as far as these things go. If I had to guess right now, I'd probably say Petracca?

Robertson 2005 and Green 2010 are hugely underrated seasons IMO.

Kozzy from here IMO, but if Trac wins it he might win the Brownlow too.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

On form and injury gotta say Trac, although Kossie’s game on Friday gives me hope

 

[mrmonkey]

I went with Kozzie, it's quite remarkable that even with poor form he's still on 25. If he and the team stay in good form I would back him in.

 

[Toump Ass]

Jeez, Dees goal-kicking history is some grim reading! Concrete Paws aka Christopher Dawes hitting the big two-zero!!!!! Whoooooo!!!!

 

[MartinPrince]

Trac daddy

 

[PerfectFooty]

Grundy to return as a natural forward and be faster than Jakovich to 50 goals in 6 rounds

 

[netslave]

start of the year I would have said Slick, now I'm hoping for all our sakes that it's Trac.

 

[Dory_77]

Based on recent weeks will say Trac.

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Should be Fritch if he can come back for the last game and hopefully multiple finals, otherwise a goal a game should be a big enough gap for Pickett to hang on. Ideally, Roo puts it all together and overtakes everyone on the way to a flag.

 

[TheBoss]

Brown.

 

[Topkent]

Amazing that Pickett could both be droppable and our best goal kicker over the course of a season
