Ruzza should be aiming for 40 goals and Trav 30.
If we can get close to 1.5 per game out of Rusling and 1 per game out of Cloke from CHF while Buckley kicks 45-50 as an almost permanent forward and Ant kicks 50+ as a power forward we will have done very well. If Medhurst can chime in with 30+ while Davis plays some good footy up forward and on the ball we will has as good a forward set up as we can hope and one of the best in the comp.

All of that is achievable but in realty it is very unlikely that it will all be achieved. Someone will get injured, someone will struggle for a patch or two with form, someone will be needed in another role, we will have poor games where we get beaten in the middle and scoring will be difficult…..
 
I think we will see Travis Cloke and Chris Egan establish themselves as quality footballers.

Not sure whether this is wishful thinking but I'm seeing a big year ahead for the much maligned Guy Richards.

And make no mistake about it, Nathan Brown will play a lot of senior footy this year.

I dont think goalkicking is going to be our problem.
If you study closer, we have lost ALL our goal assisters.
Taz is gone and Didak is gone for half the year.
They are #1 and #2 in goal assists at our club and rank as some of the highest in the AFL.
Who will stand up and take that role?
Im hoping someone like Ben Johnson can through the midfield into the forward line or someone like Chris Egan into the forward line aswell.
 
The Player I think Will are:

Travis Cloke - 70-80 Goals
Rusling -70-80 Goals
R.Shaw
Heater
Brad D*ick
D Thomas
Pendles
Rocca
Medhurst - 50+ Goals

Dave, I have no doubt you must be sitting on your computer writing these posts and cracking yourself up every time. You are big footy's Billy Brownless. Playing dumb for the sack of a reaction.
 
Get ready for travis to show us why we kept him.Chris Egan will fly,Medhurst will show us why he is still a dangerous player,he loves the big crowds.Rocca will surprise and Rusling will step up.Watch out for John Anthony......Also Chris Bryan will bullock through packs,and deliver that boooming left foot kick straight out of the centre and straight down to the forward line before the opposition have a chance to flood.But keep a very close eye on Nathan Brown,he will give us a glimpse of why, he will be our future rock of gibralter,who incidently can play forward or back.Finally if Richards can stay on the park for most of the year,he will show us why the pies have kept him.

People say we have a bad forward line?, How can a team with a bad forward be the highest scoring team in the league?
Hopefully this year can be the same and lets hope what daics cousin said can happen

I have no idea but I thought we has a bad forwardline cause tarrant was pretty muhc a decoy and Rocca struggled with his injury.

Rocca managed to kick 55 goals albeit carrying the effects of the achilles. He had a reasonable year in that respect. Didak who'd been a good 'assist' man, kicked 41 goals alone off his boot. Tarrant was OK - but played below his capabilities - and we will miss him. T Cloke and Rusling could be the surprise packets this season. If they manage to kick a few goals we'll be fine. Almost forgot to mention Buckley, who proved he can kick 'a bag' on his day.

My main concern is the midfield. If we are to win, ageing names such as O'Bree, Licuria and Burns constantly make an impact each week.
Are the youngsters ready to take the next step? Pendlebury must get more game time to quicken up his development. Heath Shaw should be thrown in there to see if he has the ability put his head in and win the ball. There is a need for fresh blood.
 
I expect Sean Rusling will explode from the blocks and John Anthony to have brilliant years.

Need a good year: The following players NEED a good year to keep their spots:

Leon Davis
Ryan Lonie
Paul Medhurst
Shane O' Bree
Shane Wakelin
Scott Burns
Paul Licuria
Ben Davies
Guy Richards
Rhyce Shaw
Anthony Rocca
Tarkyn Lockyer
 
We can expect a lot of improvement from Egan, Cloke, Pendlebury, Rusling, O'brien and Anthony. If half of them get up to the H.Shaw Swan Thomas standard then we're looking good.
