Or were you adopting the uninspiring line-up I proffered (It's not a trick question, I just want to understand how you see the forward line being manned)? |
Yeah I guess so though perhaps
Goldsack Cloke Howe
Blair Moore Fasolo
might give us some grunt up forward. You could alternate Goldsack and Blair perhaps but probably Gault needs one more go. |
Interesting. I'm still not thinking "It's better than Carman, Moore, Kink, Dunne etc" just yet - but I could imagine it kicking a few more goals than last week's line-up. |

Just an update on this. Here's the Collingwood season by season summary from AFL tables:
http://afltables.com/afl/teams/collingwood/season.html
What it suggests at the moment is that our forward line has gone from averaging 17.3 goals per game in the 2011 home and away season to averaging 12.9 goals per game this season.
Put another way, if you look at the "goals for" since 1990, the present season is, so far, on target to be our fourth least-productive goal-kicking effort in those 27 seasons, better (at the moment) than only 2014, 2004 and 2005. I've looked at that time-span because it includes the lost "Tony Shaw" years.
To put it in context, against our 129 goals, the other clubs have kicked:
Adelaide 167
Brisbane 110
Carlton 105
Essendon 86
Fremantle 96
Geelong 151
Gold Coast 122
GWS 162
Hawthorn 148
Melbourne 158
North 148
Port 143
Richmond 124
St Kilda 128
Sydney 153
West Coast 154
Footscray 133
So, we're 12th on that list.
Interestingly, the 2016 season average is about the same as for 2007 but we were very inaccurate that year (kicking 284.307, compared to this year's 129.111), so our average "points for" was a little higher that season.
The same link should update each week, as and when the data is added after our games. |

Just a little bump of this topic, coming up - as it is - to its 4th anniversary.
We average 12.6 - 78 (or, if you prefer, 9.24), this season after 7 rounds. We have kicked an acceptable AFL score in just one game.
I thought the intelligent pundits were reassuring us that this would all be solved by getting rid of Cloke?
So far in 2017, I'm loving the "spread of goalkickers". |

That'll happen when you try to build a team of 26 midfielders.
Once our amazing midfield gel, we'll be unstoppable as opposition teams won't be able to get their hands on the ball.
A score of 1.0 goal will be enough to win games. _________________ Fighting against the objectification of woman. |

Well the red flag should have been after 2012 when Cloke stalled his contract.
We got rid of Dawes and didn't draft/develop a key forward while Cloke was still pretty good . If we did then this forward would have been around the 100 game mark and a great foil for Darcy now.
Instead we went with top up players like Lynch and White and now that Cloke is gone well we struggle to kick 10 goals if the opposition plays a man back and Bucks doesn't man him up and lets him get cheap kicks.
Bucks built this forward line with midgets flying for marks when we send in the long ball and it will take 3 years to rebuild properly. _________________ Human behavioural studies suggest people who use a lot of swear words tend to be more honest & trustworthy. |

Our players are too busy doing handball drills in the middle of the ground to worry about things like kicking goals. _________________ Now Retired - Every Day Is A Saturday |

8 games in and our forward line is firing on about 3 cylinders.
By my calculations the forward line is averaging just over 6 goals a match. Which means about 1 goal for each forward per game. Faz, Elliot and WHE are the leading goal kickers with Elliot averaging about 2 goals which is good. _________________ we don't eat our own at collingwood we just allow them to foul our nest. |
