You've failed to mention the likes of Franklin/Roughead, Lloyd/Lucas and Brown/Bradshaw etc, etc which were also in my post, to suit your own argument.

Premiership winners in recent years with 2 gun power forwards are the Lions & Hawks

:blink:

I totally agree that the Hawks, Bombers & Lions forward structures contain 2 power forwards, I've never said otherwise. What are you saying, only 3 of your 7 examples stand up? Thats my point :wacko:

If Ottens is not a KPP/Ruck, I'll go he. I'm not pretending nor hiding anything.

You never said he was a KPP / Ruck, you said he was a power forward? Ottens is a ruckman. He goes forward occassionally like lots of other ruckman do, that doesn't make him a power forward, it makes him a ruckman that can go forward.

    the answer is simple with pick 1 take scully and pick 2 the best power forward,

    How about Scully and the best young ruckman. If there's a dominant ruckman in the state carnival or TAC cup they may be worth looking at. The ruck is another area we look very thin in also.

    How about we don't let stupidity reign when it comes to recruitment..?

    See post #17 of this thread. Its that simple.

    Certainly not. Look, if you don't rate the others as 'power forwards' or they're 'go to men' up forward at their respective clubs, that is fine. We can agree to disagree. If you placed yourself within their inner sanctums I think you might get a clearer picture that the players I mentioned are the ones nominated within their own clubs as their own 'power forwards.' You might not see them as "power" but these guys are the ones that are looked upon as the ones to stand up down forward. Whether it is Brown or Bradshaw at Brisbane or Petrie and Hale at North.

    You never said he was a KPP / Ruck, you said he was a power forward? Ottens is a ruckman. He goes forward occassionally like lots of other ruckman do, that doesn't make him a power forward, it makes him a ruckman that can go forward.

    When he pushes up forward, IMO he will be viewed upon by the opposition as a Power Forward (KPP), yes, even though he may start in the Ruck. He spends a fair bit of time up forward when Blake is Rucking. So yes you are right, he is a ruckman that can go forward and give them drive - a big power forward with presence. Not that they need it most of the time because of they're midfield.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
