What is our perfect foward line

Recommended Posts

Thinking about what Mark Neeld said on SEN this morning when he said he put our foward line up on the magnet board he said it looks pretty good but he needs to make it work on match days.

Id say and this isnt in any order of set up but Id have Watts, Jurrah, Clark, Howe Pettard and Green with hopefully a fit Aussie down there and Jamar rotating through. Also have DAvey floating thorugh as well.

Ive probably left out someone but that would be a handy foward line.

Dreaming am I?

Not really Striker !

Though I'd have Big Bob Johnson in for Jurrah and probably Andy Moir in for Davey !

That FP-FF-FP HFF-CHF-HFF shape is living in past man, contemporise!

Martin

Jurrah Green

Clark

Howe Watts

Clark player a deep CHF/high FF role with the resting ruckman in the square and Jurrah and Green around them. Small forward/midfielder rotating through Sylvia/Trengove.

Howe and Watts are targets up the ground so that Clark doesn't have to venture far outside the 50. Petterd rotating through from midfield/bench.

Good post re the contemporary look - i'd have a slightly different line-up but that's by the by .

Also , maybe our pick 36 in the draft ends up playing in the forward line all year - some 18yo's are ready to go - ya never know !

Jurrah and/or Watts could be really damaging further up the ground but I'm happy with your 6 .

Sylvia is our best shot at goal, our best over head mark at the club, is our only game breaker forward of the centre therefor is a must in out forward set up

He is there.

He should also be doing more than be a FP.

If he is to do, what Brent Moloney should he should do - win a Bluey, he is going to have to get the job done in the middle.

Colin Sylvia can be so much more than a FP.

If that is all he can excel at than what a waste of talent he will be.

Pretty sure thats stil the way a starting 18 is named. That set up is too top heavy (5 players 190+) and would struggle to provide the necessary defensive pressure.

Jurrah, Watts, and Howe are not exactly the prototype players for their height.

Jurrah should easily slip into a chest-to-the-goal player and be very effective. He should walk a lot smaller with Clark there...

Howe has had little trouble with the defensive stuff and has a great footy brain.

I understand where you are coming from - I would have Sylvia slip forward and allow Watts and Howe to do the heavy lifting up the ground. I find it sucha waste when Sylvia is taking lead-up marks 75m out. That kick should go to Watts or Howe and Colin should be streaming into the forward line from the midfield at the fall of the ball from the kick from Watts or Howe.

I think too much about this stuff...

I'm just getting ready for next year at my own team with a similar structure to this.

....was the last forward lineup that achieved what we all strive for, so beat that.

^^^^

agreed, Jamar is a terrible forward.

Has no forward smarts, kicking for goal is abysmal and doesn't take enough contested marks up front for his size.

People are still living off that Carlton game where he kicked 5 goals in 2009.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
