This year out forward line has been crazily bad, apologies Mitch Clark 29 goals 11 games

Our 4 next best goal scorers are Jones - MID, Howe -MID/FOR, Blease MID, Sylvia MID/FOR

OK so our next 4 highest goal scorers are Nathan Jones our best mid this year, stoked your kicking goals mate but we should have 5 other genuine forwards who are kicking as many or more goals than you......

Howe, great forward last year, less so this year, and he floats right up the ground on the wings ect, and he is our only other genuine forward contributor this season.....i would have been hoping for a 30 goal year from Howey

Blease, not so bad, has been playing in the mids, can rest foward and be dangerous, and only played half the year, but once again not one of our genuine forwards

Sylvia, known much as a HHF type, has been playing alot in the midfield this year, playing inside lately ect, another contender who isnt a genuine forward.

Ok so what happened i used to think we had to many forwards especially medium forwards, Howe, Green, Dunn, Petterd, Bate, Jurrah.......Howe the youngest and is the only one who has contributed.........

Imagine if we didnt recruit Mitch Clark.....also Watts i am a huge fan i love him playing down back atm, but really we are now relyingon Cook, who i really like as a player to come on and be that second tall target, or play big for Cloke. About Cloke, if anything the last month or so should have shown us that anything can happen and that we cannot work without a atleast one big forward in our side.

We also lack any type of small forward since wonna left, we have Lawrence but he has never and never looks like playing, when it seems simpleto find small types in amateur leagues, Siposs, Puopolo, Sadd, Milera, Callinan......

Ideally we would line up like this or similar

Sylvia ????? Howe

Jurrah Clarke Davey

The ??? can be Watts or Cook hopefully but really i dont know who i want to fill in this forward line for our current side, Jurrah may go to jail and Davey is on his last legs imo literally? wtf did out forward line go?

What are everyones thoughts? we have no actual forwards options bare part timers when Clark goes down? and we have about 7 medium forwards with 50-150 games experience each......

We need to get Howe signed up. I think we need to get watts back forward, that is if that is where Neeld wants him to play. Other than that, the stocks are bare at the moment. Cook still looks like a forward but it is hard to see him learning much down at Casey level.

Mark Neeld has done a lot of good things this year, but playing our better forwards away from the forward line has not been one of them.

They gotta learn to defend first and foremost...

Matt white from the tigers

Matt campbell from north

Both these guys are good targets for us to fill our small forward problem.

Matt campbell has lindsey thomas to fight in there forward line and we could get him cheap.

Matt white cant hold his spot.

Is Matt White a small forward? always thought of him as a running HF flank/wing type player. Has some toe, but not a crumbing forward type....

Matt Campbell I haven't seen enough of, but could be likely. I would like someone like Todd Banfield from Brisbane... but he might be harder to dislodge (Although Zorko and Josh Green have probably caught up to him)

Matt white is perfect as a small forward lot's of speed and kicks goals.

He's a pacy wingman.....not a small forward. Can't kick and doesn't crumb well...KEEP DREAMING!

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
