Small fowards to target

Recommended Posts

Melbourne has none that actually kick goals

the 'FLASH' used too, a.maric left last year, k.lawrence(rookie) never played a game but went home the other week and jetta's only got 19 from 33

whos left.........trengrove is too busy in the middle, jonesy is gettin a few but.......yer

we need goal kicking small fowards

betts would be untouchable(an too old) but is ellard??? or gartlett for the right price?

jetta, colyer or davey all fight for the same spot(davey vs davey for the crum or jetta vs jetta but dontknow if latter related)

brad hill for the hawks never gets a game (but only a first year and more of a wing)

matt cambell or linsay thomas from north may be too old and injured respectivly but both kick well one can kick goals

mitch banner port only seen a few times but wanted a trde back last year didnt get it and they havnt played him this year

jarred moore or brett meridith from the swans are a few names?

some are potentially gettable and ive missed heaps of others but they are all better than sum of the little duds we've listed in the past

think we should squeez out a supplementry small from a team with heaps or a team witch cannot use them

Jarred Moore and Shannon Byrnes are both free agents.

They should be top of our list.

caint see byrnes moving would have played but injured plus on the outer age wise(28)

jarred moore is 2 year younger less injured plus u have the come home factor yer sure not a permiership player but sydney is an elite as club too

Ben Kennedy in this years draft is one that i am red hot on. He has pace, explosive pace, has great disposal, can find the footy, is a natural small forward and is very capable in the midfield, both receiving and extracting. The only thing holding back from definite top 5 is his height. Would love to get him at pick 13, but if we are able to snag Viney with a 2nd rounder, i'd be very willing to bring Kennedy to the Dees with pick 4 after getting Toumpas with pick 3.

Leaving pick 13 for us to draft another kid or trade to bring in another mid.

We've already got Sam Blease, but we could definately do with another of his type, one in the middle and one in the forward line!

I know the OP didn't actually say Jetta is a small forward.... But I just want to clarify anyway.

Neville Jetta has never been (mid for WA his entire junior career) and never will be a small forward.

He is a midfielder, just because he isn't a giant and he is an indiginous player doesn't mean he is a small forward...

Neville's strengths are his strong body, winning contested footy, setting up goals with clever kicks and his ability to manouver in traffic. These are strengths found in mids, not small forwards.

I would love us to get Ben Kennedy, a small nuggety player with real Zip thru the middle & forward would be fantastic...

If we can't get Kennedy, I wouldn't mind Travis Colyer from the Bombers. I liked what i saw of him in the U-18's a couple of years ago, li9ked his run & carry & step thru traffic.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    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,
