i think small forwards are the easiest players to recruit...

Not good ones. Any type is easy to recruit, but classy regular goal kicking smalls would probably be the hardest.

    Millera 19 goals, Saad 28 goals, Milne 56 goals, and they go and recruit Dennis-Lane...

    Hawthorn: Breust 45 goals, Rioli 39 goals, Puopolo 24 goals and they've got Brad Hill, who I like, coming through.

    At Essendon Davey kicked 29 and Jetta 22.

    Carlton: Betts 48 and Garlett 29.

    Sydney have an amazing array of midfield goal kickers, but they still had the very handy McGlynn with 30 goals. I won't go through every team...

    I reckon it is great that we've got Burns and I expect Kent to fill a void. Most clubs have a decent array of reliable mid size goal kickers and it's an area of concern for Melbourne. It's great having Clark and Dawes create opportunities, as well as kicking goals, but right now we don't have the class to capitalise on all of those opportunities. I'm surprised supporters are so happy with our current small forwards and flankers.

    BH I agree with a lot of what you say here although we have yet to see Clark & Dawes play together, it's something I'm looking forward to. I think (hope) they will create some panic in opposition defences and also bring the ball to ground more than we have previously to help us lock it in more and not allow opposition defences clear it so easily. When I say bring ball to ground I am talking with purpose and to advantage. I believe Byrnes will be a good small forward with Rodan rotating through stints and the ball and would like to see Blease doing similar.

    In a nutshell basically I am of the view whilst we don't have Milne who is a gun, I think Clark & Dawes could make reasonable small forwards look good. I would also like to see us eventually having Toumpas, Kent, Trenners, Tappy, Blease, Byrnes, Rodan and whoever comes through to replace them rotate from midfield to forward in similar style to the Swans.

    Lets hope we don't have to wait to long for the evolution

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
