I said last year ( other than the ankles as we later found out ) that much of Harry's lackluster year was more about the others than him. That the team had to catch up with a style the big O was used to and enjoyed. I too think Goody's influence will be to hit the "go" button......and you'd better go....and go to where you're meant to andhave trained for. Once players see it 'click' then the real climb begins. Ought to be enjoyable to watch Totally agree. I think the reason he kept being selected by Roos and kept playing the same way is that he was brought in to teach the backline to run and force the midfield to create options. With a more attacking style and hopefully improved midfield spread I can see H having a much better year.
La Dee-vina Comedia 17,137 Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 It's a good sign that no-one is arguing Petracca, Oliver or Weideman. We appear to have moved on from the expectation that a first year player (including Petracca as one in this instance) will be our saviour. It probably won't be him, but gee it would be great if it were to be Frost.
FarNorthernD 5,863 Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 I'm not really expecting it but I'm hoping Max King can step up and provide an alternate target up forward for us. At 200cm, mobile, a decent set of hands and a good kick he could provide a difficult match up for opposition sides. I have no idea what his rucking skills are like but surely they can't be any worse than the Pedometer/Dawes/Frost combos. Does anyone know if his endurance has improved? I appreciate he has has his fair share of injuries but you would imagine Max's motivation levels would be fairly high considering the club drafted a bloke who is the same height, shares the same skill set and even has (almost) the same name. If Max can prove to be an effective forward/2nd ruck it would help balance the side enormously
beelzebub 23,392 Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Viney doesn't have "breakouts" ....he has breaks. Sees ball , gets ball, breaks whatever is in way
Sir Why You Little 37,498 Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 I like the way Harmes played last year when he made the senior side. He wants to be at the contest. Good sign that.

Bombay Airconditioning 6,510 Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Effectively 1 goal per half as a permanent forward.
Bring-Back-Powell 15,577 Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 I reckon Dawes is due for a breakout 22 goal season from 19 games.

Damo 3,466 Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 breakout year for the later train, not the one after 3/4 time I hope.

Ted Lasso 19,586 Posted January 31, 2016 Author Posted January 31, 2016 I am a bit of a Jayden hunt fan i must admit, i really hope he can get an extended injury free run.
daisycutter 30,027 Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 hopefully 2016 will be a breakout year for me i'm looking forward to going to the footy, finally believing a win is possible (.....i hope)
Coup Cooper 610 Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 James Harmes! And I would love to see Hunt & Oscar McDonald have good years!

It's his 8th year and last in contract, it's literally now or never. The talent is there, but will the mind deliver ? You do realize everyone knows what you're trying to do here right? "Needs to kick 40 goals in 2016" Please, spare me your attempted statistical traps, I thought someone with a more "nuanced understanding of football" would not use such simplistic criteria (other than when they're trying to create an unwinnable situation for a player they openly despise).
Bitter but optimistic 22,289 Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 If all the blokes who are named above to have "breakout years", actually have "breakout years".......!!!! We'll kick some [censored] arse!!!!
