I think we're missing a good chunk of players from the 2006-2011 era that were expected to be among the club centurions by now.

For example, the likes of Bate, Petterd and maybe even Cook are three players that come to mind that just might have featured in the 100+ goal category club if Neeld hadn't been appointed coach. 

I'm all for a good Neeld bagging, but gee it's stiff to blame him for Cook.

Given the kid never played.. Hardly his fault.

I understand the desire for a big KPF a la Neiter to kick a bag every week, but I'm less fussed at the monent given our average scores for the year - we're doing pretty well offensively (120, 86, 97, 75, 112, 91). Average 83 points a game, 3 of which without Hoges who is scoring ~ 3 per game. Not far off...

I'm not nessasarily saying we need another key fwd. Just more forwards/players who can kick goals! Another Garlett or Kent or Watts?

Aside from the calls for a Bruest or Gunston. What about a delisted player? Lindsay Thomas is currently drawing the ire of Kanga fans for suspension and form and might be delisted at the end of the year. If he was free, why not? He's kicked 322 goals in 200 games. He's currently 29 and maybe has another year or two.

I'm glad demonland doesn't have a downvote button after this comment although the Moderators could ban me.

Yeah, nah 

Hogan out v Adelaide..

Has form against Norf.. 

maybe he'll boot 6 at the G against the "Sh-itBoners"

Garlett now needs 5 goals to bring up 100 at melbourne in and from 50 Games for Melbourne.

Lets hope he does on QB.

And with rumours flying around Hogan may be back QB (and only needs 4 to kick his 100th) Let's hope both of these milestones happens and we make it 5 in a row against those flogs from Victoria Park!

The fact that 100 career goals is mythical to Demons fans shows how woeful the cub has been as far as individual accomplishments and career goal tallies.

We have been around over 100 years, yet in five or so years from now both of the new clubs, GWS and GOld Coast, will each have a player (Cameron and Lynch) that will eclipse our leading goalkicker (Neitz).

But its not just goals we are terrible at - Nathan Jones average of 28.05 disposals in 2016 was the highest season average in MFC history.  Jack Vineys 26.1 in 2016 was the 4th highest in MFC history.

These are embarasingly low numbers for club records.

Why do we suck so badly statistically?

Not sure. I bet Fred Fanning knows the reason.

With Hogan & Garlett back in the side. Wouldn't it be nice if they both bought up the 100 this week against The Blues!

Also noticed Pertracca now has more Goals than games and also has 10 more McCartin with a year less in the game!

Hogan Needs 2 goals against NORF! To kick his 100th from 49 games. Better than 2 a game! 

Hogan more than likely to remain on 99 this year from 49 Games.

Garlett moves to 106 from 56.

Let's hope he gets closers to 200 today!

Bringing up his 100th goal in his 50th game has some symmetry to it

Hogan now has 105 from 50 games. Better than 2 a game!

If he stays a Demon for his whole career,  Neitz's goals record will be challenged.
