Strongest FWD line set up.

The strongest forward line set up IMO 

F:      Garlett Hogan Hannan 

HF:    Petracca Pedo Watts 

A lot will question me about Hannan but I'm convinced on him already, premature yes but geez he is something special... can play small or big, goal sneak and most importantly applies pressure. IMO already gone past Kent & JKH. Another Jason Taylor special. 

Pedo & Gawn rotating.  Hogan, Watts & Pedo the main targets. Petracca the medium sized forward, rotating with someone________ ? in the middle and Jeffy & Hannan the goal sneaks.

    Kent is or was my favourite player but it's hard to argue that Hannan doesn't have a tonne more forward craft. 

    Kents best work is done between 30 and 70m. Hannans inside 50 

    Hannan as a marking forward is bloody dangerous and something we don't have anything else like. Very smart footballer and he will play 100+ games for the dees

    Bugg is also very good in the forward line. His defensive pressure and ability to find space is outstanding.

    If only his set shot kicking wasn't the worst in the league ...

    Yeah Kent is one of my favourites but he is too lazy. Goody gave him a chance and he did nothing. Hannan miles ahead in goodwins books I reckon

    I don't wanna see him in that forward line ever again. junior footballers can honestly do better in front of goal than Bugg.

    Unfortunately Kent can't take an overhead mark and doesn't lay many tackles for a quick bloke. He's not a very good 1 on 1 player. His best work is as a high half forward coming at the goals like Chapman. He kicks to the advantage of forwards. However I reckon his back is crook because he has no agility and is bad below the knees now

    To start with we really only play a four maybe five man forward line.

    really it's about Hogan, Watts and Garlett as the main three then there's a handful of rotating smaller players - Hannan, Bugg, Petracca etc., plus mids rolling thru

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
