We desperately need a gun key forward

[Pickett2Jackson 3,904]

Weideman 1 goal in the final 4 games, a terrible effort.  Has no urgency.

T Mac is finished.

Luke Jackson may or may not be a key forward but hes still a teenager either way.

Mitch brown is the best tall forward on our list as he showed today and hes 30.

 

We need to recruit a gun KPF this trade period or 2021 will be another waste of everyones time.

[BDA 22,713]

Couldn't agree more. Bring back Jesse I say.

[Nelo 813]

Probably a stretch to say he’s going to be a gun, but really liked Petty forward. If he recovers I would throw him forward next year. 

[Skuit 10,030]

I agree. Wouldn't start a thread about it though.

Why not, it is by far our most pressing need.

Yes, Petty has real promise (after a terrible start). But I suspect its down back.

Certainly need more forward potency - more so than midfielders (about whom people are obsessed).

We have a lot of trade/draft threads where we all get to express our opinion on our biggest needs. But whatever.

That was easily Brown's best game for his time with us and among his best of his career.  He has had a scattering of very good games over the years and an interest patch of great form late in 2016. The main effect I think that effort will have is to increase the chances of McDonald being traded, but by the same token, Brown isn't about to become a standing heavy forward target for us, even short term.

Preuss is a big body but doesn't seem to have the 'presence' we'd want.

The problem is clearly real, but the solution isn't obvious.  I wouldn't trust any of the potentially tradeable 'star' key forwards to fill the hardworking and strong bodied slot we need.  Not Daniher, not Cameron, not Brown.

Where are we going to get our Cameron Mooney?

Meanwhile, just for a laugh at beautiful irony, we are very much hoping that Jesse Hogan kicks a bag to put as in finals.

The Weid will be alright struggling a bit ATM but at least he is bringing it to ground. Will be better with Jackson in the side.

[Elegt 872]

Yep. Weid is a liability atm.  Go for ben brown

[old55 23,356]

Jackson and Petty weren't playing today, let's just see what they can do ...

Weid was very strong in the contest today and has had a good year.

weid was [censored] weak today, slow, continuously outmarked and unable to bring the ball to ground

[3183 Dee 2,845]

What are our options?

TMac comes good and we keep him

Ben Brown - good lead and overhead mark

Jesse Hogan - get him Burgess fit and back amongst his mates

Jeremy Cameron - expensive and question on value for money

Jeremy Finlayson - v similar to Weideman

Any others?

You have my vote it is easily our most pressing need. Easy to say but they don't grow on trees sadly.

He has not had a strong year! 

Do you actually watch the games?

He is starting to look like a dud in my opinion.

No craft or footy intelligence cannot get near the ball can't lead and has a very weak body for a man of his size

I'm not sure he has the stomach for the contest

Try opening your eyes when watching the game. Might help

[Nelo 813]

How old is Brown? 

Jezza would demand too much coin. 

Finlayson just signed a contract. 

[GCDee 3,199]

This is the year to get one. 

With daniher, brown and Cameron all available this is really a chance to pounce. 

Cameron is the one I would be going hard for.
