Why no key forward?

We are stacked with potential key forwards.  

JVR. Progressing but still young.  Ruck relief at the moment as well. Needs to be a one grab player. 

Jefferson. Drafted at 1st round pick 15 in 2022 draft.  JT put a hope on him. Two years at Casey as expected but needs to show more and hopefully debut in 2025. 

Turner and Petty.  Natural defenders.  Turned forwards.  Good judge of marks.   Both showed intermittent form. 

Fullarton. Ruck? Forward? Recruited as a ruck/forward.  Appears Dees think he is neither as not given chances when vacancy arrived. 

Kentfield.  Big. Raw.  Low probability but given a chance.  

JVR 'one grab' depends on whether you have a gorilla hanging all over you.

Jefferson....I have see a bunch of twigs with more meat on them than when Jefferson was drafted, they needed to build him up, now man size and I know for a fact he was told to start using it, hence the better end to the season.

Turner and Petty, swing players, some teams only have one who can maybe do that, we are blessed with two, 3 if you count Tommy Mc

Fullarton no regular AFL football, needs to improve, which he knows, has already seen what happened to Schache.

Kentfield big and aggressive, just needs a full preseason, his progress, junior football, WAFL, VFL in less than a year, each a step up,

A key forward like Carey lifts and straightens up a midfield 

And Brown was supposed to do that, until the ball movement changes it won't make any difference even if we had Dunstall at full forward..

It’s unbelievable the pies are looking at Membrey whilst we sit in our hands thinking  that defenders will become fwds! For last 3 seasons we have traded in zip

It would be good if the mids lowered their eyes and our forwards led out that would help.
I would also like to see us get Membrey for structure but based on what TL said that won’t happen. 

I really hope the forward line works next season because we a blowing our opportunities for another flag.

Please please please play Petty back back BACKLINE. Look at his pre-draft highlights, he's a natural.

We are so fortunate to have so many 'once in a generation' players in the AFL currently. 😉
