An absolute disaster IMO, and will cost us a win in the first 3 rounds such is his importance to the team.

Whenever we need a goal to stem the flow, Kozzie can be relied upon to kick a goal from nowhere. Think the miracle win against Brisbane in 2023 when Melksham kicked the winner. But It was Kozzie that kicked the first of the last 4 goals to get us back in the game.

Not a direct replacement but there's certainly a vacancy for McAdam to make up the projected 2 goals a game we miss out from Kozzie.

He is suspended for 3 games.Correct?

lf so , who takes his position?

Yeah there’s no-one. That's the biggest problem with our list - it's not ruck, not KP, not midfield - it's small forward goal kickers.

I agree that genuine small forwards is an area we are lacking and they are really important in the modern game. 

If I was Tim Lamb and Co I'd be looking at GWS as a side for recruiting opportunities, as they have an absolute plethora of small forwards.

Brent Daniels, Darcy Jones, Harvey Thomas, Phoenix Gothard, Oliver Hannaford and Toby McMullin are all essentially small to medium forwards on their list.

Realistically we have Kozzy, Chandler, Kynan Brown and Charlie Spargo....

Agree. I really like Chandler but he's not going to kick goals from forward line stoppages, he's the likely ANB replacement. Spargo isn't kicking stoppage goals either. I think Brown is probably a wing or small defender.

I still have hopes for McAdam but he's more along the Jamie Elliott lines, marking small forward.  I can see why we drafted Mentha and are trialling George.

You're right, GWS has a heap of small forward types and just drafted two more.

I think the recruiting team have identified the small forward position as a need but just haven’t been in a position to take one in the draft 

In the past two years we’ve been linked to Nick Watson (we tried to trade up to draft him), Isaac Kako (would have bid on him had Essendon not traded us pick 9) and Joe Berry (I think pick 9 was a few spots too high to draft him, especially with Lindsay still on the board)

Personally I think another genuine small forward is our number one priority come trade and draft time

Watching that young man rip up a finals vs. the Dogs - wow!

Can see why we were heavily interested in him and he would have solved some of our forward line woes going forward.

Spargo has been out for a while and Chandler starts with a bang but seems to lose form.

 

Brown may be our best option after KP.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
