(Updated to Rd 15 2017) Had the day off and looked up the AFL tables. Jack Watts 149 Games 141 Goals Nathan Jones 235 Games 115 Goals Jesse Hogan 48 Games 98 Goals Jeff Garlett 55 Games 103 Goals Dean Kent 56 Games 55 Goals Christian Pertracca 34 Games 35 Goals (20 this season from 14 games) James Harmes 36 Games 24 Goals Jeremy Howe 100 Games 80 Goals Lynden Dunn 165 Games 97 Goals Liam Jurrah 36 Games 81 Goals* Brad Green Last 53 Games 111 Goals 2010-2012 (254 Games 350 Goals) Our last player to Kick 100 Career Goals was Nathan Jones (last year) and before him Jack Watts. Jesse Hogan now only needs 6 more to hit the "mythical career ton" & Garlett (At Melbourne) needs another 12. The last to get close was Liam Jurrah with 81 (we all know why that never happened) and Dean Kent with 52 from 54. Excluding Jones who is a midfielder and when you think that almost half of Watts goals have come in the last two years (after being drafted in 2008) You have to go back to Brad Green who finished his career with 350 goals, kicked 111 in his last 53 games. While we are improving and our midfield develops what we lack is genuine finishers. I think Melbourne need to go after the best proven forwards & forward mids we can trade/find/draft in the off season. Off the top of my head. Luke Bruest comes to mind? Thoughts?
