Happy we didn't do anything silly today, unhappy we're still left with what's below.
Your choice:
Small to mid sized forwards
Johnno, Acker, Higgins, Gia, Murphy, Hahn
Tall forwards
Tiller, Skipper, Wight
Hm......

Re: Build a Dogs forward line for 2008
Just heard on SEN, Eade said they looked at Damon White and McGregor plus one other but it didn't work out. He mentioned Minson was recruited as a Forward and they are going to work on him.

Re: Build a Dogs forward line for 2008
Im not a big fan of playing a new recuit from round 1 but what other option do we have? If we go with a tall it could be an option.
As it stands i would go with:
Aker Murphy Higgins
Hahn Johnson/Tiller Johnson/Tiller
Not bad but no real improvement on last years structure. I hope the coaching staff (whats left of them) have a couple of tricks up their sleeves.
Any word on weather we will pick up Walsh on the rookie list?

Re: Build a Dogs forward line for 2008
We dont have any say where he ends up. His preference could be with us but Richmond, Carlton and Melbourne all have first say in the PSD before he comes to us. I dont see it happening. Originally Posted by alexxx

Re: Build a Dogs forward line for 2008
And i'd go your forward line Alexxx, but if Doogs get into some form who knows, might even throw him in there!

Re: Build a Dogs forward line for 2008
Between Tiller, Minson, Harris, McDougall, Skipper, Wight, hopefully we can find one tall forward. Tiller has been the most impressive in the role to date. Eade stating that he wants to try Minson as a forward is another positive, and perhaps Harris could also be trialled in the role over summer.
The fact that he has came out and said that he wants game plan stuff happening in early December means clearly some big changes are going to be made, perhaps not so much with the game plan itself, but with certain peoples roles in the game plan, and introducing it more to the younger kids to the ins and outs.

Re: Build a Dogs forward line for 2008
Why would you change the role of the player who just won our B&F?!
he mightn't be great as a forward, which would leave us with a so-so backline, and a so-so forward line, as opposed to a half decent backline, and a so-so forward line?
I just dont think trying Harris up there is neccessary, with Tiller, Skipper, Minson, McDougall and Wight all aiming for the Forward line........
its not worth sacrificing our defence for

Re: Build a Dogs forward line for 2008
Has Minson ever shown any qualities of a forward eg leading and marking?

Re: Build a Dogs forward line for 2008
He's taken a few on the lead, he's nothing outstanding, but he has gone forward at times and snagged a goal.
He needs a lot of work in the position, but no reason why he can't learn. He is a bright lad.

Re: Build a Dogs forward line for 2008
Only thing i can remember is when he took a strong contested mark against Freo this year in Darwin and went on to miss it. It was a crucial kick aswell IIRC, it would have put us in front. Originally Posted by Dry Rot

Minson in the forward line is not our answer in afraid.

Re: Build a Dogs forward line for 2008
Round 11 in 2005 he spent time forward against the hawks and I thought he looked reasonable. Have not seen him spend much time forward since then and when he has he looks a bit lost.
