    Re: Our top 5 goal-kickers for 2019

    I like LLoyd. For one thing I don't have to hide somewhere while he is taking a shot at goal.
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?


    I have, yeah Ted, you big gobshite

    We had been watching him for some time too - rumours about our interest were flagged during the season. Clearly a target and an indication we know we need talent forward of the ball.

    If we didn't know that, I'd have major concerns!
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Ignoring the possibility of injury or suspension:

    Hopefully Naughton should be able to average 2 goals a week or better from here and kick over 40.
    Lloyd, Gowers and McLean seem about right.
    Dickson's total is going to depend on if he is in the team or not.
    Surely Bont doesn't kick as badly as he did in the first 6 rounds for the rest of the season and therefore should hopefully end at least in the 20s.

    Re: Our top 5 goal-kickers for 2019

    Longggg way to go but genuinely incredible to think that we could have a second year key position player kick nearly 40 goals in a season.

    For measure, Buddy kicked 31, Roughead kicked 12, Nick Riewoldt kicked 21, Jack Riewoldt kicked 18, Pavlich kicked 28, Lloyd kicked 18, Hall kicked 14, Fev kicked 26, Brown kicked 38, Carey kicked 38, Kennedy kicked 6 as did Trav Cloke...and I doubt any of those guys had spent the rest of their footy career at full back.

    Going super early here, but this kid could be really special.

    It would be great for both the club and player if Naughton can average 2 goals a game for the balance of the season
    Similarly if Lloyd can average 1.5 goals a game, Schache needs to add some score consistency as well

    The forwards are really coming together now and we are getting some rewards. Real good stuff. Schache has shown some great signs and was particularly good in the wet in SA last week for us. Very good kick.

    The concern that I see is we don’t have a Goal kicking mid. Bont could have been the one if he kicked straight this year
    BB.

    Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

    Spot on which is why Isaac Smith would be a welcome addition at the right price. Has leg speed, a long accurate leg and scoreboard impact. If Hawthorn are pushing him out the door for salary cap space it shouldn't cost us much more than a third rounder. Yes from me.

    Bont on 14 with lots of misses. I am not too concerned as he has been pretty good in the past. Needs to get over the yips.

    I worry about his age and speed slowing down he isn’t going to improve it’s only downhill from here.
    He has had a quiet year from previous years I would rather we went younger.

    All good points, too many people focus on age or height to justify why players shouldn't be selected. Your reasoning is sound and if it's about a 3rd rounder to acquire him then he would be a welcome addition.

    The only proviso I would add is we would have other priorities and Smith would be more of a 3rd choice for me.
    Would Karl Amon be a cheaper addition for us?

    Is Amon a better player than Smith? Re. Smith we'd only offer 2 years surely.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.
