Who do you think will be a top 6 fwd this year ahead of Barlow?
Dusty for sure. Deledio and Montagna probably. Gunston and Dahlhaus should. Higgins will. That's 6 already. Then add in guys like Zorko, Zerrett, Bennell, Wingard, Rioli, Robinson who are good chances to go 100+. Then there's guys further down like Lynch (both of them), Bell, Tippett, Buddy, Westhoff, Riewoldt (both) who have the potential, although much less likely. There's plenty there and if Barlow averages 95 he'll be a long way down that list.

I see a lot of those guys scoring over 100 but not averaging over 100. Barlow's scores were a shock last year thats for sure. I think Dusty and tags will be up there. Hopefully lids can as well. Not sure on Dollhouse and Gunston though.

It is posted in another thread JOM has had a setback and his return is likely to be delayed 6 weeks. I'm pretty sure I've read that Swallow will now be out until the byes. Should we be considering A. Hall now do you think?

Not sure how Prestia is going but didn't play tonight.

Prestia hurt too. Lonergen hurt last night. No Swallow. No JOM. GC in disarray (again).

Not this year but i reckon Touk Miller will become SC relevant in the next few seasons.

I'm tempted by a Hall or a Lonergan but both feels like too much. Lonergan - little exposed form but needs to do less to be considered a success. Hall - form with the other midfielders impressive but he's a very tricky price to have invested if he doesn't work. Maybe I could take both ... the rest of my team is top level guns and rooks.

Like a player that can have a pretty poor game but still find a way to knock out a ton,

You'd think even with everyone fit they'd be daft to not give him alot of Mid time after what he did after R16 last season (114Ave)

Just listened to the forwards podcast and the boys were pretty cold on a couple of the cheaper keepers who's tires I have been kicking - Christensen and Hall.

So with a stronger GWS team named, maybe worth watching Greene and what his role could be.
Greene with 133 tonight finds himself as my new F3. Anyone know what sort of role he was playing?

I didn't get to watch the match unfortunately but looking through his stats he didn't seem to stand out.
7 kicks, 13 handballs at 65% DE, did have 11 contested and 8 tackles so shows he's keen to go the hard yards.
If anyone did watch could you fill me in also on what his role seemed to be? Cheers.
