So you reckon they are doing enough for the money they are getting and one is bragging abt to his former team mates, That is your opinion mine is a little different.

Yes we need a forward line and there are options. Perhaps you need to watch all the games so you do know what is out there!

If you want a genuine old fashion half forward look no further than # 34 Matt Young, he was in to play against Perth, then Barnard chose Magro, who doesn’t do enough me

Who leads the goal kicking?

No one really stands out, Samelko maybe, but I think he is more suited to CHB

Before I would drop either I would drop our leading goal kicker from last year and who has hardly kicked a goal this year and who hasn't performed in the midfield.

Don't know what scott and kerr are on but there are others on big money who are coasting.I watched the finals of the ressies last year and the reason we lost the gf was we lacked a key forward due to Redhead getting injured in the second semi.Not sure whether redhead will finish up as a ruckman or forward but at the moment he is still a bit raw.I would love for samelko to take the next step up but he needs to sting some games together and form imo.Still think Anderson or blee could play key forward in the meantime.

No who is leading our goal kicking so far this season?

According to the WAFL Website, Shayne Hille, Joel Houghton and Shaq McKenzie all have 3 goals 5 points. Jayden.Magro has 3g 3p.

Shaq would have had 4.4 if he hadn't missed from 20 metres right in front against Perth

Ben McGuire has 11.1 in the Ressies

So Houghton, Magro and Shaq are the only players to kick goals in 3 games. Perhaps Maguire can help them out.

I don't understand all this forward line hysteria blind freddy could see we were always going to struggle in this area as our spearhead recruit J.Houghton averaged 0.8 goals in his previous WAFL career,I always felt our midfield and defensive personel was more than capable and so far this season thats proven to be the case and no WAFL ruckman has the athleticism of Ajang Ajang.An obvious switch for me would be a straight swap with HOUGHTON going back and GORTER playing forward as Tom can take a grab and has more physical presence and has a very sound kicking action,but as i said before this season is primarily a barrier trial because when ever your turning over 14 new players your never going to totally get the mix right.
