A lot of people don't like Nicks as a forwad but look at the facts this year.
Hall has had 14 shots at goal for 9 goals.
Nicks has had 11 shots at goal for 5 goals.
While I think Nicks has missed goals he should have kicked he is not the only one and is at least getting the ball on the forward line to have a go at the goals.
The next highest to nicks with 11 shots on goal is davis with 7 shots followed by Goodes and Schneider with 6 shots on goal each.
Schneider has done very well to be equell 4th highest shots on goal for the year so far with a 50/50 strike rate and Goodes with 6 shots on goal when playing in the ruck is good but his 1 goal 5 behinds including some easy goals missed isn't too good.
My point is that apart from Hall (who hasn't had a good year so far ) Nicks is providing an option on the forward line more then any other player and if his goals ratio goes up he is a good player to have there in my opinion.
