Swans Leading Goal Kicker in 2010

[Hartijon]

Every other team knows Bradshaw well and already have a plan to combat him before each game. Whitey will take a while and needs to settle into the position before we can expect an explosion. Goodsey will be a good CHF but I doubt he will kick a bag full every week.
My money is on Trent D-L.After listening to Blakey talk him up,its obvious he will play. He kicked 60 goals in the WAFL last year and with better delivery,better playing surfaces and greater skilled players around him ,he could kick more in the AFL. Finally,the other teams will not know how to "man up " on him yet. He could exploit this. I predict he will top our goal kicking list in 2010. I think our extra speed across the centre line and run out of the backlines will give him many opportunities. I see he kicked 3 in a 1/2 hour practise match! Nice start!

What about the better defenders ???

Going by the better defenders on him during the practise match,this will not be a problem. If the centre line can feed this kid ,he will get plenty of opportunities to score regardless of the calibre of the defence.

1. Goodes
2. Bradshaw
3. Dennis-lane
4. White

I have no idea how many goals but I'm hoping A LOT

We need at least one player to kick 50+ goals and ideally 2 others to weigh in with 30+ for us to genuinely challenge this season. We simply haven't kicked enough goals in the last 2 seasons.

Bradshaw looks a moral to kick the most goals for us.

I think you are expecting a bit much from a 50's something pick in the draft to come in and kick 60+ goals in AFL.

He'll be doing a real good job in his first year to play a dozen games, let alone kick 60+ goals.

You get top marks for optimism though.

Isn't that the point of the off-season?

Absolutely staggering when you think about our options to goal in 2010 in comparison to years gone by;

Before

1. B. Hall.
2. M. O'Loughlin.
3. A. Schneider/J. Moore/N. Davis
4. J. McVeigh

Now;

1. D. Bradshaw
2. J. White
3. A. Goodes
4. TDL
5. J. McVeigh
6. P. Vezspremi
7. Thornton/Moore/Jack

All good options to score and all legitimate targets that will play in the same team.

It's Bradshaw minimum 70, but I'll predict 82 goals.

And he'll beat Fevola!

Hallcentric for too long perhaps. I hope the Dogs fall for the same trick.

Goodes - 44
Bradshaw - 28
McGlynn - 23
White - 22
Jack - 21

[Bas]

Thanks for that.

Interesting we had 4 players kicking 20 plus.

No one predicted Benny's contribution.

[RogueSwan]

...
Jack - 21

Is there anything this kid can't do?

[Bleed Red Blood]

How many times leading goal kicker is that for Goodes?

edit: whats the leading goal kicker award called? is it in honour of anyone? bob pratt?
