      Interesting to look back on what we've managed from our "3rd forward" over the last few years. Here's a list of our highest goal scorers after Baz & Mick:

      09: White 20 goals (admittedly he was 1st or 2nd fwd for many of these games)
      08: Moore 25 goals (tho McV scored 32 as a midfielder)
      07: Davis 33
      06: ROK 32
      05: Davis 38

      Probably a little better than I expected tho the last 2 years have been problematic. If TDL fits this "3rd fwd" role and manages something in the 30 goal range, well we'd be delighted. I'm assuming Goodes' role will be less of a goal-kicker and more of a lead-up CHF.

        Goodes if played at CHF should be a goal kicker much the same as Brown for Brisbane IMHO. Just hope Bradshaw and White can do the job we expect from them.

          The question will be.."who misses out" I thought it would be Moore but he is burning up the track pre-season. 4 new faces,2 missing from last year..who si going to miss out?
          Moore also kicked five I believe in the same game as TDL. Maybe our defence is just rubbish

            Oh don't say that!!! I have finally got my Dream Team sorted and a lot of it is Swan......I could NOT do it all again. I do believe 32 times is a record. and I have 38 days to go. It will probably change again.

              I can't get carried away with intra club or Nab performances.

                  Nothing like a bit of "press" pressure to make a kid want to do his best... Hope that he lives up to the hype.

                    Better it comes now and he gets used to handling it than later in the season.Sure the NAB is not the real thing but good form and winning form tends to carry over.The other thing is that these guys have to try to cement a place in the side. (a metaphor!) I have no doubt they will be flat out in the NAB cup to try to get a spot.The alternative,playing in Canberra every week, is too horrible to even contemplate.

                        Sure they didn't win many in 2007 but their form early on wasn't too bad.Their wins in the preseason was against understrength sides and not a true indication. I would argue that had they been bounced out in the first round of the pre-season their season would have been even worse.

                          Impossible to tell.
                          Big Andie can say what he likes, but anybody who knows anything about footy knows Carlton were in major tank mode in 07.

                            Good to see such loyalty Primmy, although it doesn't always work in DT. Hopefully though TDL and White will earn everyone a few extra bucks.

                              Problem is that White is listed as a ruckman! Whattha!!

                                Das is good, nien? It basically gives you an extra forward in a competition where Ruckmen traditionally don't score well.
