Wanted... A Forward Line

[aardvark]

Until we get a forward line that doesn't include Goodes at CHF and White at FF we will not beat anyone decent. Get rid of the part timers and rotating midfielders and get some specialist forwards who can do their job. Goodes must play in the midfield and White needs to go back to basketball.

we need genuine forwards not mids playing forward. bird was deplorable forward tonight. Goodes immediately showed how much better he is in the midfield.

need to bring in tdl and vez to play alongside mcglynn, bradshaw and rohan

I prefer Goodes in the midfield. White can stay - he works hard and that was a good opportunist goal tonight, the sort of thing you like to see a big man doing. The forward we are missing atm (apart from Bradshaw of course, who would've made a difference) is Moore.
And I think TDL has earned a go.

White has hands of stone and no idea when or where to lead or how to position himself. Opportunist = fluke

[Margie]

Why does White seem to shut his eyes/turn his head when attempting a mark? Strange. He bumbles too much to be a full forward. Let's hope Bradshaw is back for the next game.

I agree with the OP, we need a forward line. A couple of players who can take contested marks and a rover or two to mop up when they don't.

Swap goodes with ROK
Out bird (sorry but you're a midfielder) in tdl
Out jetta in vez to play a lead up role
Bradshaw back in white skating on thin ice

5 man forward line
Vesz ROK hanners/Kennedy
Tdl Bradshaw

Excellent... At last some sense... couldn't be any worse than what we have at the moment and we might even get some good delivery from goodsy in the midfield

I'm looking forward to the 'White had a good game because he brought the ball to ground' posts.

Yep i'm putting on my flame suit once again

[IrishSwanPerth]

jesse white wouldnt catch a flew he is shocking cant mark over his head and takes for ever to take the ball off the ground. Id rather have Bevan up there at least he can compete and kick and take a mark. I say bring back BAZZA

[Beaussie]

Jesse always looks half hearted in a contested situation to me. @#%# him off to the reserves. Waste of space on the field.

Can't do it. Actually went back and watched a replay of the BOmbers game and decided his game wasn't as impressive as I first thought. His game tonight was just dreadful. We do need to have a Plan B in case he's not the messiah, so I'm beginning to think that if Bradshaw comes back in it's time for him to remember how to mark the ball in the magoos.

[aardvark]

I'm actually thinking Henry is a better option at CHF than goodsy...thats how bad the Forward line is functioning or not functioning as the case maybe.
I would like to see Moore,Braddy ,Vez and TDL but we would have to drop some midfielders and i can't see Roosy doing that

[Xie Shan]

Well, to be fair, our style of game doesn't really suit marking forwards at the best of times with the way the ball is delivered in, and Jesse still has a lot of improvement to do in terms of reading the play, but yes tonight was dreadful. Bradshaw will help take some of the pressure off White next week.

[BSA5]

I want White in the backline. He's big enough, strong enough, fast enough, smart enough and skilled enough to be an AFL player, but he hasn't got the hands for key forward. Play him on a gorilla, release Grundy a bit more, and restructure the forwardline.
