Re: Talking Tactics - Our Forward Structure In 2017 - Jean-Claude - 01-29-2017
Our forward structure is about getting as many games into McKay, Kerr, Silvagni and Curnow (half forward/mid) as possible. That is our future up forward and the sooner we come to terms with it the better I feel. Really interested in seeing how some of our new smalls go as well.

It would be huge if Casboult got 40 goals in 2017. While I'm expecting an improvement on 18, I think that it will be increased contributions from other forwards and midfielders that will be the difference this season.
We all want an improvement, his best return is 24...

Yes. Well said J-C.
I think we all know which players are shorter term, and which are likely (with a little luck) our future forwards.
Our short term prospects, aside from scoring to the best of their ability, are important in developing our future. So whilst we can criticise kicking action's etc. there's another level of expertise at play. For example, whilst I hope Levi scores more, I really want him to support the youngsters. Be that with his superb marking displays, tireless training ethic, work off the ball, or taking the heat of the monsters to provide scoring opportunities. The smalls and talls can be beneficiaries and learn just how it's done. Gotta say if I was starting out as a forward, I love to know big Levi's got my back.
Go Blues.

Any throwing his weight around. The guy's a beast, he needs to show some mongrel!

I would prefer him to show some controlled mongrel - no reports please!
Have you ever watched the defenders vs forwards bumping contests at the start of each quarter? The defenders do their best to stay away from Levi - not that I blame them

Indeed, most are wary and some of the Bolt.
He's no Fev but can be a very handy player.
Honestly i reckon the Hawks would have preferred him to Tyrone V.

Most teams (should) have a do's/don'ts dossier of sorts on each player. Casboult plays better angry, so i wouldn't want to make him angry and i doubt any defender does either.

yes, but 24 goals from 16 games. Average 1.5 a game.
He kicked 18.18 last year. Not difficult, with a stronger midfield to turn that into 30 goals plus....
