AFL Rd 6 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs St. Kilda

[townsendcalling]

It's not about goals its about what forward pressure they create, retaining the ball in the forward line and creating opportunities for others and that all comes under the heading of work rate and that's where questions are being asked of these players.

Both Motlop and Durdin are averaging over a goal a game. Durdin has 5 goals from 4 games and Motlop has 6 goals from 5 games (although 1 of those was gifted when Coniglio was penalised for dissent). I guess we can’t ask much more from guys who are hardly in the running for AA selection. If only we had an elite small forward such as Kossie Pickett or Josh Rachele.

Would we be reasonably happy with  30 goals from both Durdin and  Motlop at seasons end along one power forward kicking 80 and the other 50...  all on track for those figures.
