AFL Rd 10 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Collingwood

[kruddler]

Are the small forwards really getting potted again?

We've got two coleman medalists who can't hut the side of a barn, midfielders refusing to compete and run hard, defenders leaking goals on the goal line and wingers that can't hit a teamate by foot, but somehow we aren't getting enough out of our small forwards.

I'm sick to death of hearing that.  We don't even kick the ball in their direction most of the time, and when we do we expect miracles.

Small forwards.  7 to 13 possessions with a couple of tackles and hitting the scoreboard for a goal or two with the odd goal assist is what you can expect from the average small forward.  Motlop was arguably the worst of the 3, but they are all a work in progress and will have up and down weeks.

Thing is, they've also been vacating the forward line in an effort to give Charlie and Harry more room but tv doesn't show you this.

Don't read Pinot's posts, and you will probably not hear it anymore.

Its a bugbear of theirs that has been going for years.
