He's top 4 for goal kicking because we are so poor at kicking goals as a team and it can be argued that Mckay wouldnt be in anyone elses top 4 goal kickers at another club.
If he was sitting top 4 for goals kicked, and the top two had kicked 100 between them, then this might be a positive.
That’s true Thry but the positive is that averaging two goals a game isn’t enough to secure a spot in the 22 unless it’s combined with consistency of effort and meeting team standards.

Up another point in percentage.
Curnow’s edged ahead of Casboult’s goal tally at the same stage last year.

Lods, I'm not sure how you collect the stats, but if available it would be interesting to see the goal contribution from the midfielder compared to previous years. I'm pegging it's dropped substantially and would be a major reason for the 2018 goal deficit.

The bleating seems to have died down a little, but it was that the game isn't as attractive and generally lower scoring this year.
We are 22 goals down after 14 games - that is 1.5 goals a game - probably not significant. Our defence is also 11 points a game worse - making our overall margin about 20 points worse than last year per game.
We know the defensive issues with injuries. Watching our games, it also feels as if it is much harder to score a goal. It actually surprises me that we are that close with points scored against last year.

I appreciate Cripps has his 0.5 goal a game, but it's fairly stark though, Gibbs, Kreuzer and Murphy mean our midfield is down 32 goals on 2018.
Kreuzer has been out yet is on his average, Casboult has been out and rucking but is on his average.
Diasy is down but he's not spent as much time forward, the rest are about average with a couple of part-timers down in the decimal places.
The bulk of the deficit is mostly down to a loss of one good midfielder, Bryce Gibbs! So the naysayers better take note, yet many still claim good riddance! :o

...and the minimal gains in percentage over the last few weeks disappear in a flash.
The other one that's starting to bolt away is the "points against"
