Considering our well document lack of forwards who actually know how to lead up and present at the ball. i reckon we should go after either Sam Reid or Adam Tomlinson as both can hit up and present very well. They are both victorians living in sydney so would entertain the thought of coming home and both are playing 3rd/4th fiddle in their respective teams with the likes of franklin, tippet, goodes, cameron, boyd and patton taking priority over them. Both work hard up and down the ground and have plenty of upside as both are in their early 20's. Thoughts???
No chance of getting either. We’d have more chance of prising Patton away from GWS.
I see it's your first post... which one are you, Reid or Tomlinson? :D
Welcome to bomberblitz!
Id love to get sam reid. Can seriously play
They’d suddenly become world class defenders when we get them anyway,
I don’t think it would matter who we had at full forward. We only have one player in Zerrett that can deliver the ball to where the forward is going. We need to fix that first.
How’s Mitch Thorp going in the SANFL?

Goddard, Watson, Heppell, Dempsey, Chappy, Melksham...all able to deliver the ball well.
Problem is the non creation of space for the ball to be delivered into.
All I really hope is that JOEDAN learns how to kick for goal.
I could envision a time where our two key forwards in Daniher and Sam Reid, took close to 50 marks in a game.
And kick 5.38 between them.
All I really hope is that JOEDAN learns how to kick for goal.
And learns how to hold his position in marking contests. Some of which is strength of course but also technique.
Understand yes we need a forward but that's not our problem.
watch Rd 1 and 2 again, also last years season.
It is our workrate, run n carry, tackling, contested possession game and our fadeouts that are causing the sub 10 goals a game.
You could have Buddy up forward and we would still be in a similar position.
We are the masters of free agency.

You must have been watching different games to me lately. Our delivery into the forward line has been abysmal of late.

In portions yes it absolutely has...but it's not because they are unable to do it. I guess I believe we have the talent and
I'm happy to put my faith in Bomber and the boys and see what they deliver......it's only a year after all :)
