Fiora?

EDIT: Just noticed the "on average"

Would have to be BJ then. Was dominating the half back line at the start of the season.

Correct, BJ.

Was averaging more than 9 marks and 18 possessions going into the Sydney game when he did his knee.

BJ's statline is ridiculous.

To be kicking at 90% efficiency after a 3rd of a season is simply freakish. I can understand why the idea of him bombing goals from the HFF has caught on, but for mine, he's a backline quarterback. Leave the goal bombing to Gram (who BJ releases), who can also kick a bomb, but who's short game is played with run rather than accuracy.

The whole backline and midfield is better with the ball when Goddard plays.

There is no such position as a "quarterback" in AFL. :x Will fight these damn Americanisms.

Edit: D'oh, wanted to mention Lenny in post no. 2000. :x

I agree, keep BJ down back as the play maker, his ability to break lines with his kicking is invaluable and we look great with the ball in his hands coming out of defense. He can have a liscence to release himself up the ground and can be used to pinch hit up forward but his best position is HBF IMO.

P.S should not be excluded from captaincy discussions IMO either.


Maybe this year?

Think I can see where this is leading Riewoldting.

Next question?


They should only play AFL games now when it's raining. Slow games of footy are so much better to watch.

Don't tell BJ, he does it too well... don't wan't him thinking he's being un-Australian with his playmaking ability! ;)
