We already have a great forward and it's not doing us any good.
We need good midfielders - to get more (and better quality) entries into our forward line (and at the same time to ensure less opposition entries into our backline).
Agree 100% ... we already have Roo , and can't be competative , so if McCartin is as good as Roo is at present, we would be happy buy it's not going to do any good for quite a few years.
However if we get the best goal kicking mid-fielders we can get a one position forward in the future , but I think they are becomming dinosaurs like the center tap only ruckman
It does appear that the day of the key forward kicking huge bags at AFL is just about over. Coleman medals will probably be won by forty to sixty goals per year .... tops
There's still a bit of time to go , I'm backing in that Patracca will be standout number one come draft time!
