You don't need star key forwards to be grand finalists

Looking at the Swans last night and the quality of their key forwards

Amartey. Very ordinary footballer

McLean. Strong but bog average key forward

McDonald. Competent, but realistically B Grade at best


We match that level of key forward talent.

Small forwards have become increasingly important and statistically the ball stays on the ground more in finals games


If we had a quality midfield.....just two players extra of really quality, we could seriously challenge

Good to hear you don't need star forwards because we don't have any.


How many defenders will The Saints pick in the 2024 draft ? :lol:

Carlton says that the two coleman medalists in your side don't create premierships.

With the dominance of Brisbanes defense a gun key forward may have helped.

Top TEAMS win grand finals and a strong defence is a must. We need to build a good team
