Post: # 1182088Post saintsRrising »

At some stage in 2012...or 2013 one might see:

Milera Roo Peake
Saad Stanley Markworth

Which would be one quick forward line.....

That would be lightning!! Would be interesting to see if it would function though. Stanley and Riewoldt are both more likely to want to mark on the lead, as opposed to a taking a big, contested mark. May just lack that bash-and-crash FF!

Not even in the NAB???


But is it really fanciful?

Roo is a given.
Peake is likely to be in your 22.

Saad looks good enough to play Round 1.

So that leaves ;
* Milera...will be 24 by the time the season starts.
* markworth..will be 20 by Round 2.


Now Schneider and Milne will be core to our forward line in 2012...but both will be rotating.

Even Milney will be rotating through the bench...and even midfield.

It might be quick but I would have thought a forward line which scores the most goals and prevents the ball escaping would be of greater benefit than quick.

Maybe Peake could be dropped to Sandringham, but I can't see Riewoldt being dropped to join the others, so it won't happen.

For relentless forward pressure - chasing, harassing and tackling .. you need quick players.
6 quick forwards is better than only 1 or 2 quick forwards that we currently have.

Our current forward line isn't kicking enough goals - but it also doesn't apply enough forward pressure and allows the easy rebound which results in more goals to our opposition.

so it's good to dream about a quick forward line .. on the other hand be careful what you dream, as it may come true ?? :)

Or we could go a mix of talls/speed/crumbers in the forward line - Roo, Kosi, Stanley / Milne, Schneider, Saad

and have it delivered lace out by our (potential) elite kickers on a wing -Sipposs, Winmar, Crocker, Seb Ross

Milne, Schneider and Saad that's 2 small forwards too many .. I reckon.
I hope we rotate them through one at a time... and they can spend time in the midfield too.

For balance we need 2 quick medium sized forwards.
