We're obviously going to struggle to kick scores this year, but finally some hope.

We could build a forward line around Weitering and Pickett.
SOJ doesn't find enough ball. But he makes fantastic decisions when he does. So that makes 3.
Charlie's talent makes 4.

Hopefully in a year or 2, Harry will make 5.

And I guess we'll just have to 'make do' with others like Wright or Armfield in the meantime. Obvious need for some classy small/mid-size forwards. I don't think Lamb is going to make it. Sumner still a chance. LeBois an outside chance.

Now we need the makings of a midfield.

We currently have 3 really good players, a good tagger then a bunch of VFL guys.

Hope SPS and Fisher can contribute soon

Our best defender isn't going to be playing in the forward line.

Our best defender isn't going to be playing in the forward line.

So our best forward should play in the backline?

Agree with this
1 goal forward whilst McCarthy kicked 6.
I have sat and watched Gibbs who should have been our general down back fluff around in the midfield for years

Who's our McCarthy? He doesn't exist

Gibbs general down back? Is that you Ratts?

Our defense is the least of our issues

We have basically no midfield and you want to take our best/2nd best one out of there?

So our best forward should play in the backline?

You find one.
When your side is weak you players should be playing to their strengths not playing in an area because we lack something there.
We have been plugging holes for years and missing out on seeing players develop to their strengths.
Kruezer as a forward
Gibbs in the middle
Murphy as a forward
Touhy as a back pocket
Henderson as forward
Now Weiters forward.
If you have a player that is 9 out 10 in a position you play them there . You don't play them where they are 6 out 10

We're in a development period for the next two seasons - minimum. Let your future 10 year defender play to his strengths and learn the trade. It's his second year. Don't make him your number one forward target. That's a ridiculous pressure to place on him. He's 19. If you want a stop-gap solution while McKay develops then put Rowe up there. Maybe he can kick a goal rather than costing us them.

I don't want a stop-gap. I've seen enough already. Weitering was a gun forward at junior level, before he played in defence at TAC Cup level. And I've seen enough at senior level. He's already our best forward. I thought he was fantastic against Freo. I'm convinced he could be an elite tall forward. Obviously he could also be an elite defender. But forwards are much harder to find then defenders. We've found a forward. I want him to play there for the next 15 years.
