Outside of what we have, I don't think we'd be able to snag someone even close to being as productive as Fevola in the forward line. We're not likely to have a top 10 selection anytime soon and even if we did top key forwards aren't available every year and when they are, they are more than likely going to disappoint (Thorp, Kennedy, Gumbleton, Dowler).
We shouldn't hold our breath waiting for someone to come in and take over Fev. We can add pieces, but as for a key forward, I believe what we have will be as good as it gets.
Kreuzer is a good kick, hard worker, mobile, he could definitely be someone players look for in the forward line. If any one of Jacobs, Hampson, Warnock turn out to be a top 5 Ruckmen, there is no reason to not play Kreuzer in another area that require his services more. Add in Betts, Yarran, Cloke, Garlett, Micho, plus whoever else, then it's a competitive Forward line.
I do believe, probably like most of you, that our best team over the next 10 years will be one with Fev still in it.
Wasn't Fev pick 40 something?
Who's to say we can't find a handy forward with a late pick.
Mr. Logic says we can't.
It was 10 years ago. Fev also had issues that took 5 years iron out and another 4 for more issues to be ironed. Regardless, with the football world looking for someone who can kick straight, has speed to burn and shoulders you can fit your bum on, isn't going to drop to pick 38.
