Goaltracker 2018

Where will the goals come from?
How many will we get this year?
Who'll be the leading goalkicker?
Will we improve our percentage from 2017 to 2018?

After round 1 we have a bit of an indication that we'll be a more attacking side (even though we're only a goal up at this stage) ...will we maintain that?
Will the defence hold up?
Have a crack at a "Goaltracker" prediction.

Fair to say we'll obliterate the scores for column of previous years. The truck will be not leaking goals at the other end.

Curnow and Wright off to fliers but I still think the improvement will be a broad spread. Silvagni, Casboult, Garlett, Lamb and Pickett when he comes back will all hopefully finish well up on last year's personal tally.

Lang, Kennedy, Cripps, Murphy should combine for a few also.

We'll see.

Our much vaunted stingy defense of 2017 leaked 20 goals against Richmond last year, so we actually improved this year (they did have more scoring shots but I think we made life tougher).

I also think that we were very efficient with our scoring this year so we will see.

Scoring shots doesn't always mean that much. It wasn't like they missed a string of set shots right in front. Our defense forced them into a lot of bombing from wide because we got the numbers back to cover.

But once they score a point they're good at locking it in so it's essentially far easier to score a string of points than 2 goals.

They missed some very gettable set shots.

Dusty hit the post, he also blazed wide off a hand ball receive.

Cotchin popped it up in front of goal rather than shooting.

That's just what I can remember.

I don't remember them missing many set shots - except for a couple from long range wide out from Reiwoldt and Cotchin (who is over-rated / can't kick over a jam tin / set shots appalling).

They made more tough shots than they missed easier ones for sure.
Richmond didn't miss many you would pencil them in for that I can recall.

We had both Cripps and Dow miss very easy ones (the latter entirely).
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Somehow we decided that dropping one of the blokes who finished in our top four or five on our list was a good idea....

Interesting, thanks Lods. I was hoping we would see names like Cripps, Murphy, Kreuzer appearing in this list of goalkickers too, forwards are scoring ok, more help from mids would help
