Re: Where are our goals going to come from?
Reply #26 –
I just had a quick look at our 2022 and 2023 goalkickers:
2022 - Key forwards 126, Small/medium forwards 72, Midfielders 61, Rucks 4, Defenders 5
2023 - Key forwards 124, Small/medium forwards 101, Midfielders 63, Rucks 9, Defenders 9
The figures are a bit rubbery as players change roles and I've treated Silvagni as a key forward rather than a ruck, but the increased efficiency of our small and medium forwards was significant in 2023. Crippa's output dropped from 20 to 9 but his midfield teammates more than picked up the slack.
Our gameplan and personnel are very different to Collingwood's and that is reflected in their 2023 goal kicking breakdown:
Key forwards 88, Small/medium forwards 109, Midfielders 101, Rucks 32, Defenders 4
However, it would be great if we could get more of a contribution from our rucks and midfielders.
Interesting, thanks for that DJ
