Goaltracker 2018 March 24, 2018, 09:57:10 am 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?

Re: Goaltracker 2018 Reply #1 – March 24, 2018, 11:00:36 am 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.

Re: Goaltracker 2018 Reply #2 – March 24, 2018, 11:45:44 am 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.

Re: Goaltracker 2018 Reply #3 – March 24, 2018, 12:14:26 pm 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. Quote Selected
Re: Goaltracker 2018 Reply #4 – March 24, 2018, 01:53:37 pm We rushed quite a few as well I think Quote Selected

Cotchin popped it up in front of goal rather than shooting.That's just what I can remember. Quote Selected

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).

Re: Goaltracker 2018 Reply #9 – March 26, 2018, 11:07:00 am We had both Cripps and Dow miss very easy ones (the latter entirely). Quote Selected

Re: Goaltracker 2018 Reply #14 – April 10, 2018, 05:48:25 pm 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 Quote Selected
