Devon Smith

will be top 10

Yeah! For a kid that plays forward of centre in a team that will continue to get more and more of the play forward of centre, logic says that a guy that already finds a heap of the ball, given how much more forward movements the Giants are expected again, how could he not be a top 10? ???

2 points of that average come from kicking the winning goal against FWB. Not a lot, but players with "points drag" worry me.

Another thing that worries me is 5 goals against STK for 107 points?

26 goals in a season is already up there for a non KPF. What is going to get those points up over 90? More midfield time? Not with Griffen dropping in.

Buddy
Goddard
Deledio
Swan
Dusty
Gray
Boomer
Bartel
Bennell
Roughy

That's why he won't be top 10. There's probably another 10 that could finish ahead of him too

[fasttrack13]

No team had 7 players who averaged over 90 last year...
If GWS were to have 7 it'd be
Mumford, Treloar, Ward, Griffen, Shaw, Shiel, Greene

I don't think Whitfield/Coniglio will breakout above 90 either. It would mean 1 would have to drop off.

8-10 players above 90 is pushing it and unrealistic, Smith will be lucky to go 85+.

Think those 3 will be around 90-95 and Boomer will drop back to around that 99-100 mark so to me there is 3 maybe 4 spots open  ;) won't be Smith in there though.
top 6-8 fwds this year will all be 100+ i reckon

Swan - way too much hype for a player getting his hip bone shaved post season.

[Holden the ball]

Wouldn't go over lids but potentially I've martin

Swan - way too much hype for a player getting his hip bone shaved post season.

All good reports on him from what I've heard and Buckley saying he will spend more time in the midfield again.
It's not hype when he's proven to be one of the great SC scorers for years on end

Yeah I like him, was hoping no one started bringing him to everyones attention tbh  8)

[jfitty]

I really like him actually! At his price I'd still get someone like Goddard over Smith, but he would make a perfect POD

[hawkboy80]

seems like a pod although i don't have the stats, goddard and gray b4 him for me tho
