Port Adelaide Forwards

[tkringle]

Was a whisker off getting Wingard this week, didn't grab him, he still scored alright. But did he go back to splitting half/half forward and mid? I didn't watch the game so am asking. Or was he just low on disposals this week.

He went forward quite a bit, alternating with Gray.

Wingard played the first 1/2 on ball head to head with Viney & Viney got way too many clearances so Chad got shifted forward. It looked like Ebert shifted to the middle in the 3rd 1/4 & Robbie head to head with Viney in the last. None of which stopped Viney winning clearances but it was under more pressure than Chad provided. There were times in the first 1/2 it looked like SPP had to take responsibility for Oliver & Viney such was the lack of defensive mindset from Chad. I am harsh on Chad 'cos although he played OK I think he is one of the few players we can get more from. A 2 times AA & proven match winner at his best. Here's hoping.

Also of interest for Hoff owners. Roaming Brian said he topped the Telstra Tracker numbers. That's impressive for a tall.

Whats the consensus on Hoff v Gray at this point? Need one to finish off my forward line.

I already have Boak and if I could go back in time Id change that but too late now!

Neville Jetta played an incredible game negating Gray and Wingard when they were forward. Both scored pretty well when playing mid but generally struggled to score SC points when manned by Nev.
Gray was really battling in the first half under immense pressure. Couldn't take clean possession so was doing all the little knock ons. Got cleaned up a few times throughout the game. There would have been some very sore boys after that high pressure game.
The next few games should be a bit more free flowing. Hopefully that helps their scores!
Westhoff looked quite lackadaisical for most of the game, don't know if he always looks like that, but had an impact in important moments and the 2 goals helped.
Boak and Ebert had great games. Probably partly due to Melbourne's planning to negate Robbie and Chad.
Was an awesome high pressure game.

Yep all good observations.
Westhoff does always look like that imo, just his laid back style. He actually works pretty hard for a big guy.

Think theres a decent chance that Westhoff and Gray could finish the year as the top 2 forwards.

Glad I have both

Wingards last month has been excellent too - wish I grabbed him

Boak is flowering killing me though

[BundyOP]

Got Gray, Westhoff and Wingard.

Wingard as M9/F7.

Put him on field to loop Buddy.
Best move I've done all year

[Wanderer]

Gray with a blistering start and only ends up with 85. He is averaging 92 the last 6 weeks with only one score over 100. He is all class and a gun player, but not sure if he will end up being in the top 2 SC forwards this year.

[tkringle]

Cudos to those who grabbed Wingard when he was cheap. Looks to be a perfect M9/F7..

Boak stop spudding it you potato filled fry.

Worst 50/50 of my year. Boak over the Hoff. Costing between 20-30 points a week.

M9/F7?  :o

He's my F6.  :-X

Wish I'd grabbed Wingard as my last upgrade. Only cost one trade, now I have to make a downgrade too.
Just wary of his early form/scoring and midtime.
