The way I see it, a key forward is defined by the teams midfield.
Once our midfield is up and running again, Fevola will hit his straps and take the comp by storm.
Agreed Fev is a match winner and needs a good supply!, Having Fisher, Waite and Betts allows Fev to be opposed by 1 opponent rather than 3 each week. Remember if Fevola did a Tarrant and ran up the ground onto the wing, to gather the ball himself, everyone would bag him because he is not playing his position. All we need is more takling more when the ball is in our attacking 50.
In a few years we will be saying how our forward line is unstoppable.
ALthough we are crying out for a natural FB. Carlton has many running flankers who are too attacking which allows there opposition to zone off. Our skills aren’t up to scratch which means turnovers happen far too regularly and the free men hurt us. The Backline concedes too many points per game (I think we average 110 points against). Although we need defensive playmakers in the backline, they need to at least be accountable for there man.
We still need a leading midfield which is still a fair way away! Bentick has been outstanding however I don’t think he’s body will be able to stand 22 games in 2006 on the ball.
