Improvement on last season goes without saying. We'll need it.

41.26 last season if he can covert that to 51.16 that would be excellent.
Maybe even have an extra 10 shots at goal to last year and get to somewhere like 55 goals.

60+ goals

And a focus on defensive pressure inside 50

LOL
Kent Kingsley, Jordan McMahon , Patto, JON ,Hislop and a cast of others ring a bell.
No doubt your taking the pisss out of us, LOL

Anyway, gotta get one right eventually

[Hellenic Tiger]

Defensive pressure I agree with.
Stop trying to take mark of the year and just compete. If mark of the year comes then good.
Start kicking goals(set shots) from the right forward pocket/flank therefore making him more unpredictable than playing more on the left where he can run onto his right foot.

Not taking the pee,
Yes they got a shed load wrong and less of a fan of those two you'd struggle to meet, I just reckon he's been a damn fine pickup and on this occasion I am just acknowledging that they got it correct. dp35 for Mitch is a very good outcome.

second that!

Definately one of the shinning lights for the RFC since he crossed from Perth. He is still young and learning the game and will get even better year to year. A real star in the making for mine, shows a little flair which all star do and has a real hunger to improve.
He is a very important player to our forward line and a return of 50 plus goals will be a great result.
Also with the hope of a few KP players coming through over the next couple of years it will take a fair bit of pressure off him to just go out and win some footy.
He reminds me alot of Steve Johnson from Geelong the way he can do what alot of other just cannot.
He is something special imo....

will be leading goal kicker for Tigers in 2010

50 plus goals please.............and no brain implosions like we saw against Port last year.

[tony_montana]

talented fwd capable of kicing goals, 40+ goals for a medium fwd in our side is already a great return. Get that up to 50+ and that's competition elite status. Just needs to improve defensive pressure to become the complete player.

[Smokey]

Whilst I agree with those saying they want more defensive pressure from him (you can never have too much pressure), his stats show an improvement in tackles each year (2.7 last year) and if it improves again this year he will average at least 3 tackles a game - that's a fair output from a mid-sized forward.  As a comparison, I would consider Fevola to be reasonable at forward defensive pressure and yet he only averages 1.4 per game and in his best years only averaged 2.

[tony_montana]

yep fair call, but for mine its not just abt tackles but perceived pressure, a times he can look a little laconic?

Also you can allow for Fev to be less defensively orientated bc he kcks 70-90 goals a season. If he kicked 50-60 you'd expect more.
