47 goals from 20 games. That's more than any Freo player since 2014 when Ballas kicked 49. That's a sort of problem we need. Of course whether he would be able to do that with our game plan and poor delivery is another matter.
Check the table below and you'll see that every player except Brown played in the finals to add to their tally. If Hogan had have not missed the last three games and played finals as well there is no doubting he would have finished much higher than 10th, quite possibly as high as 5th.
