Where will Collingwood's goals come from in 2015?

AFL Media's Ben Guthrie provides a player-by-player analysis of each prospective goal kicking option on the eve of the home and away season.

Brenden Abbott: A project player who the Pies believe, given the right development, will turn into a dangerous player inside forward 50. Possesses a raking left-foot and takes a strong grab.

Jarryd Blair: Blair will be keen maintain the rage in 2015 after a year which started badly when he broke his toe while riding his bike to the beach in the pre-season. The Pies will rely on the small forward's pressure to create turnovers.

Tim Broomhead: Magpie fans are yet to see the best of Broomhead, who has been limited by injury and illness (glandular fever) in his first two seasons in the league. But you get the feeling the youngster, who has played eight senior games, is ready to make his mark. A clever forward/midfielder who can pick his way through traffic with relative ease.

Travis Cloke: Perhaps Collingwood's most vital player, considering his importance to the team's structure. Cloke's fortunes in front of goal will be crucial in determining the Magpies' finals hopes this season.

Jamie Elliott: Elliott is one of the most exciting young players in the AFL and he is starting to match potential with consistency. The 22-year-old is a difficult match-up because of his aerial ability and speed at ground level.

Alex Fasolo: Set to return to the forward line after a year of experimentation in defence. Fasolo suits a forward role because he can make something out of nothing and doesn't need a whole lot of possessions to influence a game.

Corey Gault: The big forward has been unlucky with injury, but showed enough in his debut game, in the final round of last season, that he could be worth persisting with. The 199cm forward can clunk marks and finish his work from set shots.

Tyson Goldsack: A crucial member of Nathan Buckley's line-up, given his ability to play in a range of positions. However, Goldsack is most valuable as a pressure forward. When the Pies are up and about, Goldsack and Blair are usually right in the thick of things.

Patrick Karnezis: Failed to debut in his first season at Collingwood, after crossing from the Brisbane Lions. Now injury free, that's unlikely to be the case this season with Karnezis shaping as a potential round one debutant.

Lachlan Keeffe: Nathan Buckley told AFL Media that Keeffe will likely play forward this season as the Magpies search for another option to aid Travis Cloke. With Ben Reid, Jack Frost and Nathan Brown to fill the positions down back, shifting forward could prove to be an inspired move for Keeffe.

Ben Kennedy: The nippy small forward has found himself in and out of the side in the past two years, but 2015 looms as the right year for him to make himself a regular. Has improved his fitness meaning he can also have stints through the midfield.

Ben Sinclair: Initially drafted as a forward, Sinclair is more likely to spend time down back in 2015 (as has been the case in recent seasons). His speed off the mark and ability to scrap make him a valuable defensive option for coach Nathan Buckley.

Travis Varcoe: After eight seasons at Geelong, Varcoe Has made every post a winner since joining the Pies in the off-season. He is fitter than he has ever been and has been one of the most impressive summer performers at Collingwood. Likely to rotate between the forward flank and the wing at the Pies this season.

Jesse White: Shed a whopping eight kilograms in the pre-season to ensure he was in the best shape to attack the 2015 season. White had his moments in his first season at Collingwood in 2014, but if he can make more of an impact this year then the Magpies will be better off.
