Is Josh Kennedy the best tall forward in the game?

[DemonTim]

He's the best number 1 target
Issue with this is, the better sides have other targets as avenue to goal, so they don't go to their 1 90% of the time.

Mid table sides would kill to have him

 

[DemonTim]

My applogies. I just assumed 99.9% of big footy posters are guys.

Chicks love footy as well!

Also, the fact that he was originally calling Joe Daniher ugly, not the OP...

 

[NathanMX]

I would take Kennedy over Franklin. Paid half as much to kick just as many goals.

 

[InTheWings]

Since 2015:
Kennedy - 222 goals from 63 games.
Franklin - 184 goals from 63 games.

Kennedy averages 3.52 per game
Franklin averages 2.92 per game

Can't argue with that!! Josh is a bargain at half the price of Buddy!

 

[The King!]

Prior to today's games Franklin had 13 goal assists in 19 games, Kennedy had 8 in 14.

buddy leads the league for score involvements by a fair way

Kennedy is a great forward but guess we can see how they go in the finals and compare

 

[Boomerfan99]

7 against lol norf.

Can you not spell North?

 

[NathanMX]

7 against lol norf.

7.0 too so even more impressive.

 

[gothecrows]

Franklin gives away more goals than any other key forward

He's got less than half the goal assists of Walker, FYI.

 

[avishka5]

Can you not spell North?

I'm only 5.

 

[The King!]

Does Buddy share his money around as much as the goals too then?

Must be so tired counting his stack he only scores when he feels like it

And didnt Franklins biggest haul this season come against Brisbane, at home? Speaking of being great at home vs dud teams

Winner of the coleman is the best forward in the comp then? If thats your definition thats fine


But other than goal totals its not even close. http://finalsiren.com/PlayerCompare...rName4=&Compare=Compare&SelectedPlayers=1526,

He leads them by 9, over Dustin Martin. So not exactly a fair way.

 

[Farm Boy]

Considering the deplorable delivery into WC forward line - Kennedy is the best forward IMO.

Pretty sure WC has one of the leagues best forward lines ..

 

[The King!]

True
'But more score involvements
More goals
More marks
More tackles
More inside 50s
More hit outs


Again though walker is a great player also, and a good leader

 

[thecatattack]

Harry Ablett Snr >>

Dominated the best backman in the league today

 

[DemonTim]

You're 7th for points for, and just above melbourne...

 

[ashep]

Mate we've been putting up with that other bloody thread being bumped for 2 years now...
The answer is still no.

18 coaches out of 18 would pick Buddy.

What am I looking for on this chart?

VS each other they both kicked 2.2

Kennedy averages 4 goals per game
Franklin averages 2.8 goals per game.

Kennedy 60.33
Franklin 56.53

And at half the cost even.

If you mean about possessions then yes, Buddy has him licked, then again Nick Riewoldt averages the exact same amount of touches Buddy does, 17.1.

Lance gets up the ground just like Nick, so obviously he would have more touches then Kennedy.

 

[demondavey]

so I think it's safe to say JK is now the best forward in the league.
Missed a few games and still leads the Coleman - says it all really!

Another JK thread? Isn't it ironic that they all get posted every second week?

with Kennedy we are. Those stats would have been greatly affected by his absence this year

Score involvements (goal assists, too) is a bullshit stat. Muprhy, Gibbs, Kreuzer had 29 between them in a team that kicked 12 goals.

Last two years Buddy hasn't been good enough to get the coleman.

 

[Tasfut]

He is now only 21 goals behind Sumich to become the eagles all time leading goal kicker!

Why did it have to be a "West Coast" supporter.
