Kennedy and the Coleman Medal

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

I know most of us aren't expecting him to win this, especially with lack of finals, but I think we need a thread dedicated it anyhow.

At the begining of this round Kennedy is tied 4th with 25. I'm hoping for a top 5 finish at years end.

This is how it stood before the round begun:

1. Pavlich 29
2. Brown 28
3. Johnson 25
3. Fevola 25
3. Hall 25
3. Kennedy 25
7. Bradshaw 24
8. Mooney 21
9. O'hAlapin 21
10. Roughead 21

So far this round Johnson has 1, which is easily done. Hall has 2 in late in the 3rd quarter, Pavlich has 3 late in the third and Bradshaw has 1, plus an injury of some kind.

I'm thinking Kennedy should be able to pull away from Johnson, Bradshaw and Hall this round.

Top 3 finish Or win it

 

[Quinz]

Can't see it being a really high scoring game for us tomorrow.

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

Also forgot to say, Hall has been reported. I haven't seen it yet but if he misses some games it should help Josh get some seperation.

 

[Mattman93]

I just don't see him being able to keep up a standard for the whole year that would land him top 3 or 5 in the coleman. 50 goals would be a good target for this year, next year hopefully he could push for it.

I get the same feeling but in our 3 lowest scoring games this year -

63 against the Swans
73 against the Dockers
75 against the Demons

Kennedy has scored 3, 3 and 2 goals respectively. That's not too bad considering the scores and I think it suggests that he finds the goals regardless of how we play.

 

[anti_]

not going to happen, would be amazing though.

i expect him to finish with 60 odd.

Does the Coleman include finals goals??

 

[Byron_Clanger]

If the mids keep pumping the ball down to him, he will do the rest

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Does the Coleman include finals goals??

Nope.

 

[Jimmy_the_Gent]

Does the Coleman include finals goals??

It doesn't.

I wasn't thinking when I wrote that.

My bad.

 

[Mayneman]

 

[Quinz]

That's not Kennedy?

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Only three today.

Kennedy to kick six against the Saints.

RE: Pavlich - I'd be curious to know if a player has ever kicked 70 goals in a year and averaged 20 possessions per game. Pav has been around the mark from 2005 - 2008 but this year looks like he might pull it off.

 

[Prem87]

With Hall being reported, Fev and Brown will
most likely miss games with injury or play well below their best injured you would think the JK would give it a decent crack.

 

[james Dean]

It took me about 2 minutes to realise who Johnson was.. Can't believe steve johnson has kicked 25 this year..

Hopefully JK can win it, great bloke and player

From memory Brad Johnson's done 60+ goals and 500 disposals in a season

Carey kicked 80 goals and averaged 19.5 touches a game, twice.

Johnson's best was 74 goals and 467 touches.

Leigh Matthews would've gone close to 70 goals, 500 touches a few times but I don't have any stats to prove/disprove that.

 

[bodazoka]

Can Pav win the brownlow and the coleman you rekon?

Have to be a midfielder to win it.

 

[ARRunner]

Well Considering Kennedy kicks 3 goals a week, and sometimes more. There is a good chance of him being up there. This would of course depend on if the Eagles get better as well.

suggests Mathews came very close in 84, and he had much better years earlier than that, must have done it at least once
