Tredrea's legacy in our game is comically overrated at times. He wouldn't be top dozen. We're talking about entire careers here, not 3-4 years.

I'll put Tredrea a cool 11th, marginally making my top dozen.Yep definitely would put Pav instead
Buddy the best but Pav shades tredders and pips st nick by a noseDo you consider Shane Crawford to be on the same level as Voss, hird, Buckley?
Pavlich is the same level as Crawford. An absolute superstar who SHOULD be regarded in the top echelon, but playing for a struggling team for the majority of his career has ensured he sits a rung below
Travis Cloke not in the conversation?I'll put Tredrea a cool 11th, marginally making my top dozen.

Considered him. Great peak. Would be in the next 2 or 3. The more time passes, I think the glove is an asterisk.Travis Cloke not in the conversation?
Strangely in a way Yes. He did win a Brownlow medal in 1999. But yeah he stuck through many tough years at the hawks.Do you consider Shane Crawford to be on the same level as Voss, hird, Buckley?

What about a best utilities thread?The problem with Pavlich is he is not just a Key Forward.
I had the same problem with Goodes and Bontempelli as none of them really fit in a nice easy to define category.

Actually think Tredrea is mostly underrated. He was an amazing player who was dominant in the comp for a while. I probably wouldnt have him top 5 in this list but he is definitely a top 10 key forward so far this centuryHe was named chf AA four years in a row only Carey matched that.
8x leading goal kicker at port
2001-04 he dominated
I don’t think his overrated
J brown by a country mile is the most overrated fwd
Yeah below roo and Pav buddy above brown rough and HawkinsActually think Tredrea is mostly underrated. He was an amazing player who was dominant in the comp for a while. I probably wouldnt have him top 5 in this list but he is definitely a top 10 key forward so far this century
This one for me.Buddy #1
Riewoldt #2
Pavlich #3
Lloyd #4
Fevola is a surprising exclusion, he was a top tier forward, won 2 Coleman medals. I honestly believe had he taken his career more seriously, he could have been at Franklin's level, he was blessed with talent.
I know I'm being pedantic. And stuff like maths and counting is going out of fashion. But seriously, wtf? How does the year 2000 qualify as part of the 21st century?Key Forwards

In order to be on the list
- Must have won 4 All Australians or more
- Must have won a majority of those All Australians in the 21st century, which is why Lloyd makes the list (just) but Wayne Carey doesn't even though he technically won an AA in 2000.
Now this is not quite as easy as I first thought it would be since I thought Buddy would be a shoe in not realising Lloyd was eligible too as Lloyd was a very good player, but I am still going to have to go with Buddy as I feel like he played majority of his career in a time when scoring goals was harder than when Lloyd played, and Buddy could do things no other player in the history of the game could do.
Who do you think is the best Key Forward of the 21st Century?
