Both were flat track bullies this year.
But a couple of Colemans has Riewoldt ahead. Gets a harsh go on here and in the media even when he was actually at his best (2010, 2012).

I feel like this poll was done relatively recently (maybe mid 2014?) 
Jumping Jack for me (partially out of Richmond bias but also because he's got the runs on the board too and is younger).
Kennedy:

Not much in it, both solid B graders - went with Kennedy.
Similar output the last 2 seasons but i'd probably go with Kennedy just because of how woeful the delivery has been at West Coast the past 2 years.
Jack's obviously had the better career though.

Nice. Judging an AFL player's ability to play off their "attitude." Keep eating the media's bs
Settle down champ.
He didn't even mention playing ability. He just said if he could pick one he would pick Kennedy because Riewoldt's attitude can be off-putting.

This shouldn't even be close.
I'll take the two Colemans thanks.
I'll add that I rate Kennedy very highly as well, but Jack has and always will be criminally underrated on this forum because people don't like him. Star.

Both quality, both in their prime but questionable whether either are a top 5 KPF, Kennedy probably borderline.
Everyone can't be A grade.
I rate jack very highly but his colemans are partly due to being the sole focus point for the Tigers.
Different players though. Jk more of a genuine power forward, jack very consistent. Both clubs probably content with who they have

JR8, although there's some bias there.
I've always rated Josh Kennedy and every year i think "this will be his year" eg i bet on him to win Coleman this year but he never seems to quite reach the level i expect from him. Ultimately his performances were that of a flat track bully this year even though i rate him as so much more than that. He seems like he has the full package in terms of endurance, pace, marking ability and goal kicking accuracy and yet it never seems to translate into him taking the competition by storm. Truthfully he often struggles against the best defenders in the comp.
Jack Riewoldt may not be particularly likable and he may be quite the stager as well but honestly a key forward who takes marks and kicks as straight as he does is incredibly valuable. He's very clever in how he moves around goal and as time has gone on he's become more team orientated. I think he delivers more consistently than Josh Kennedy and he has more runs on the board.
I actually voted Josh Kennedy but now that i've written this up I realise I probably should have gone with Jack Riewoldt.

Reiwoldt's ability with Kennedy's attitude
