Who is the best Key Forward of the 21st Century?

[PowerfulPies2023]

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?

Because it is.

 

[HairyO]

Because it is.

2000 was the final year of the 1990s/1900s/1000s.

Or are you suggesting one of the previous decades had only 9 years/centuries only had 99 years or the 1st millenium had only 999 years ?

 

[perplexed]

Because it is.

It really isn't. 2000 was the 2000th year. Making it the last year of the twentieth century.
2001 is the first year of the new century, like round 1 is the first round of the new season. We dont have a round zero. That would be nonsense.

No, it shouldn't, 21st century began in 2001.

 

[GoldbergsGold]

Because it is.

There's no year 0, so every century begins with a 1 on the end.

 

[GoldbergsGold]

2000 was the final year of the 1990s/1900s/1000s.

What? 2000 is the first year of the 2000's decade, and 20 hundreds, but it's the final year of the 20th century and 2nd millennium.

I wouldn't use that as an example. It's as simple as a century is 100 years, and there's no year 0 with The Gregorian Calendar we use, Anno Domini begins with the year 1 and then you count to the end of 100 to get that 1st century, and then the next century begins with 101 and ends with the end of 200. The pattern continues like that up until the current 21st century that begins with 2001 and ends at the end of 2100, then the 22nd century starts in 2101 and so on.

 

[HairyO]

So which decade had only 9 years?

Hint: there was no year 0. The very 1st decade AD was 1 AD to 10 AD.

All decades, centuries and millennia start with a 1.

Will have 5 Coleman's (at least) plus a premiership medal or two by the time his career is done.

Right now Buddy.

 

[perplexed]

No, it shouldn't, 21st century began in 2001.

Which is what I said.

 

[GoldbergsGold]

Which is what I said.

I know, I was affirming what you stated and correcting others.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Matthew Pavlich kicked 700 goals from 353 games .

If us dockers fans wanna be trolling, dockers fans would say that Kepler Bradley is a bombers and dockers legend lol

Should certainly in the poll & part of the discussion... well ahead of Barry Hall for starters.

But Buddy the best for mine.

 

[GoldbergsGold]

So which decade had only 9 years?

Hint: there was no year 0. The very 1st decade AD was 1 AD to 10 AD.

All decades, centuries and millennia start with a 1.

I'm not sure who told you all decades start with 1, they can begin with 10 different numbers. And if you mean the beginning of a decade ends with a 1 that is still wrong, too, since there's only 2 that resemble The Gregorian "decades" that lasted for 9 years, 1AD to 9AD, and 9BC to 1BC. Every other decade number ends with a 0. The Gregorian Calendar uses the 0-to-9 decade method, even when there's no year 0, so that means it has to be 1AD to 9AD. They're not true decades, though. 0s - Wikipedia

you can even make an Argument of Taylor Walkers 612 goals and 260 games edges out Warren Treadreas 549 goals from 255 games.

 

[kreuze_missile]

It's obviously Franklin.

But also...

Fevolva kicked more goals from less games than either of these plodders.

 

[Freomaniac]

Fevolva kicked more goals from less games than either of these plodders.

Brendan Fevola kicked 623 goals and 402 behinds from only 204 games.

Not bad. His Off field problems hurt his career though.

And yes I was gutted when he was stuck on 99 goals in that 2008 season. That was a legit push in the back vs the hawks.

Just think… if the Blues had manufactured a way to get Fev another goal that season, Fevola would be the last player to have kicked the ton.

I was there.

Blues tried everything.

Hawks had the game wrapped and sent multiple spares back to make sure it didn’t happen.

Thanks Clarko ya flog.

 

[bzparkes]

. We dont have a round zero. That would be nonsense.

Who's gonna tell him?..

 

[QuietB]

A question that no-one was asking because the answer is so obvious.

Also the criteria appears cherry-picked to exclude the guy who, if included on the list, would have the third most goals, second most goals this century (238 goals more than Tredrea) and second most Coleman medals, but only three AAs (after not being selected one year when he won the Coleman Medal).

Or the guy with 700 goals (151 more than Tredrea) and six AAs, including three selections at HF or FF.

It's almost like the OP is trolling.

His book is s**t though

 

[The 747]

Buddy is obviously the best player on this list but I kinda have a problem with the term key forward and Franklin. More the best forward flanker of all time.

 

[eth-dog]

The underrating of Lloyd ITT is hilarious.

 

[The 747]

The underrating of Lloyd ITT is hilarious.

Not just ITT, he's underrated in general.

 

[HairyO]

The underrating of Lloyd ITT is hilarious.

He only kicked about 500 goals in the 21st century. If it was the last 25 years instead of the 21st century, its probably another 250 goals for Lloyd and he is absolutely in the top 3.

Crawford probably is in the mix for mids if you do the same thing.
