Is Josh Kennedy the best tall forward in the game?

[Always Ballin]

I say yes.

In an era that lacks dominant, high scoring Full forwards Josh shines above the rest.

 

[The King!]

No

God how many dumb threads are starting after the eagles carlton bore fest?

 

[Always Ballin]

How many tall forwards have had multiple 10+ goal games in the modern era?

Josh has done it MULTIPLE times.

 

[HowYouDoin]

Yes.

I never seen a full forward captivate an audience before like Josh Kennedy did tonight.

Even as a brisbane fan, i felt myself cheering for him. And every-time he caught the ball, i found myself believing that maybe one day he will kick 7 against us, and show everyone in brisbane what it looks like to have a true full forward.

 

[MaxHunt]

Oh geez

 

[WWSD]

When rating genuine key forwards Hawkins and Tex Walker are both better.

Josh has done it MULTIPLE times.

And if that was the only way to judge a tall forward then you'd be correct. Unfortunately it isn't and you're not.

The correct answer is Buddy or Roughead. Roo and Pav would obviously be included if you're considering entire careers.

Kennedy is somewhere below those guys.

 

[AFDogs]

He's top 3.

How many trolling threads does this guy have to make on the MB before he gets banned?

I say yes.

Put the crackie down, Ben.

Franklin lacks the contested marking

Tex isn't as nimble and jifty as JK

 

[SickQwon]

Is Josh Kennedy the best tall forward in the game?

OR

Does Carlton have the worst defence in the game?

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

I have a man crush on Tex Walker

 

[Always Ballin]

How is this trolling? It's a viable legitimate question that is open ended for discussion. Stop thinking as if you're on the high seat of West Coast fans. I live 10 minutes from Subi Oval. Josh literally lives down the street from me. I bleed the yellow and blue.

 

[Always Ballin]

And that's walking distance.

Roughead?


Did Franklin kick the bucket?

 

[Ricky Vaughn]

Throw in Roughead and Franklin.

There isn't a clear gap in class (besides Franklin), but I'd rank him behind those 4.

 

[Forward Press]

Put the crackie down, Ben.

Don't think they have BigFooty privileges in Casuarina.

 

[Always Ballin]

Franklin and Roughead benefit from the best midfields in the game. Literally. Hawks and Sydney are stacked in the middle. You can't deny this.

WCE are pretty much the weakest midfield in the league

Is Josh Kennedy the best tall forward in the game?

OR

Does Carlton have the worst defence in the game?

A little from column A, a little from column B?

Seriously though, obviously not the best, Lance Franklin has him covered, so too would Pav and Reiwoldt career-wise, though maybe not right at this moment. Hawkins probably, not convinced about Tex Walker myself.

The bigger question is how good would he be with a top quality midfield delivering the ball?

But seriously, what's with a West Coast fan starting this thread.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Don't think they have BigFooty privileges in Casuarina.

Unlucky.

It can be two things.
