Analysis Josh Kennedy: Back 2 Back 2 Back Coleman Medalist?

[FKASC]

Surely he's an AA lock at the very least, making it 3 in a row.

Along with Yeo also possibly scraping in, at least the year hasn't been an entire skid mark.

Not a chance in hell Yeo is named as a starting defender in the AA this year

 

[Dark Sharks]

Not a chance in hell Yeo is AA this year

You are going to perform fellatio on me if he gets the nod.

It was a soda until Simpson started ****ing with his position and taking him out of the backline.

Yeah but even if he stayed in the backline you know there's that unwritten rule about not being selected until you've done it for a few years...

Pardon the interruption but thought you all might like reading this ESPN article on how good JK's year has been:

Back in 2001, Matthew Lloyd averaged 5.05 goals per game, light years in front of Matthew Richardson in second place, who racked up 2.84 goals per game. Lloyd scored 1.78 times as many goals per game as Richardson that year - the highest ratio between the league leader and the second place-getting on record.

Kennedy's 2017 season is right up there - he's kicked 1.36 times Daniher's average, which makes Kennedy's the equal third most dominant season on record.

JK did well with limited chances tonight. Extended his lead to 5(?).

Joe playing atm. Ideally goes goaless and gets a week for a rough tackle.

 

[Biggie]

Joe Daniher

ZERO goals thus far, still a half to go.

Keep him goalless GCS

 

[the harry]

Joe only got 1 I think

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Very good GC.

 

[wce4premiership]

That's brilliant news!

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Great result today for JK's Coleman chances. Daniher with only 1 goal and JK with 1 more than I expected him to get puts him 4 ahead. If JK gets just 3 next week, Daniher will need 8 to win it outright, while Buddy needs 9.

 

[the harry]

A lot of very good players have never got close to a hat trick of coleman medals. Would be huge!

 

[lewigie]

Kennedy is up by 5

Edit: whoops, AFL app didn't update the recent game . He's only up by 4

 

[eaglespremiers]

Kennedy is up by 5

You and math are simpatico.

Whoever doesn't look for JK this week against the Crows ought to take a pay cut

LeCras won't play.

Crazy to think Darling is 6th on our all time list

 

[The_Reaper]

Crazy to think Darling is 6th on our all time list

It's entirely probably that he'll end up with 270+ games, 500+ goals and never really having a really great season.

 

[Boohemian]

It's entirely probably that he'll end up with 270+ games, 500+ goals and never really getting any credit it for it.

Fixed it for you.

 

[Gizza]

Whoever doesn't look for JK this week against the Crows ought to take a pay cut

We play last, so we will already know exactly what he needs. He might not even actually need any.

 

[WCErevival]

Crazy to think Darling is 6th on our all time list

What about Hill. Had he played the last month he would have topped Gehrig and Cummings.

 

[FKASC]

What about Hill. Had he played the last month he would have topped Gehrig and Cummings.

Yeah that is also pretty crazy

In future we will look back at the last 5-6 years and scratch our heads, not least because of our goalkicking list

 

[Matera92]

Just kick it to JK, nothing else matters.
