Moved Thread Neutral fans: Hawkins or Riewoldt?

[PhatBoy]

Not trying to start an argument - I’m fairly neutral on the subject, natural bias would probably make me choose Tom but there are multiple arguments you can make the other way.

Just prompted by a comment in the Hawkins 700 goals thread

 

[CrowToon]

Hawkins and it isn't close

 

[Arr0w]

Both have been brilliant, very difficult to split. Even if you swapped both players, Tom a Tiger and Jack a Cat

 

[HairyO]

Tom was brilliant in a Grand Final, Nick had the smother. So Tom wins.

Jack I dont think is as good as either. But isnt that far off.

is a cheating sack of shit so Riewoldt wins by default.

Jack, he was a crucial part of Richmond's flags, Geelong would have won theirs without Hawkins

Any half decent forward would have done the same against a injured Ben Reid, anyway Jack's 2019 grand final was better

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

Jack, he's much better when the ball hits the ground and has more spring to take big marks.
He has also kicked more goals despite not playing at full-forward proper in 6 years.

 

[Alesana]

Hawkins. Reiwoldt's Colemans tend to make him over-rated as strange as that sounds - he has two of the three lowest number of goals for a Coleman medal in the last 50 years. (excluding covid 2020).

You haven't seen much footy if you think a 3 goal game is a all time great grand final performance

Do people think Mooney’s 5 in a grand final was an all time great performance? I sure don’t. Why is Jack’s in an absolute smashing in 2019 any different?

It takes a special kind of one-eyed nuffie to claim Hawkins' performance in the 2011 GF was anything other than phenomenal. Especially so when you consider Podsiadly was subbed out half-way during the 2nd quarter and he was playing a lone hand. Watch more football.

Mooney kicked most of his when the game was basically won, Jack kicked 3 of his in the second quarter to essentially end the game as a contest

A good game but not a great one, you really are insecure over this fact aren't you?

 

[Juddernaut08]

Tom the better player, Jack the better whiner and bitch

Hard to split

Didn't he still have to kick more goals than any other player in those years to win them though?

A Coleman is a Coleman, even with a lower tally he still had to be beat everyone else in the league.

Just love how your disdain over a footy club can make you seethe so much that you can't acknowledge a great performance when you see one. That was one for the ages, and you know it.

It was a good performance, but Jack was just better, I know Richmond's dominance of Geelong in games that matter may hurt, but you're just going to deal with it

ur biased

Fascinating

Wrong and deflecting. Yeah, you're done.
