Toast Retirement: Josh J Kennedy

[McIvor]

One of the real gentleman and good guys of the game. Will be sadly missed and was a favourite non-lion of mine e if he carved us up quite a few times.

Wish him well in whatever is next for him.

 

[BigVic]

Clearly the Eagles won the trade. They got Kennedy and pick 3 (Masten) in 2007 which turned out to be a 200-gamer and a 2018 premiership player

 

[PhatBoy]

Great player and great career. But in saying that, he's not even the best Josh Kennedy going around.

That’s an interesting debate actually

 

[_jrtp09_]

Great career that he can look back on with pride! Well done JK.

 

[numbat06]

Was the best kpf in the league for a solid 3/4 years

 

[My Tilly]

Franklin-> Brown-> Pavlich-> Riewoldt-> Tredrea -> Kennedy-> Hawkins-> J.Riewoldt -> Walker.

 

[HolyRioli]

Awesome career.

Best player to come out of Northampton by a margin

Will swing back Carlton's way if the Judd boys (and girl) end up being half decent father/son(daughter)s. Hoping like hell we get one of them at least.

 

[Danger Zone]

Franklin-> Brown-> Pavlich-> Riewoldt-> Tredrea -> Kennedy-> Hawkins-> J.Riewoldt -> Walker.

I reckon Brown and Tredders are a bit too high on that list but I'd say it's pretty close to how I see it.

 

[FreoRicci]

Franklin-> Brown-> Pavlich-> Riewoldt-> Tredrea -> Kennedy-> Hawkins-> J.Riewoldt -> Walker.

Pavlich and Riewoldt better then Brown tbh. Kennedy better then Tredea. More versatile and consistent player

 

[RUNVS]

As much as I love the Swans Josh Kennedy you would always take an elite key forward over an elite mid. They are more valuable.

 

[Dazb86]

Very very good forward. Overall a more important player than Judd IMO

 

[Ambrosia]

Franklin-> Brown-> Pavlich-> Riewoldt-> Tredrea -> Kennedy-> Hawkins-> J.Riewoldt -> Walker.

It’s hard to rate them as it’s so much harder to dominate games as a CHF in todays games. To me all of N.Riewoldt, Brown, Pavlich and even Tredrea had periods in their career where they were just ripping games apart on the regular. I never got that from the J.Riewoldt, Kennedy, Hawkins but it may not be because they were worse footballers but more to do with the era they played in.

 

[FRUMPY]

Franklin-> Brown-> Pavlich-> Riewoldt-> Tredrea -> Kennedy-> Hawkins-> J.Riewoldt -> Walker.

Brown way to high

 

[Running Dog]

Awesome career.

Well, it's funny you should say that, because two of the top three East Fremantle players in the AFL (i.e., AFL only, not VFL) came from Northampton- JK and Harry Taylor. (For the record, the third EF great was Simon Black).

JK is my wife's screensaver. Every time the phone rings up he pops with his Fred Flintstone bowling routine run-up. But even if he wasn't from the mighty Sharks I'd still love the guy. Hardly ever gets dark on his teammates, and is always encouraging. Top bloke, it's been great to follow his career, even if it was mainly to point out to the missus that an old lady crush on a young man is not the most edifying thing.

Ah yes the severe underrating of Richmond players continues. Jack should be behind Nick in that list. Can’t believe you are saying he is just a little better than Walker.

Kennedy is a far better player, dont be ridiculous.

Well Jack beats him Coleman’s, smashes him in club leading goal kickers and career goals and out scored the whole GWS team in the 2019 GF. He also was a prime factor for his clubs 3 flags compared to 1. So yeah maybe take off your interstate goggles.

[Ricketz]

An all time great.

I have no love for the club, but always respected this guy. Just a smooth operator.

 

[Sky]

Great player, better than Hawkins by a mile and just behind Jack imo. Kennedy by far was the most accurate kick of the 3, such a weapon in his prime.

I get it everyone has always loved to pile s**t on Darling but the simple fact is only 62 men have kicked 500 goals in history and Darling almost certainly will join that group soon. Kennedy had someone take goals from him for majority of his time at WC.

Riewoldt had Richo alongside him at the start of his career and Lynch towards the back end but I don’t remember a decent key forward with at least 400 goals for Richmond in the time between Richo’s retirement and Tigers landing Lynch whom played alongside Jack Riewoldt?

Nobody as we were a wooden spoon team. Lucky they could deliver the ball at all to Jack. Hawkins certainly didn’t have that problem, has had elite delivery his whole career. The fact he hasn’t kicked 800 goals yet and only won one Coleman is embarrassing.

Jack has more Coleman’s due to Kennedys injuries at his peak, would’ve easily had at least one more.

Career goals the same as proven by the fact he averages more.

Despite Jack flat tracking vs gws kennedys kicked far more final goals.

I thought you’d be able to appreciate his greatness after last season, a far better player than junktime.
