No just ridiculous to think that Nick Riewoldt is a better player than Buddy.

We must base them on there career up to date. and Riewoldt is no where near Buddy. Im sorry but.. thats how it is.

ok so this thread had nothing to do with buddys performance?

just riewoldt...ok

you have no clue

i'm not saying riewoldts better in every way but geez...

just because geelong dont have a champion centra half forward

goals arent everything mate

and riewoldt not having a premiership is nothing to do with his perfomance... his season and the finals games he played, AMAZING

and i'm not having a go at buddy at all, both match winners and champions of the game
 
He plays up the ground, and is deeply involved in so many more scoring outcomes that would make his playing influence greater than Franklin, is the captain of his team, is the reigning All Australian Captain, which is his 4th jumper, he's been the St Kilda B+F 5 times in a team that's consistently played deep into September surrounded by names like Hayes Dal Santo Goddard Montagna who are all great players as well. Buddy's had one good year sitting in the goal square winning a Coleman (something the G-Train could win twice) and a Best and Fairest.

At the age Buddy got his Coleman, Riewoldt was the AFL MVP. I rank the MVP over the Coleman.

OK who else here thinks that Riewolts MVP season was better than Franklins 2008 season?

you are a moron.

And Franklin has won as many flags as St Kilda (and one more than Riewoldt)

just from memory wasnt it hawthorn that won that grand final, not just buddy?

not relevant

both good players tho, and u can make arguements for either being better

troll of a thread tho

Amazing what can happen when you dont have Cale "I'm the slowest player in the AFL and run like a complete spazzoid " Hooker chasing you
I would've thought that it was fairly obvious that Franklin was not running at full tilt in that video.
He's looking up the ground about to pass it, not trying to burn off an opponent like last night.
 
You are a complete and utter idiot!!

Does anyone have footage of Clint Jones running down Franklin??

This is relevant because....???

Even IF Buddy IS eventually remembered as the greatest player, which is obviously highly debateable, that does not make him immune to humanity and stuff-ups. Even Bradman went out for ducks sometimes.

So yes - CJ running down Buddy was inspirational stuff, but it is not relevant to this thread any more than St Nick's tears are relevant.

Based on your posts recently, you have a problem and should take a chill pill and enjoy St Kilda's success (?) while other clubs enjoy their own players highlights.

Forget stats, if I've got a few bucks in my pocket and want to go see a game as a neutral Im going to watch the Buddy show. Riewoldt is an out and out champion but there's something a little "roboish" (I think I invented a new word) about him, give me Buddy's high highs and low lows for entertainment any day.
 
Seriously everyone, the whole point of this thread was NOT to compare two great players but to simply enjoy the amazing things they can do.

Read the OP's further contributions to this thread, I can assure you the intent of this thread was not even remotely close to that.
 
St Kilda supporters are delusional.

Riewoldt is overrated.

At their best, Buddy is a lot better.

Riewoldt is only better than him at marking.

Cmon mate, Riewoldt isn't overatted he's an absolute star, in saying that if i had the choice of one or the other at the same age, i'd take Franklin.
 
If I had to rely on someone taking a contested mark for my life, it'd be Riewoldt.

If I had to rely on a goal being kicked from the boundry line or pocket. Buddy.

I'd have both of em in my team if I could
