Who wins the Coleman Medal - Ben, Jack or Buddy?

[beta_condition]

Buddy's also played 3 less games than Riewoldt and Brown

Games Played
J.Riewoldt 21
B.Brown 21
L.Franklin 18

Quite amazing that he's still in the hunt.

Yep another year Franklin ends the home and away with the highest average, I think it's the fifth time.

Looking at Buddy for example, his behind tally shows he has heaps more shots than his rivals. Now on one hand that indisputably proves that he can create opportunities like nobody else. No argument.
But it is also a symptom of the fact that he will have a ping at the sticks from just about anywhere and from time to time he does it at the cost of finding teammates in better position. Hawkins is one, and I know there are a lot of others, who's first instinct is often to try and find a teammate.

That's not a dig at Buddy by the way. Great players want to take the shot. But I think you'd find the others could significantly boost their behind tally as well if they backed themselves as often as Franklin does.

The three are pretty even in terms of giving the ball off for goals.....Hawkins 21 Goal Assists, Buddy 18 Goal Assists, Brown 15 Goal Assists...it would be interesting to see how many others they gave off were not converted, would probably reinforce that the big boys should just go for it themselves!! Also, you would need to consider OOF as well...which just makes it ridiculous. Did the Coleman ever go into the final series, or always been just H and A?

Eight for Hawkins v GC might snag a Coleman

Surprise win to the Suns fueled by Gaz’s defection will leave Cats in ninth place

 

[flamethrower]

Got a feeling that Tom Hawkins will reach double figures against the Suns, after seeing what Jack did to them - that should be enough to get the chocolates.

 

[threesixpio]

Riewoldt vs Bulldogs - 3
Brown vs Saints - 5
Buddy vs Hawks - 6
Hawkins vs Suns - 7

Who asked you

You'd think a player who has kicked decent season hauls as regularly as he has (7 in a row of 47+ from memory) would have a higher personal best than his 7 for a match so he will never get a better chance to go large you'd think.

Jack on 18 as well. Very even year at the top statistically

Budwah in doubt for this week - groin strain.

and then there were 3...

 

[dean33]

Geelong would have to play poorly to not win by 100+ on Saturday. Let’s see if Hawkins can play well. Kicked 6 of 24 against Freo.

He’s paying $5 at the moment, a good bet as could kick 10 against the suns.

Agreed- would be a surprise. I think the suns have sprung their upset for the year already

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Would be nice for Jack or Budd to win but expect they are both looking to Finals success. Expect Swans and Tiger fans feel the same.

A BB win would be good for the young fella and finally give North fans something of a win they can cheer about.

 

[Back One Out]

Geelong will feed Hawkins the ball

He'll kick 8 or 9

 

[DarkPhoenix]

I reckon just 1 goal is enough for Jack to seal it.

Brown's way out of form and frustrated with the 2-3 defenders he draws, can't see him kicking 4 to pinch it.

 

[RUNVS]

If Buddy plays tonight there is a chance he can kick 4 or 5 goals.

Riewoldt needs at least 2 goals in the last quarter and a half.

 

[craffles]

* jack Riewoldt. Absolute flog.

Hope benny wins it

 

[RUNVS]

**** jack Riewoldt. Absolute flog.

Hope benny wins it

Also I could be wrong but I think both Brown, like Franklin has missed a number of games this year while Riewoldt has played all of them.

Brown missed Round 13.

Riewoldt isn't losing it from here, they'll get him another goal to make sure of it in the last 1/4

Brown missed Round 13.

Yeah he isn't losing now as Richmond are kicking it to him every time.

Pity Buddy missed the 4 games earlier in the year.

North Melbourne had the bye round 13, Ben Brown has played every game this year

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Of course, good point.

Forgot the bye rounds aren't just half the teams playing one week, half the next but in the same round.

Well the ball is in Hawthorn's court now

If Budwah can kick 8 tonight, he deserves the Coleman.
