Young CHF's

[Xsess]

Where did this Kennedy support come from?

He's played maybe 1 or 2 good games in his career, and Travis Cloke has won a best and fairest. Cloke's also only 6 months older than Kennedy, and probably more athletic. I don't think I'm being ridiculously biased to suggest that a guy who's won a B & F is probably a fair way ahead of a guy who's played 24 games and not looked all that impressive in most of them.

I honestly can't see how anyone figures that he's got more potential - People point out Clokes kicking, but he has turned it around largely, as he's at 68% accuracy this year, and 60% since the middle of last year.

Kennedy was a teenage CHF playing out of position in the ruck in the worst team in the competition. It no coincidence that at 20, playing under Worsfold he's beginning to find his feet.

This is Kennedy's third year.

Last year, in Cloke's third year, he won the Copeland Trophy, and "Best Finals Player" in a team that made a Preliminary Final.

I'm not saying that Kennedy isn't or won't be any good, but he's miles behind Cloke at this point.

Clarks over rated imo,

Agreed, like other posters have said he wasn't even recruited as a tall forward.

Cloke is the worst mark out of those four in my opinion with probably Kennedy being the best. Also they both aren't the greatest kick on goal.

Gumby is unproven in AFL though i think he will be an absolute gem if he can get himself on the right track.

Right now I would say

Potential:
Gumbleton
Kennedy
Clark
Cloke (Sorry I just don't think he has much more improvement left in him. Whats he sposed to get better at? Tarrant anyone?)

Current:
Cloke (By a mile)
Kennedy
Clark
Gumbleton
(These will definately change)

Cloke is a mile in front at this stage.

I did see a bit of Gumbleton at U18 level and thought he looked a special talent. Getting a bit worried about his durability, though.
