Zero!!

The top 5-10 is so close that you could put them in just about any order, and you won't get too many complaints.

However, Ablett and Judd don't have "those games", which, IMO, sets them apart.

They also don't have many equivalent games of 7-8+ goals.

And to have a more fair comparison as guys like Ablett and Cox don't have many shots for goal you have to look at a similar statistic like say efficiency in kicks from Ablett or number of hitouts to advantage by Cox.

Yes they do.

hille HAD to be in this top 50, but so did sandilands... how an AA player can be left out baffles me... pavlich doesnt get enough credit... the guy has to carry a team virtually single handedly week in week out.... if franklin was at freo/west coast/melbourne he would have kicked 45 goals.... he is a gun and the perfect forward, but you wont see him playing in the middle.

how rioli got in ahead of palmer, who at 19 carried a midfield is a joke as well

i reckon the bombers have some players that can really step it up this year and push for a position on that list.... davey, houli, reimers and ryder all have unbelievable potential as well as lovett if he can get his head right

 

[bomba4eva]

Yes they do.

More then Franklin? Nope

It's hard to judge, because midfielders aren't judged on possessions as much as forwards are on goals.

Folks, it's the Herald-Sun. It has more pictures that it has words to cater for its readership base.

Mike's charter is clearly to appease to this denominator.

 

[smcateer]

Not sure what the exact amount was but let's say he kicked exactly 100 last year from 22 games. That's an average of around 4-5 goals per game. That is consistency. Franklin was probably the best player in the competition last year. 2.11 still means he had a whopping 13 shots on goal. He is still young enough to have room for improvement which will only further lengthen the gap between him and the 2nd best player. Superstar.

You would have to be really inconsistent to have an inconsistent average.

I think it's the variance you're after. (Sorry, I'm a nerd.)

Nerd or not, 4-5 goals per game is damn consistent and only the top echelon can manage that.

Let's see if he can do that over 2-3 seasons

 

[Special Guest]

The only logic I can think of that may be behind Hille missing is his consistency over previous seasons. Let's hope he can keep us his form and if he does, he surely will make next year's list.

In todays adevertiser, michelangelo rucci, the chief football writer did his top 50 with two bombers making it. Lloyd was number 26 and hille number 39. I would say he has more knowledge than than mike but he put chad cornes at 7, kerr at 31 and anthony at 50.

without having seen the list myself, the names and positions you mentioned there are pretty laughable!

he's not consistent. you do not understand averages

 

[GUMBLETRON]

Sheehan is a clown, but even if we did sneak a couple in there they'd be down the bottom.

 

[bomba4eva]

100 goals from 22 games. 4-5 goals per game. Not too hard to comprehend for even the most intellectually challenged

 

[Ben the Gooner]

That's not consistency.

He could have kicked 15 goals in 7 games, and 0 goals in the rest, and he wouldn't be consistent, yet he'd have kicked more goals.

 

[stay true]

His accuracy was consistently inconsistent.

I was referring to the course of the entire season. Kicked a goal in every game I believe and was consistently kicking 3, 4, 5 goals a game.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Kicked a goal in every game

I think you'll find most good key forwards did this.

9 goals against us, 1.6, 2.11, not exactly consistent.
