The article in today’s age having Josh Kennedy as the second best KPF behind Buddy recruited since 2004.
Has listed Jack as 4th best behind Buddy (correctly), Kennedy (wrong), Hawkins (definitely wrong) then Jack.
Jack is a year younger than Kennedy, recruited a year later yet has played more games (26), kicked more goals (25) and won more premierships, they kick on average the same number of goals per game (2.5 to 2.4 for Jack) - yet Kennedys claim to fame is kicking 3 premiership goals against the Pies (hmm how many Premiership goals has Jack kicked - I recall he got a bag in one flag didn’t he) - just another example of underrating a current tiger great.
Jack and Hawkins recruited the same year, played virtually the same number of games (Jack has played 6 more yet Jack has kicked 64 more goals) yet, yet, yet they reckon Hawkins is the better player…. wtf
Can’t they see what they write is sometimes just bs.
The player concerned isn’t Patrick Cripps, despite the co-captain’s mastery of the stoppages in his eight seasons in the AFL. Not the flint-hard Andrew McKay, who captained the club and was a defensive bull.
