The Big 5

[sainter58]

In order who is the best big CHF in the game out of these 5 players.

1. BROWN
2. FRANKLIN
3. REIWOLDT
4. LUCAS
5..TREDRAE

That is my order as i think Franklin has been the big improver and can easy become the best CHF in the afl.

[Oh When the Saints]

Franklin doesn't play CHF.

He plays from the square and leads up to 60m.

Completely different role to Riewoldt.

The players who play like Riewoldt are:

"True CHF": Riewoldt, (StK), Hansen (WC), Lucas (ESS), Cloke (COLL), N. Ablett (GEEL), Richardson (RICH)

"Hybrid CHF": Pavlich (FRE), Brown (BL), Franklin (HAW), Tredrea (PA), Hall (SYD), Lynch (WCE)

"True FF": Fevola (CARL), Gehrig (StK), Lloyd (ESS)


You might dispute a couple of names, but there are different types of forwards.

Jonothan Brown never kicked more than 35 goals in a year with Alistair Lynch playing ... Riewoldt kicked 60 twice with Gehrig playing.

Now that G has gone, Riewoldt may well play the Pavlich/Brown/Franklin role ...

But to this point in his career, Riewoldt has been a very different player, and is comparable to blokes like Hansen, Cloke, Lucas and Richo in the way he plays.

IMHO.

[ausfatcat]

[woooosaints]

[SaintBot]

nathan ablett plays in the square

cam mooney does

[The_Dud]

comparing those 5 is like trying to compare Judd, Scarlett, Cox, Brown and G Ablett

they all play different positions and different roles in their teams

[Teflon]

Franklin plays a lot deeper than Riewoldt and is virtually from the square. When we played them he was always inside fwd 50.
