He will be once he learns how to kick straight and get rid of that horrible arc.Fevola Kicked 99 goals and 51 points to Buddys 102 goals 84 points..Franklin could kick in excess of 150 goals in a season if he could kick straight.. that's a scary thought..You are biased. He's an arrogant sack of sh*t and the single target up front for the Blues. Fev would struggle to kick 50 in a team with multiple scoring options in the forward line. Far from remarkable. He's a straight kick, but no more than a bloke like Medhurst.Fev has a better conversion rate that Franklin, but that doesn't make him better. "Franklin isn't that good yer" is lunacy. He'll pole an absolute swag of brownlow votes, in a game where most had written off the big full forward as history within the game. Franklin is a freak of nature and 10 times the player Fevola could ever dream to be. He's big, agile, athletic and a team player. He speaks well and is clearly about getting the job done for the team, whereas Fevola is out for himself and ONLY himself. On and off the field I dare say. While Fevola is at the blues, they'll never make a grand final. Great midfield down there, but when you have a cancer like him in the team, you're doomed.Franklin = champion & ambassador for the sport.Fevola = blight on the game.

So I guess we'll have to agree to disagree... Im a long time Carlton supporter, and I agree that his antics and attitude are somestimes shocking, but what can you do?? He kicks goals and last time I checked that's what full fowards are meant to do, hes exciting to watch, and kicks a bag nearly every second week.I agree, unless the blues find more goal kickers we wont win a flag, but I dont think that Fev is the reason why they wont..Is buddy a better player? IMO he is, if he kicked straight he'd be unbeatable...For me Ablett Jr best player goin round, pencil him in for the brownlow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full forwards are indeed supposed to kick goals, but FOOTBALL is about TEAM. He passes on one element, but fails miserably on the other. Good on you for sticking up for the fool though. Re. the flag. Fev demanded so much of your salary cap, you'll struggle to find any depth. Your good midfielders will disappear in time too, as they're in it for a living also. I hope you enjoy watching Fev kick goals, as that'll be the highlight for the next few years. Carlton may as well play for "Fev kicking 100".Who can beat Buddy at the moment? I reckon he's already unbeatable. Good bloke too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put all the pressure he has on yourself and see how you come out!!! To kick 99 goals in a season is bloody good!!! Theres no point in arguing that fact!!! Franklin is not 10 times the player of fev what a load of crap!!! Fev has a MUCH better mark then franklin, fev is quicker then him off the mark!! Franklin is better off the ground, and makes something out of nothing all the time. Franklin is a better players, but not by that much. I would like to see the inside 50 stats of each team, I gaurentee hawthorn sh*t all over carlton!! Just my thoughts, both players are great players, but fev doesn't deserve what I am hearing in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course Carlton need another Key forward to share the load, Doesn't every other team with a Key forward? Hawthorn has those players in Cyrill Rioli and Jarryd Roughhead. The only other player like that for Carlton is Eddie Bets. I can agree that over the last few years Fevola has more so been about himself, But I personally think that this year he has changed into a more team player, If you watched some more Carlton games you might notice how he gives off more.Also, What I meant by Franklin is not that good yet is that he has so much potential to improve. (ie improve his accuracy).Don't have a dig at us standing up for Fevola, Because your doing the same for Franklin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
