Only 3 rounds gone...and keep in mind that Buddy hasn't played a half decent game yet. By end of year I guess Buddy average higher than Richo...also, at Richos age wouldn't be surprised if he picks up an injury somewhere along the way.

its interesting question, you have to think the tigers will start winning eventually (at least next week) and richo is averaging good numbers in a losing side! franklin has been averaging well average numbers in side that has at least been closer to winning than tigers. IMO roughead is the pick for the moment and when hawthorn gets its ripper players grab buddy when he is basement prices. Richo is always trying though bless his soul. ahaha

Richo will hamstring any time now. Franklin always. IF you were about to enter a finals campaign though, and you wanted to try your luck, richo for 4 weeks isn't that big a risk, but over a whole season you're asking for trouble.

definately Richo, buddy doesn't get anywhere near as much possies richo gets and with roughie being the main fwd now in hawks forward line franklin is not going to kick as many goals as he did last year and richo is getting better every year.

I believe that it will all depend on how the teams are going in the next few weeks... evem though richo has been getting better scores than franklin... but Buddy has not yet hit his straps from last year. He will be better in my opinion and this is because he is younger and can hopefully go through the season injury free while richo is a few years older and is starting to let the game catch up to him.... ;D

few years, you mean 9 years you idiot geelongjop

If Roughy is the main fwd now at Hawthorn, why is Buddy still leading the Coleman after 4 rounds?
We won a premiership last year with Franklin kicking a ton and Roughy 70 odd.
Would have thought you'd stick to a combination that got you a flag.
Franklin over Richo for me.
If Richo was 5 years younger it may be a different arguement.
