You cannot state simply that one player's kicks are more defendable than another until you see the outcome those kicks. Luke Parker will bomb it of of the centre often only to see it cut off and the defender clearing the ball, Josh Kennedy will often look for the short kick whilst under pressure. It depends on the situation and what options are available.
Once opposition teams do their homework and figure out how to defend Chad he will it harder to get that space.
No I'm not renewing my membership because of "Chadmania" - I'm renewing it because I want to see a group players develop and take the next steps to get us a premiership.
FWIW - I'm of the opinion that Rowbottom once he has bulked up a bit more, he will become our next Luke Parker, in and under getting the ball out to the Chad's as well as giving them the space to demonstrate their talents. You cannot simply compare them as their roles are different.
Lastly, who would I want in the trenches with me? Easy - Jimmy Rowbottom, he will do what is asked of him and won't get you killed trying the flashy stuff.
PS - The truth is starting to come out about MJ he may have been a brilliant player, but he was also an arsehole.
