Comparisons thread

[North Melbournes Finest]

In no way am I saying that these players will necessarily turn out as good as or better than the players I'm comparing them to but it's encouraging :)

I just think they're a 4 brightest stars and that they've had some similar seasons at the same age to a lot of the greats. Bit of fun, test some out yourself.

[roo boys!]

That's very interesting. Imagine if those players all turned out as good as the stars you listed :o

Unfortunately they won't ALL turn out like that, but if just a few do then that would still be great!

I used that comparison tool to see that a 23 year old Hansen had better stats than an 18 year old Gary Ablett Jnr ;D

I believe if Goldstein improved his marking to an elite level he'd be just as good as prime Cox which is amazing. We better resign Goldy, he's a boss. I feel bad because I when I went to games a few years ago I thought he was a dud, he was used to sparingly and was running along the boundary for 80% of the game I swore it looked like.
