Michael Jordan v Folau and Hunt

McRooster · June 10, 2010, 10:21:03 PM

Michael Jordan didn't make it as a baseballer in comparison to the heights he reached as the world's greatest basketballer.
What makes anyone think that Israel Folau or Karmichael Hunt wont evolve into exactly the same disappointment?
Both are young and talented enough to return to their given discipline once Demetriou is done with them.
Paul Roos is happy with Folau, citing over the next 12 months as AFL interest grows in GWS there's an opportunity for the Swans to JUMP ON!

Contenders or Pretenders?

Not sure yet. We'll see on the weekend when Hunt finally takes the field. Might be pretty amusing at first ;D.

Inglis would gun it if he come to Essendon 8).

They are a lot younger than Jordan was when he turned to baseball. Jordan also only played lower leagues (AAA I think) and was never an option for the majors.

people in the know are saying he could possibly be a better AFL player than he was NRL which I doubt but if he's close he'll be damn good.
