still got the GWS orange on his face

The sooner people stop even using his name the better for all

astro_bomber · October 17, 2018, 10:02pm

Zerret, Heppell, TBell, Hooker, Daniher (when fit)
Are better than him in my books.
And based on this year I would have Smith and Zaka ahead of him

Best highlights package I’ve seen to date (including some stuff from his younger years):

Bomb_Doe · October 17, 2018, 10:06pm

Looking at Dylan’s stats he has never had the pleasure to lose to Fark Carlton at the MCG.

Dylan, that is all about to change.

Welcome Dylan. (Sorry we made you sweat and have a heart attack).

Houli_Dooley · October 17, 2018, 10:08pm

Zaka ahead of Shiel by any measure is madness.

Fxd

Paul_Peos · October 17, 2018, 10:23pm

I agree. I mean… Derr.

Although I did do some of the ol’ footywire comparisons, and they were a lot closer stats-wise than I would have thought. Even for 2017.

choppsuey · October 17, 2018, 10:27pm

Footy wire stats are pretty poo. AFL Stats Pro is much better. Over their career’s it’s not even a comparison.

Paul_Peos · October 17, 2018, 10:30pm

That wasn’t the statement made, though.

And AFL stats pro, hey? Well La De Friggin Da.

How good is this!

Bomb_Doe · October 17, 2018, 10:33pm

Comparing stats are fine up to a point. What you don’t get from them is where a player has turned a game off their own boot. Stepped up in a quarter or a half and willed themselves into a game and changed the course of it. Kicked that clutch goal or two. i.e. they are match winners.

The stats for those moments can be smaller in number, but more important in impact. The question, away from the stats, which player has proven to be better at winning matches?

Paul_Peos · October 17, 2018, 10:33pm

It’s moments like these where we REALLY miss Merv Keane.

The_Ant · October 17, 2018, 10:37pm

Goodbumps.

That’s awesome.

The_Ant · October 17, 2018, 10:38pm

I reckon we have a few.

I think his value is his constancy and his hard running.

Eagles, Richmond and Collingwood have really hard working two way midfield runners.

We have a few but Dylan is on the next level though.

RM_7 · October 17, 2018, 10:46pm

That’s was farking awesome.

Seriously, took less money to come to us and was hell bent on going.

He will be a cult hero. Put your house on it.

Tezzalenco · October 17, 2018, 10:46pm

I will take Hooker over Hurley any day of the week.

Paul_Peos · October 17, 2018, 10:49pm

Look, Shiel is a substantially better player than Zaharakis, no doubt at all.

But match winning moments might not be the best thing to compare.

Bomb_Doe · October 17, 2018, 10:51pm

yeah - winning matches isn’t everything…
