I get what your saying very few players to rip a game apart like Carey and its early days for Sheez. But take a look at that clip above Vs Cripps again. Watch his hand before tapping it, his footy IQ next level. The way he's going he'll be having a direct hand in probably 5 goals a game, with a combo of kicking it himself, some freak play like above or just hitting targets with those kicking skills.He's pretty good.
But it's simply not possible.
Because not even GAJ is better than Carey imo.
It's not possible for a midfielder to be as good as Carey and Ablett Snr in my opinion.
The closest time I have ever considered it might've been possible was West Coast Judd, but he didn't sustain it for his career, despite winning a Brownlow at Carlton.
You can't even use the age card.
Because what Carey was doing at 20 was probably even more impressive than what Sheez is doing as a 19 year old mid given the size and physicality of that era of key defenders.
Gaz Snr is probably the most talented footballer ever, if he didn't have a screw loose and had the competitiveness and team drive that Duck had, he could have been the undisputed #1.
Stuff like we see in that clip or the fake kick candy doesn't catch the eye as much as a Judd breaking clear of a pack or a contested mark but its the type of play that puts others in the clear.
But even if he's not, he's shaping up to be in that daylight gap between Carey and our next best player.
