AFLW AFLW Players -v- AFL Players Comparison: Who is their counterpart?

[Zouz Kitty]

After our inaugural AFLW game + historic win last night, thought we might have a bit of fun comparing AFL + AFLW counterpart players by position. Or to discuss/compare our AFLW Players with past Geelong players.

As an example BlakeyNoFlakey + I thought we saw a bit of Scarlo about Meg McDonald.

Today, I've been considering which player Morrison is most like. . .Selwood? Dangerfield? Dusty? Fyfe? Sloane?

To refresh memories:
AFLW Round 1 Team
B: 40. Anna Teague, 44. Bec Goring, 4. Cassie Blakeway
HB: 28. Denby Taylor, 11. Meghan McDonald, 21. Becky Webster
C: 12. Renee Garing
HF: 27. Sophie Van De Heuvel, 26. Maddie Boyd, 9. Nina Morrison
F: 8. Kate Darby, 23. Phoebe McWilliams, 5. Jordan Ivey
R: 14. Aasta O’Connor, 6. Julia Crockett-Grills, 16. Olivia Purcell
I/C: 45. Maddy Keryk, 2, Danielle Orr, 24. Maddy McMahon, 13. Maighan Fogas, 7. Mia-Rae Clifford
Emerg: 10. Georgie Rankin, 1. Rene Caris

Who do you think, Geelong AFLW's counterpart is from Geelong AFL?

I have heard Morrison described as Fyfe like ..do they mean visually? From the little I saw she seemed to be a ground player with a good side step. I think we need to see them more to get a good handle on the comparisons..

Rocky Cranston is similar to Danger.

 

[Max Milburn]

Let's hope none of them look like Lingy.

I'm not so sure about the appearance TC, in the AFLW Rd1 thread, someone posted a pic of Nina + Buzza, which, when looking at their hair, makes them more alike.

For the purposes of this thread, I hadn't considered similar appearance comparisons, but that would be great fun!

Ha! Do you remember when Nicole Dodds was on the AFL Footy Show a few years ago + defended criticism of Ling's appearance? She was so sweet! Just adores him!

But, I'm with you Max, no Ling look-alikes please!

Don't remember that.
He's no oil painting, but we all love him.

 

[Max Milburn]

Is Purcell the AFLW's Max Rooke?

Is Purcell the AFLW's Max Rooke?

I'll have to watch her more in future games. Although Purcell was mentioned by some, I only noticed a couple of her Disposals, so I'm not qualified to say. I was mesmerised by Morrison, Boyd, McMahon, Orr, McDonald + Clifford lol

 

[Vdubs]

Renee Garing
Maybe an uninjured Scooter.
Second and third efforts+++

Got the wrong brother - I'd say she's more like Joel.

The 39yr old women playing for the pies made Ling look like a super model

Renee Garing surprised me a pretty girl but tough as nails

 

[Spazz Cat]

Obviously Mcdonald has to be Scarlett.
Nina Morrison reminds me of a younger version of the main chick out of Wentworth.
She is pretty good looking.

Cecilia McIntosh?

There were a couple of Pies AFLW players who were Dane Swan doppelgängers
