What about Gill vs Perrie, folks?
Gill not fit to pull Pez's socks down
Crouch looks pretty agile to me. Just rolls around contested situations like he's waltzing.
Read the posts above before you post. At the same age it doesn't matter. Rhys Palmer and Daniel rich are better than both at 19...so I guess they have Dangerfield covered
Doesnt it?
Oh ok then.
I thought it was Crouch's first year in the AFL. For **** sake give the kid a few years to develop before you compare him to our best player.

This makes no sense at all. You're asking who will be the better player, yet expect people to make that decision based on one player being in their first year of AFL football, with the other being far ahead on his development track. Obviously right now, Dangerfield is the better player, but he may not be once Crouch hits 23 years of age and has 4-5 years of AFL experience under his belt. On the other side of your Rhys Palmer/Daniel Rich argument, there is Chris Judd, who was excellent as a 19 year old, and then went on to win a Brownlow medal 2 years later.
I posted this earlier today in the Betts thread (shortly after it went off-topic):
I can't think that we've ever had a first year mid play like this; just saying i will be elite, and you better get ready to compare me to players who've come before and not just this generation.
Crouch has champion stamped all over him. And to think the price we paid was very high, but not unbeatable
A few clubs might regret not getting involved in that auction. JAG for #4 Crouch for #10 & #11(ish)
You'd get laughed out the room if either club was offered the original purchase price now

When are Danger and Crouch playing against each other?
Band 1 and 2 compensation picks activated during the expansion drafts reverted to after first round picks, so we didn't give up pick 11. Had we kept the pick, and activated it last year (a pretty likely scenario), it would have been pick 21.

Hopefully not ever
I think that trying to compare these two is stupid. I say that because both are still young and Crouch is only in his first year. For the time been lets just be satisfied that we have two bloody good players on our books. Well we have a few at the moment I don't want to upset Sloane and others. Having said that I think that Grigg is going to be considered in the same breath as both Crouch and Danger. Grigg to me is going to be classy, smooth. Stays on his feet, creates room to move and disposes of the ball magnificently. Its like we have a Roo, a Macca and an Edwards.
I think Crouch will end up the better player. Though Dangerfield will be the entertaining to watch.
Mostly I'm just hoping neither suffer major injuries.

Sheedys words were pretty loud mid year when he questioned why clubs wouldn't trade for those mini draft picks ( he was asking for established players) and seeing the ability both of these kids have already, he looks justified.
I'm guessing the debate on why we didn't take Ben Kennedy with the mini draft pick has been put to bed now as well

Lol good call on the avatar
I've seen a lot of football, and when a player has a good first year, people start predicting the best player ever. Just bookmark this thread and we will revisit it in the next couple of years. Crouch will never be as good as Dangerfield, Dangerfield is a once in a generation player.
Do people realize he gets tagged every week for the whole season? Yet we say sloane, Douglas and crouch had better second halves of the season? If any of those three got tagged they would have little to no influence, whilst the number 32 deals with it every week
Good luck to you all jumping off the Dangerfield wagon so early lol, I'll make sure to quote your posts next year
Crouch always seems to naturally find him in the right positions and his decision making and handballing in traffic is elite. I would never jump off the danger wagon he is a once in a generation player but I think you will find in a few years that we have two 'once' in a generation footballers. Danger gets tagged, Crouch will be the type of player that is un-taggable. He gets the majority of his possessions in an under and even good taggers like Crowley cant stop a quick handball out to a running player.
Once we can get a consistent midfield of Crouch, Danger, Sloane, Smith, Grigg we will have all of the weapons to be a very dangerous side. Add a fit Tex and possibly Betts and maybe Polec we could see some significant improvement next year.

I'm thinking that was his point? That comparing them at this stage is also irrelevant.

Is Crouch better than Wines and Wingard?

I wouldn't take wines over him, but I'd consider wingard.
