Both these young guns are incredibly strong, skillful high impact clearance beasts that can find lots of the ball and who you feel are only just getting started. LDU has been a slow burn but is still only 23 and we are now seeing why he was selected at pick 4 in the 2017 national draft, while the 20 year old Newcombe has exploded on the scene and was unbelievably a mid-season draft choice in 2021. He could very well win the rising star.
Both ranked up 30 touches each the last time Hawthorn played North but IMO Newcombe was comfortably the better player that day.
