Opinion Non-Crows AFL 10

[Scorpus]

Well, Rankine is clearly our elite, goal kicking midfielder, but I wasn’t allowed him… anyway, this whole discussion is weird.

He's right though, Dawson and Rankine don't play like Sheezel.

Rankine is classy ball user and goal kicker, Dawson is a tall elite ball user, but neither can accumulate like Sheezel while maintaining their class

Our midfield would be unbelievable with Sheezel in it and he's exactly the type we need to complement what we've got

Can someone please explain how this BT moron still has a job..

He’s fxxkn terrible

Apparently his channel 7 mate executive was sacked, so hopefully not for much longer...

He was voted second best commentator in the afl survey

Rankine is a line breaking, goal kicking and highly skilled midfielder that can win his team a game in a half of footy. He’s still getting his 25-30 touches and killing opposition with it. Sheezel is that goal kicking mid for North, but obviously doesn’t have the speed of Rankine (not many do).

If you’re comparing the roles they play, how are they not the same?

Sheezel could be a top 10 player in the comp, Rankine can be top 3 (and was for a fair period this year already before injury).

Im biased but I'd take Rankine over Sheezel all day long.

Rankine has elite pace, skills and goal sense.... Those traits are extremely hard to fine.

Has to know something about foity to play 200 games with the body of a 15 year old.



I can see Lachie Murphy being in the coaching system once retired. Hopefully 2025.

This is one of the many things wrong with AFL. How on earth can this be Hawthorn’s 3rd game in 18 years in Geelong?

Both are elite, but as I said, Rankine can be a top 3 player in the comp, Sheezel a top 10-20. Hopefully we can draft another type of mid with that quality this year.

Kinda funny, early in 2017 he played his best AFL game vs Hawthorn.

Rankine is one of the best players in the league. Arguably top 3. Which is an amazing feeling because he plays for us. But Sheezel is nothing like Rankine in the way he plays. What I said was that a Sheezel type mid is the exact midfielder I think we need.

I had to check twice when I saw the Hawks were actually playing in Geelong! I guess that’s what happens when you finish bottom few a couple of years in a row

Well Rankine has only ever had 30 disposals once. He just doesn't get as much of the ball as Sheezel, which is fine.

If we had a ball winner like him of that class, no one would be complaining about our midfield mix

Have you not watched him play ??

I don't think anyone is suggesting replacing Rankine with Sheezel

We need to add a Sheezel type to our midfield, to replace the Laird/Crouch/Berry types

Soligo when he has fully build his tank? Both have footy smart and not slow in the first 10-15m, is only averaging 70-75% TOG right now.

No sporting franchise has ever done well based on the Gold Coast.

I'd give Dimma more than half a season to sort them out.

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Don't get me wrong I'd love a Sheezel type mid for our team 100%

I was just saying as a pure player V player comparison (IE could only take one) - I'd still take Rankine

More midfield class we can get the better.... Hoping that gets fixed (somewhat) this draft!

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Hardwick has always gone on about how much he hates Marvel. I reckon that attitude rubs off onto the players too.

It's got to be the new Kennett curse. A stat through the week said Hardwick hasn't won a game at Marvel since he made that infamous comment.

Pendlebury/Steve Johnson.

GCS play Port Power next week, they either rebound strongly from this loss or start their 2nd half slide down the ladder like they usually do.
