Tom Liberatore vs Tom Rockliff

[ManOfClay]

Im just across the water then!

I'm sorry to hear that.

I'm down south near the Vic border now, much better country.

Liberatore behind after round 1. Rockliff tagged Sam for the whole game and kept him to 21 disposals, while picking up 19 and kicking 3 goals. Liberatore was rather unimpressive with his 27 disposals. Didn't look dangerous.

This isn't a game by game comparison thread. One game doesn't make either player better than the other.

I don't see why someone can't have a running commentary, it would be a very slow and uneventful footy forum if we couldn't remark on the latest round of footy and how players performed. Nothing wrong with what I am doing. Feel free to give your opinion of how Lieratore went.

There is not much right in what you are doing given the context of the thread. You can measure your dick after each game but the rest of us would look at the big picture.

Rockliff won this round. Libba wasn't as good although he had more possessions. I feel as though I underrate Rockliff although I'm sticking with my initial choice for now in Liberatore.

He wont win next round, rubbed out for a tap

 

[ManOfClay]

Liberatore automatically wins then for both opening rounds as he is a fair player not a thug.

See what I did there?

Nope

If we want to turn this into a round by round dick measuring contest then we could just use any means to judge them to suit our arguments.

Libba is going to cop a lot of attention this year, teams have realized they have to put a pretty hard tag on him otherwise he is just too dangerous, Griffen back will help a lot though. Guys like Macrae and Stevens stepping up will too, and also a better performance from Cooney (he was pathetic on Sunday)

 

[Dom PC]

Libba wins Rd 2 by default. I will still watch his performance this week with intrigue though.

Excuse me while I get my tape measure.

Rockliff wins this Rd BOG with GAJ; Rockliff had - 35 disposals @ 75%, 14 contested, 3 goals, 11 marks, 5 tackles, 5 inside 50s and 5 clearances. Rockliff up 2-1 this year so far...

 

[ManOfClay]

I'd take Liberatore's performance in an upset win, thanks.

BTW still think bumping this thread round by round looking to dick measure is sad.

What is the big deal?

Libba did play well, but Rockliff is just everywhere in games and is the more damaging with the greater goal threat.

Libba automaticly gains a 50% increase in his score because he plays in Victoria, silly.

 

[Wild Bill]

These 2 are as exciting as it gets for young players. If this thread is dominated by Dogs and Bris supporters putting either of these two down it is a disgrace. Flip a coin right now - no argument for either would give me a preference as to who I would want in my side.

It's the next Pendlebury v Selwood debate.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Racking up stats in a bad loss compared to pulling your team over the line in an underdog win...let's call it a draw.

To be fair he was trying to win us the game. Just got no help.

 

[MiloStedman]

As the all-round player, Rockliff. Was a star in a well-beaten team yesterday.

As a clearance machine and pure midfielder, Libba.

By your logic all 22 players on a losing team must have performed worse than all the players 22 that won.

 

[AjsGuns]

Both fantastic players and a great poll - I'd still take Libba over Rocky for our midfield. Will be very exciting watching Libba and Macrae for the next 10 years.

 

[Dom PC]

Pretty confident that Rockliff is ahead at this stage of the season. Libba went missing for most of today's game. Rocky has been a machine and the better all round player after 5 rounds.
