Warlord V JHF

[Bucking Bronco]

3 seconds flat is far from the 50th percentile.

Phoenix Gothard ran a 3 second flat at the last combine and was in the 84% percentile.

Im purely stating the Combine results from last year as I have them in front of me.

Oscar Ryan ran a 3 flat which is what Petracca ran and was in the top 25%.

It fluctuates year to year, even down to the testing range's of the equipment calibration.

Tough call. JHF does the flashy stuff very well. Plays a bit like Petracca and Wardlaw like Oliver.

Warlord looks more impressive at the same age as JH-F

One worry/knock on him is that he seems a bit injury prone, where as JH-F seems very durable and got body/frame that seems to be able to sustain a lot of hits and bumps.

He is a bit more athletic/zippy version of Nathan Buckley.

You would be bloody happy with either though

Probably worth noting Wardlaws TOG% isn't great yet. Definitely has a lot of room for improvement.

Wardlaw. Better player and less of a pea-heart.

Anyone who’s seen young JHF play would know that’s an ignorant comment.

Edit: silly me, just checked your post history. Look I get it. I do. He’s a player you didn’t want to lose. We wouldn’t want to lose him either.

But grow up FFS. And get over your loss and look forward rather than silly troll posts.

Who are you, his mother? Good grief - someone buy Festerz a diary this Christmas.

JHF’s ability to have an impact as a forward has him ahead of Wardlaw for mine

If they had that sport vs sport athlete challenge from a decade or so ago, GW would be the AFL's #1 pick you'd put up against someone like Billy Slater (and he's still only 19 years old) Slater was a cyborg athlete in most categories.

lol this is pretty laughable

Why is that?

JHF way more dynamic and versatile. Wardlaw has unfortunately reached a level of hype that he may not live up to at this stage. No need to add pressure onto wardlaw, for a 22 gamer I think north fans already have put enough pressure on his shoulders.

As another poster said before wardlaw has the higher floor - even if he doesn't show much improvement he's still a consistently decent AFL standard mid, whereas JFH performance can fluctuate more wildly (for better or worse).

Whilst he's obviously shown some promise, Warlaw also lacks endurance, goes to ground too often and isn't a great ball user. Plenty of time to work on those aspects of his game.

I'd prefer JHF in my team overall right now as I'm unsure if wardlaw will actually make the grade as an elite player, whereas JHF is almost there already (perhaps fluctuates between elite/average)

Why is that?

the 20 year old who can't run out 4 quarters is the best athlete in the comp? pass the joint son

It depends on what your definition of “best athlete” is.

In terms of most of the categories he's absolutely elite.

He ran a 600 yoyo in his draft combine which is above average. His TOG and the amount of pressure and the sheer amount of contested poss/defensive efforts for his age, certainly isn't anything like "cant run out 4 quarters"

Speaking of joints....

I think Hawthorn need JHF more than we would Wardlaw.

That X-factor Mid/forward is what we are lacking moreso than a contested bull.

Would be happy with either but I'd go the Hornet.
