Who would have more currency end of this year, Will Phillips or Logan McDonald?

[Rod Stroker]

Both selected in the 2020 draft, Phillips at #3, McDonald at #4.
Hypothetically, if both players were on the market end of this year, who would have more currency?

These are their career average numbers, but the numbers comparison is largely pointless given they are totally different players, inside mid versus KPF

Logan McDonald is a tall forward so he’ll always have more currency than an Inside mid.

You'd think so. Yet some on our board are adamant that North made the right call drafting Phillips over Logan.

I like Phillips.
Excluding the match where he came onto the ground as the sub, he is averaging 20 disposals & 4 clearances. I reckon he is very similar to Viney in playing style.
McDonald's going to be a player too but Phillips isn't going to be any ordinary 'inside mid'.

Logan McDonald. But Phillips has played fairly well this year and the gap is nowhere near as pronounced as it once was.
