Luke Dahlhaus Devon Smith Lets get this over and done with tonight, I have to be on a plane at 6 and most likely wont be back on until 4, and that's with limited Internet.

Reckon my defense and forwards are better, though.
I wouldn't mind your defence if it wasn't 50% makeshift defenders. I'm not even sure how MacRae, Wines, Prestia, Whitfield, Crouch (Miles, Viney, Coniglio) is even close to O'Meara, Heppell, Treloar, Liberatore, Swallow (Tyson, Shiel, Hill) O'Meara > Whitfield Treloar > MacRae Swallow > Wines Heppell > Crouch Liberatore > Prestia Tyson > Miles Shiel > Coniglio Hill = Viney 7.5 v 0.5 imo
Conca to play a similar role to Atley. Tomlinson 3rd kpd. Ellis probably the only one, but he's played back before. Prefer Wines to Swallow, Miles to Tyson, Viney to Hill and Prestia and Libba are on par. 3.5 to 4.5.
Statistically Wines and Swallow are pretty similar. About as identical as two players could conceivably be, really. small gaps in different areas which cancel each other out mainly. But I don't know how after watching both one couldn't prefer Swallow. Just genuine class, inside and out. Wines doesn't have class, just strength. Miles v Tyson - Miles slightly statistically better but there's a reason GWS cbfd with him and it took him ages to get a look in at Richmond. He's a low impact accumulator. Tyson's a high impact inside/out mid. It's like saying Boak or Boyd. Boyd's numbers are better but Boak's clearly a better player The one I don't get is Prestia/Libba. Libba probably should have been AA last year and probably will be this year. Prestia's an outside leaning accumulator with very questionable disposal for someone who'd be considered 'elite' - Liberatore's efficiency is 5% better despite having a considerably higher spread of contested possessions than Prestia. He's quite possibly the best clearance player around. Prestia's just a good honest accumulator with not much of a hurt factor. That's the one I really don't get. There aren't many mids in the comp I'd take ahead of Liberatore. Prestia's well below him imo. Viney/Hill not going to argue it. One is unable to win his own ball the other is unable to use the ball. Both fundamentally flawed players so it's all about whether you prefer inside grunt or outside run. But I'd be very curious as to what others thought on Swallow/Wines, Miles/Tyson and Prestia/Libba Should make a thread in the polls board on BF Reframe, see what they think lol.
Prefer Wines to Swallow simply because how he can impact a game. When the ball is in the hands of Wines during crunch time, he performs extremely well. Swallow doesn't seem to be an extremely high impact player for mine. There's a reason Wines is the most-compared young player on the bf polls board, I'll add as well. Miles - Ill admit, I haven't seen a heap of him. Not sure whether this is due to him being a massive accumulator/low impact player or not, but he just seems to do everything right. Tyson still has a few flaws that I can't pinpoint. Of course Miles does too, but he just seems a tad more polished. Prestia isn't as good a player as Libba no doubt. Again, though, Prestia oozes x-factor and outside run. Not only does he have that something special about him, he just does everything right too. Knows where the goals are, hits targets, has very good outside run - love him. That makes them equal IMO. Would be interesting to see what bf thinks, actually. No doubt you'll copy and paste parts of that post though and convince people otherwise.
