What other, more qualified, people have said (not claiming this as my own opinion):

Gibbs: Moves like Hird, plays like Buckley
Gumbleton: Stewert Loewe
Hansen: Defensive version of Nick Riewoldt perhaps
Thorp: Pavlich?
Luenburger: Dean Cox
Proud: Lesser version of Marc Murphy
Sellar: Superior version of Josh Fraser yet smaller
Riewoldt: Lesser version of Nick Riewoldt
Selwood: Inside version of Dal Santo

Remember just because they're similar in style doesn't mean they will be just as good.

Proud looks like Buckley to me so it shows what I know :D

Selwood is not as good of a kick as Nick Dal Santo.

No two players are exactly the same, which does make this thread and what I wrote earlier a bit of a joke.

I think Proud has a bit of Daniel Kerr about him.

Well some SA kids:

Gibbs - moves like Hayes but shows glimpses of Hird.
Sellar - bigger version of Lucas
Hurley - Occasionally Scott West but not that good. Bit of Kane Cornes perhaps.
Pfieffer - Dead set McQualter
Holmes - Moves like Crawford
Jacobs - More lumbering version of White
Millar - Xavier Clarke

Never like doing this because there isn't 1 AFL player now you liken to another. Pavlich is Pavlich, Riewoldt is Riewoldt, Judd is Judd etc... all have their own style.

I remember Franklin been likened to Goodes and he doesn't play anything like him.
