Daniel Talia vs Eric Mackenzie

[Ashton Agar]

lol

Hooker definitely better...

Most intercept marks last season. Would probably be leading again. I have to admit I didn't used to rate him, but he is one of our most important players now.

So he's similar to Jack Watts?

Watts shouldn't be mentioned in the same essay as Hooker.

This while playing on the #1 or 2 KPF all season. His opponent averaged 1 goal/game.

Hooker as well is better than Talia. Rory Thompson is a gun as well.


I agree Talia ain't a bad player and will get better, but not top 10.

Not sure about that..........

 

[Bailey01]

Bump.....
Thoughts now
Both have been extremely consistent and should be rewarded with all australian selection but I just have a feeling that one will miss it.

Eric is a better all round player. Can debate to you are blue in the face over who's a better lock down defender.

 

[Vindicater]

Talia for mine.

It is damn close however.

 

[Big Trozza]

Talia. Best lock down in the comp easily

 

[Shaneprice97]

This is very very close, when i see a player line up on Talia, i only expect them to kick 1-2 goals max, has he ever had a bag kicked on him?

Mackenzie, so underrated, provides good rebounding while being very good defensively.
I still think of Rougheads 8 goals against WCE though, i doubt all 8 were on him though.

Good poll.

Talia, Mckenzie and Hooker are easily the best three young backmen in the league IMO.

Hard to split to be honest. If i had to pick, i would go purely for lockdown, and my gut says Mckenzie.

To be honest, i would only classify Talia as young, and Hooker and Mackenzie as middle aged.

Yeah, good call, i didn't realize McKenzie was 26. He is in his prime.

So on that basis i reserve the right to change my vote to Talia.
