Hi Everybody
Bit premature as Danger is still playing, but who is/was the better player?
Lets not go into Cousins well publicized drug issues and just compare the two greats on how they went about it on the field. Both were quite frenetic and it seems a decent comparison for me (being biased an all).
Quick stats on accomplishments (from Wiki), some actual decent ones, some meh ones:
Dangerfield: 202 games, 232 goals as of the end of 2017.
Cousins: 270 games, 217 goals.
Danger can take a contested grab, Cousins couldn't do that. Both are considered goal kicking mids. Both could do inside and outside. Both played a very frenetic football style. What do yous think?
Im going with Cousins at this point but its hella close.
