Taberner vs Darling - Who's Better?

[ShriekingShack]

I hate to say it as an Eagles fan, but I think he has overtaken Darling in terms of his career.

Takes more marks, kicks more goals and is now more mobile. They are only 1 year apart, so it is a fair comparison.

Who do you think is better?

Yeah mate I'm Taberner's biggest backer on here but he's not in the same realm as Darling.

Nailed it.

Taberner far superior. Looks like he'll only increase the gap 2021 and beyond.

 

[Brunswick Trap King]

Good thread. Taberner and it's not even close.

Taberner is 27 geese, thought he was 22. Average career Darling much better

Typical West Coast fan overrating their own players.

You've obviously missed the big M Tab take 13 marks and kick 3 against eventual Grand Finalists GWS in 2019?

Both are time bombs when it comes to brain fades.

Over their careers Darling has been better, it's not a comparison.
Darling has also been second fiddle to Kennedy his entire career, Taberner's been the main man at Freo for the most part.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

As far as attempted Pavlich replacements go, Taberner has certainly been one of them.

 

[kane249]

Darling turns 29 this year
215 games, 410 goals

Taberner turns 28 this year
88 games, 107 goals

Yeah it's a close one

Yeah it's a close one

What it doesn't show you is the influence Taberner has had on games, for example Taberner has never dropped absolute sitters in a Grand Final. Stats only mean so much, 60% of them are made up anyway, everyone knows that.

Taberner > Darling

 

[DanWA]

Tabener is in his 9th year of solid development as the Pavlich replacement

Tabener > Darling

 

[AFDogs]

Darling easily?

 

[cznsnowy91]

Darling is way better than Taberner

Anthony averaged 1.6 goals a game over his career, while Hogan averages 1.9 goals. A clear win to Hogan you would think, but that doesn't take into account the cost in draft picks.

In short, Chris Tarrant

No love for Scott Gumbleton, Cameron McCarthy or Shane Kersten?

I love all Freo key forwards.

 

[BarbieITFC]

Wow - four hours in and no mod has realised this a pathetic troll by WC fans - can we lock it or put into the Bay where it belongs.

 

[HAPPY BUDDHA]

Taberner for sure but how could you not excel in an entire squad of turkeys?

Bloody hell even a fugly, man-bun wearing, head like a dropped pie, clown looking campaigner like Fyfe struts like a Victoria’s Secret model in that gaggle of web footed geese.

He's a surfer, you wouldn't get it

I use to luv when freo supporters spouted Rhys Palmer was better than Judd and Cousins

yes they were serious

McCarthy was great until he got Cockburn'd

 

[Piggy Smalls]

No. This is 27 geese:

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

McCarthy was great until he got Cockburn'd

No not really. His career was put on Ice after he quit GWS, but he never showed much at The Giants anyways. And to think many Bluebaggers wanted us to draft him over Cripps lol

Candidate for this thread?

Before. Fremantled. After.
