Hey.

Take your pic of these two.

Brad Ebert is underrated imo. Can go missing, and sprays the odd ball, but can also rack up a bunch of possies in no time.

Palmer is a more complete player with similar attributes. Still returning from that ACL and will probably return to be an elite midfielder.

Discuss.

Eberts underrated coz he kicks so disgracefully so everyone ignore his good aspects.
Palmer is the same except everyone remembers his first year which was good so he's rated about par.

Both need to learn how to kick before playing afl.

I to choose neither.

one of them will probably come good though.

Ebert just drops the ball too early, which causes inconsistencies in his kicking. It's a shame because every other part of his game is fine but since he was drafted the importance of being a good disposer by foot has increased 10 fold.

Palmer. Sprays the ball sometimes but still racks up the possessions and plays offensive footy.

Ebert has been kack since day 1. Really needs to turn it around. Eagles supporters would be mega pissed with how he's come on (or hasn't, for that matter).

Palmer had a brilliant first season where he won the rising star, then did his knee and his immediate comeback was poor. He is still a good footballer and has plenty of potential.

Ebert is plain rubbish.

No contest.

Even when Palmer won the rising star he couldn't kick it's just he had no competition. Both Palmer and Ebert can rack it up but both players disposal is abysmal. Both will not be in the AFL in 5 years.

I will bet you a gazillion dollars Palmer is playing AFL footy in five years.

Rioli says hi.

Palmer averaged something like 23 disposals that year as a genuine midfielder. Worthy winner, and still used it well enough imo.

Has been poor since cos he doesn't win the ball anymore/injuries.
