The past few days Fox Sports and 7AFL have been bringing up this Duck V Buddy debate...
Can't honestly wrap my head around this, How can anyone who even knows a thing or two about footy pick Duck? This debate isn't even close
Wayne Carey was sensational no doubt, but Buddy is one of the greatest ever and he's done way more than Duck ever had. Buddy just overall has way more seasons of forward dominance and consistency. Played in more Grand Finals, and will likely become an 8 x All Australian (1 more than Duck) and his career is still far from finished. Obviously i'm somewhat biased and passionate towards Buddy, but overall, I can't see how Duck is even close. Duck had some great seasons and achieved a lot of individual awards, but overall Buddy in my opinion is the more consistent and dominant forward.
Thoughts??
