Crawford vs Simpson.

[dipper86]

Who was and is the better player and or captain.

 

[Bring-Back-Powell]

Hey Dipper86,

Simpson has Crawford covered.

 

[dipper86]

Hey Dipper86,

Simpson has Crawford covered.

Care to elaborate why? don't be timid..

 

[Bring-Back-Powell]

Care to elaborate why?

OK on a serious note.

Crawford better player...by miles
Simpson better captain...by miles.

Simpson would sell off his left nut if it helps his beloved Kangaroos in any way.

I just don't see that passion in Crawf.

I don't think Crawford bleeds gold and brown? Do you?

 

[giantroo]

Care to elaborate why?

Care to elaborate why you are comparing a guy who has won 2 premierships and a guy whos won a brownlow?

Just say 2 premiership beats personal achievement.

 

[The Grover]

The only opinion I have is on the playing side Crawford has been & still is a better player.

Hmm, nice logic that would mean Blake Caracella a better player than Crawford, West, and Buckley.

Yeh i do think he bleeds the Brown and Gold, what gives you the impression he doesn't ?

 

[Yashek]

Simpson is a very good, solid player.

Crawford has been an out and out champion. His idiocy on the footy show makes people forget, I reckon, just how good he has been. One of the best three or four midfielders of the past ten years, without a doubt

Matryn Pike has 4 flags. guess he's better than Carey

 

[douls]

Kade Simpson isn't captain yet, this is crazy

 

[dipper86]

Damn. Good work

 

[Bring-Back-Powell]

Dunno.

More worried about other things in life....ie - horses, modelling, documentaries etc...

If someone said to Crawf, "You can't play for Hawthorn anymore", he'd happily move onto the next venture with minimal fuss.

Are you a ****ing clown or what?

Martyn Pike >>>>>>>>>>> Buckley, yeah?

Dip****, you know Crawfords ****s all over Simpson so you have to bring team success into it.

You're a clown

I'd rather Crawford lead my team than Adam 'Cant kick a drop punt' Simpson. He's kicking is 10x worse than Paul Licuria's and yet he doesnt work half as hard as Crawf or Lica.

I really like Crawford - and think he has been a gun - but no way he is in the top 3 or 4 midfielders of the last 10 years.

Wouldn't be in the top 10

But thats Crawf isn't it??? head strong and aware that nothing lasts forever, he looks to have that complete balance in life. Crawford has played trained as hard or if not more than any other player or captain out there, he's an individual and he speaks his mind, he has many things outside footy but there is no question that football isn't his number one love, there is no way you can survive in the AFL for so long without loving the game or the club you play for.

Even when the club was in shambles at the end of 2004 and he disagreed with the hierachy knowing fully he might not have the chance to play in a premiership, he stayed and pledged his support.

In many games captaining the Hawks he was our soul focus the only star , copping accolades along the way and also the full force of the negative press as the face of Hawthorn.

He trained like he played, a role model for all youngsters one of the best prepared footballers of his time.

He is 100% Hawthorn.

So Stephen Armstrong is better than Carwf aswell

Give me the ten that are better then Zebra.

 

[dipper86]

Give me the ten that are better then Zebra.

I'll have a go.

Harvey, Buckley, Cousins, Judd, Prosciutto, West, Voss, Black, (Maybe Mcloud) Bradley (Maybe but he was coming to the end of his career.)

hmmmm who else?

 

[DapperDon]

Isn't Hawthorns captain Richie V, stop trying to deflect the shyte captain onto North

Archer >>>>> Buckley!


Once again you play to win the ultimate prize not the baby prize.

 

[giantroo]

Face the logic. You play to win the ultimate prize not the baby prize. Never said any other player than what was asked. And that was Simmo. Thats my opinion.

i.e. sydney supporters, remember the grandfinal of 06 and seeing Goodes in tears. Tell me which is important? Brownlow or GF.


At the end of the day the player who puts hardwork and works with their teammates will win what he is after.

Archer!
