Cross vs Swan

[Houli2Gumbleton]

Who would you take?

 

[cyrilfan87]

I would take Cross. Tough player, great tank one of the fittest in the AFL, pretty good disposal. Very consistant too.

Swan is awesome as well, real tough one...

 

[McManus2Waterhouse]

cross by a mile i dont think you could have found 2 more opposite players

 

[Heater39]

Call me biased but i would take Swan. He hurts you more on the scoreboard, is a better mark and is just as good at finding the footy.

True, Swan is a great mark , great pair of hands.

 

[gangsta deluxe]

Both excellent players.

I'm not going to vote on this one. I really wouldn't be able to choose.

 

[Colin D'Cops]

Both outstanding, ball-gathering midfielders, but I'd have to go Swan purely because he can hurt you on the scoreboard more compared to Cross.

 

[The Grover]

Would love both at Carlton, I'd take Swan as I think he can also be an effective forward + midfielder.

Good to have a decent poll for once.

Whoever you choose is clearly subjective, but it is definately a close call between 2 evenly matched players.

Typical foolish BF comment.

 

[Free Willy]

Swan's got more tricks.

 

[hellfire]

Pretty tight. Lean towards Swan because we already have him, and he's more of a goal-kicker.

 

[skelly12]

Good poll! Very evenly matched players. Cross has better disposal but Swan kicks goals and takes grabs. Swan slightly ahead.

 

[Rabbit of Caerbannog]

Both can't kick, but at least Cross doesn't try to.

 

[Cassius_Clay]

Swan easily. Can kick goals, is a good mark and isnt a one trick pony. Gets tagged every week where Cross never gets targetted.

 

[Souup]

Cross by the length of flemington straight

Swan is one of the biggest nothing players in the AFL, gets alot of it but his disposals are meaningless and he cant kick for shit

6 goals in 2 weeks says otherwise. A lot more effective then say, Adam Simpson?

 

[Souup]

Yeah he probably is more effective with his disposal then Simpson, but thats barely saying anything as i'd say Simpson would be in the top 10 least effective players in the AFL with his disposal. Overall Simpson is much better in other aspects of the game

6 Goals in 2 weeks?? Wow.. He had 12 in 18 games before the last 2 weeks. Jarrad McVeigh has kicked 8 in the past 3 games, doesnt make him a goal kicking midfielder

 

[celtic_pride]

Cross Easily, Swan is nothing but an overrated squib ..

He's that bad that he gets the heavy tag each week and beats em.

I suppose you know more than the coaches, yeah?

Yeah i know more than the coaches

Swan wouldnt make the midfield in any other top 8 team atm, include Brisbane, Richmond and Carlton, as they're still chances of a top 8 finish

Well thats what you're making out. You're pretty much calling Laidley, Mark Williams, Thompson etc all shit coaches cos they put a heavy tag on such a 'shit' player.

Would get a game for every side.

He gets tagged because he is your best midfielder (which isn't saying much, the rest are battlers). He'd get tagged at max 2-3 other teams.

So, now Pendlebury is also shit. As if you wouldnt tag Didak ahead of him considering he was playing mostly as a midfielder. Sorry your excuses arent staking up. The coaches rate him as a serious cog in our side.

He'd be first tagged at Essendon. Thats for sure.

Pendlebury is your best midfielder. Do you agree?? If so, shouldnt coaches be tagging Pendlebury?? Putting a tag on Swan is a waste

Disagreeing with the tagging of 1 player barely means i think i know more then the coaches

They're about even.

Ask yourself why every single coach puts a heavy tag on Swan? Either the coaches are all rubbish and shouldnt have a job or you're wrong and Swan's actually a good player. Which is it?
