Daniel Cross vs Jobe Watson

[Tomorrows_Nobody]

Who is the better player? And if you vote, please write your opinion and on what basis.
IMHO, they're both similar players.
Great extractors of the pill.
Both great handballers and prefer it over kicking.
Kicking is also their weak points.

Jobe Watson - Just because

 

[GrandBlue]

Daniel Cross as he can actually take contestant marks and delivers handballs impressivley. At least in my opinion, he's one of the top defencive midfielders, though, I'm just a Dog supporter.

Jobe, being Timmy Watson's son is a huge disappointment. Not saying Jobe Watson is a bad player but he should have been a lot better, being Tim's son and he was one of the best players in the AFL. He was the Chris Judd of the 70s.

 

[mdc]

Another ridiculous comparison involving an Essendon player.

Cross by absolute miles.

 

[Winner]

Watson.

 

[anubis]

Another stupid thread by a essendon supporter.
Whats next Courtney Dempsey vs Gary Ablett jr?
Essendon supporters vote Dempsey-Reasons he is younger with more of a upside so i take Dempsey.We wouldn't trade him for Ablett

Cross is a better platyer atm but watson is closing the gap and could be the better player at the end of the season. He still needs a lot of work on his foot disposal.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Watson isn't a bad player but at the moment, Cross by miles. Harder at it, does the one percenters and even won their B&F last year over Cooney.

What?

 

[bradrowe#32]

Cross by a long way.

 

[Bulldog Joe]

I am amazed that even Essendon supporters could vote for Watson.

The only thing comparable is their kicking which is hopeless for both.

Cross is better defensively
Cross is quicker and runs significantly further.
Cross takes contested marks overhead
Cross gets in and under packs
Cross is the hardworking Land Cruiser compared to Watson as the Lite Ace van

 

[Team Mo']

Cross by a long way...

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Cross.
Just an allround better player. More awareness. Better skills.

better, better, better.

 

[larson]

What?

What the f@#$ do you think he means

 

[DonMania#5]

Cross easily..

 

[Hard Ball Get]

THis is laughable.
Cross by so far it is not funny.
Watson is VFL standard compared to Cross

 

[X_box_X]

What a ridiculous poll.

Jobe plays very well defensively
agree

have you seen Watson play?
You can't be f***ing serious, can you?

 

[X_box_X]

You can't be f***ing serious, can you?

You can't be f***ing serious, can you?

 

[cooper6]

any honest essendon fan should acknowledge that cross is miles ahead of watson. watson is underrated though he is no cross

 

[celtic_pride]

ROFL worst poll either ...

Cross is as an extremely good and talented player, with only his kicking letting him down at times.

Watson is an slow, untalented, unskilled plodder who is in the top 10 of worst AFL players, just an complete and utter crab.

 

[Rack Watts]

Cross is the hardworking Land Cruiser compared to Watson as the Lite Ace van

Well I guess Watson does have to carry an entire team sometimes

 

[Windas_Magic]

Cross.

Although Watson is underrated on here.

 

[Souup]

No YOU cant be ****ing serious mate.

I cannot believe Cross and Watson are being compared, let alone idiots trying to plead a case for Watson being BETTER
