Every year every decent draftee gets compared with a current champion, so what are the most common players elite juniors are associated with?
From my view:
Good spatial awareness, balance inside/outside game and good disposal = Scott Pendlebury
Examples: Jack Macrae, Marcus Bontempelli
188cm+, athleticism and burst speed, average disposal = Patrick Dangerfield
Examples: Daniel Venables, Paddy Dow, Nathan Freeman
Tall contested beast, handball happy = Josh Kennedy (Syd)
Examples: Patrick Cripps, Clayton Oliver
Clever smaller forward with decent goal sense, has stints through the midfield = Robbie Gray
Examples: Jade Gresham
Any others?
