Embley v O'Keefe

[Lynch takes a mark]

Very Similar stats allround

both 190cm and ~90kg's

both very good over head, get a similar amount of the ball, both versatile, kick a similar amount of goals and both taken late in the draft.

Both Premiership players and all that.

Tough choice ey, I went Embley, don't know why... but I guess he seems to be a player that is more damaging through the midfield aswell as in the forward line. O'Keefe is a great player though.

I chose O'Keefe, I beleive that O'Keefe is a KPP only that he isn't as tall as one, he plays so much taller than he is, Embley is a great player but I dont think he is up to the standard of O'Keefe.

OKeefe just but a very good comparison.

I'd love both of those players at essendon.

Can't spilt them, there both important for there sides, both matchwinners on there day.

 

[Claude Balls]

Great comparison. I'd take O'Keefe by a fraction. As someone else said. Can play taller than Embley and is therefore more useful as an offensive option. Yet still covers an extroadinary amount of ground. Embley is possibly more athletic, and obviously extremely versatile, but there's just something about O'Keefe's alround game that stands out. Give's the impression he kicks more goals

Embley for me

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

Rhino by a hair, because he's more consistent.

 

[West Coast 06]

There is not much in it.

O'Keefe 32 goals from 25 games this year.
Embley 31 goals from 23 games.

I voted for Embley because I'm biased.

Rhino by a hair, because he's more consistent.

yeh I'd agree with that. Although Embley's best shades O'Keefe's best IMO.

Probably the best poll/comparison to date, and the closeness in the poll numbers reflects this. O'Keefe just shades Embers for me, because he is far less injury prone.

 

[wce4premiership]

I went for embley, both great players and i know how damaging they can be but i think that embleys best is better then o'keefes best.

I went for O'Keefe because I'm not a West Coast fan, but probably would have gone for Embley if I was a West Coast fan.
