Greg Williams v Robert Harvey

[Tigersman]

This one was on sen the other day.

Williams for me.

 

[bigburger]

Thats extremely tough and a pretty good pair of players to compare.

 

[Rockford]

Diesel in a close one.

 

[Hodgepodge]

Everyone's forgotten how good Harvey used to be cos he's running around now as a good ordinary player. Harvs.

Hes still far better than that easily got Crawford covered. All modern day mid fielders have modelled there games on Harveys. Continuous gut running just grinding players into the ground.

But you wouldnt class him as good ordinary would you.

 

[Puddy]

i chose harvey, still a good solid player

 

[Monkeyboy]

Good Bloke contest - Harvey comfortably
Better footballer contest - Diesel easily

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Never saw Williams play, and dont remember Harves at his best sadly, but what he can do at 37 is astounding.

Williams for me.

Yeah. Great comparison. Two of the best midfielders i have seen play. Diesel just for mine. The best pure footballer to ever play the game.

Its splitting at exactly 50-50, shows what an even match these two are.

I think it shows how shortsighted people are.

1 poster admitted to voting for Harvey after never having watched Diesel play.

From a poster who hated the little rat more than words can say, and have always admired the way Harvey goes about it.............Diesel by a street.

WTF - 50/50?

I love Robert Harvey as a player, but seriously. Diesel by an absolute mile.

How the hell a short, dumpy, slow guy did the things he did is one of marvels of modern football. I'd love to see Williams "draft camp" results. Probably up there with Darren Jarman, I'd imagine.

He still holds the record for most disposals in a game: 53 disposals, 5 marks, 6 goals and 1 behind. (193 Dream Team points )

Trivia
Coincidently, that game was against St Kilda, with Harvey playing his 13th game. Harvey had just the 13 possessions. However, he bounced back the next week with 36 touches and 4 goals against Diesels future side, Carlton.

Greg Williams

Williams was a gun

I watched the 1995 grand final the other day and it just reminded me of how good Diesal really was

Not only did he have the skills but he was also a hard nut, very courageous

Not to say Robert Harvey isnt a great champion of the game but IMO Diesel is alot better!

are you saying Harvey wasn't/isn't?

Better bloke......Harvey by a street

Better footballer.....Williams by the length of Flemington straight

 

[MinerBoy]

Diesel fairly comfortably. That is no disrespect to Harvey, Williams was just that good.
