Soligo is a clean and clever footballer. These are two of the traits that are most sorely lacking in Ned.

The similarity would seem to lie in body shape, endurance and haircut.

If Ned had Soligo's poise there would be a footballer in him.
 
Not sure why he's getting compared to McHenry anyway. Soligo has shown significantly more ability in a handful of games then McHenry has shown in his whole career. They don't play the same position either.
That's why they are being compared. Not for their similarities, which seem to be generally stature and athletically skewed, but for their differences, which seem to be footy IQ and skills related.
 
So basically the comparison is: Soligo can football, Ned can’t?

Also Soligo started as a half-forward this year, so there was some value in comparing the two as it was a potential pathway for Jake to force his way in.

It's not a worthwhile comparison now, seeing Soligo has gone past McHenry.

Even factoring in KPP’s taking longer to develop, I would say this kid would be comfortably in the 1st round of last years draft if done over again.

For someone so young he doesn’t panic, has poise, makes great decisions and has good skills.

Throw in good ball winning ability and competitiveness and we’ve got a beauty and he’s a midfielder!
