Jobe Watson vs Shane Tuck

[Barnzy]

Tell that to your little tiger buddies that are having a cry about the results.

I couldn't care less what they're whinging about or what Essendon fans are whinging about re the comparison. I'm sure many others don't either.

Agree with Barnzy. Watson is better than Tuck.
And this probably should be on the polls board along with the Watts vs Hurley thread? Or am I missing something?

Well dont read it. Pretty obvious what the contents were from the title.

IMO, Deledio>Watson, Riewoldt>> Tuck.

Bingo.

Watson. Why is this even a debate?

 

[Scodog10]

Jeez these two arent that different based on stats. For 2010.

Watson: 27.2 disposals at 71.3% efficiency, 11.3 contested possessions, 2.3 inside 50's, 3.7 marks and 5.7 clearances.

Tuck: 25.5 disposals at 71.2% efficiency, 10 contested possessions, 3.3 inside 50's, 4.6 marks and 5 clearances.

I went with Watson because he seems to have intangibles that Tuck doesn't like leadership and a slightly increased impact on matches.

 

[SirJimi05]

watson has never come close to the afl's elite in terms of clearances or contested possessions, his inside work is astoundingly overrated

Stop making shit up. Over the last 3 years Watson is statistically the 2nd best inside midfielder in the competition.

Statistically Tuck and Watson are pretty much even, does that make Tuck the 3rd best Inside Midfielder?

 

[brett15]

Watson... easily.
