Neagle vs Dawes

[Dave The Man]

Came up in another Thread so Who do you is better and Will be Better in the Carrier

I like both, but they are completely different players. Neagle's a FF and Dawes is more of a CHF. Dawes is more atheltic and is probably the fitter out of the two, Neagle is more the pure footballer and an excellent kick of the kick at goal. I'd take Neagle though, if he gets over his injuries that is.

Dawes needs to sharpen up his kicking. Reid is better than Dawes anyway.

Basically agree with CrazyQ.

Dawes would be stronger and fitter, Neagle probably a more natural player. Dawes has a dodgy kicking action, but it seems to be effective most of the time, but not on the level Neagle's kicking is.

I disagree with Redi being better than Dawes though, very much so.

IMO, being played out of position. He'd kill it in the Chad Cornes role when he played at CHB. He is an average kick at goal, but pretty good in general play. Racks up marks and is very very mobile. I'd easily take Reid before Dawes, no question.

Go onto the pies board and you might learn a thing or two about young Reid.
He is now being groomed for that Chad Cornes type role.

Sick.

He'll kill it next year.

Big fan of Jay.

Quick and Strong on the lead, has good second efforts and has a long and straight kick.

I think we have a belter of a player on our hands.

Don't under-estimate Jay's strength, one very strong lad himself.

I rate both as very good prospects, unfortunately Jay is still injury prone and needs to prove he can get over them.

If the Pies continue developing players they way they have been they'll have another very solid player on their hands.

With Travis Cloke at CHF will he play deep?

I'd prefer to see Cloke deep with Dawes leading up personally, but I can see Malthouse using Dawes deep (actually I can see Malthouse playing Dawes in the VFL so Rocca can play AFL, sigh).

I think injury proness is a factor that should be taken into consideration as much as any other. It's just as much an attribute as good kicking or strong marking.

At the moment the two are pretty much on level footing I'd say.

I rate them both highly but I voted Neagle. Quick, strong with a good mark and a good kick. He is definitely the ideal replacement for Lloyd.
