Neal-Bullen v Kennedy-Harris: Clash of the Hyphens

[Topkent]

Salem? He is ahead of Melksham for me in my opinion.

His last game showed exactly why we need him playing 22 games each year.

For mine 15 or so of our players are locks and then the rest are fighting for the last few spots
Not my opinion on who's a better player just that Salem is the level of talent in that battle

Stretch is another, Vince could well be another too

Once Garry Salem gets a consistent run with health and form he will prove to be one of our most important players.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Completely agreed Topkent but i'm gonna have to side with everybody else on Salem

 

[Crusty Demon]

Given a good pre-season and a clean run with injuries, Salem will hopefully get more of an on ball role next season with Melksham and Hibberd coming in. Kids a jet, just needs a bit of luck and he's easily one of the first picked..

Salem is competing for the same spots definitely but I think the coaching staff rate him just as highly as we do.

 

[Topkent]

Maybe they do rate him that highly, he certainly offers something different to the rest of our inside mids and was rushed back for the geelong game so maybe they do

 

[Theseventhhamster]

Nil all draw, don't see it for either guy.

 

[Sprout]

Poll results reflecting how each one is tracking at present.

ANB proving increasingly valuable as a mid rotation. Hopes for JKH are dwindling.

 

[schmuttt]

I think JKH at a pinch has more ability to make it at the top level than ANB.

I don't like to be so negative about a player but just don't see ANB having the standout attributes to make it at AFL level, at least with us.

WRONG

 

[Marc_Remillard]

Both are better options than Kent

This is a bad troll

I just voted now to make sure I was on the winning side.

 

[Cannon82]

Huh, I had no idea you could actually look at it and see which way people voted.

• Klyntonius

• Headless

• L_W_P

• fushy

• Dee Dee

• Kick Behinds

Ha, fools! Takes the fun out of silly voting though, should be anonymous.

 

[fushy]

Wife's favorite player is JKH so i had no choice in voting.

My missus like JKH too. I told her to pick a new fave after the Richmond game because he'll be gone by the end of the season.

 

[Topkent]

WRONG

Not wrong yet. ANB has stepped up this year but he is still right on the edge of being dropped.
Does a lot OK but not a lot very well which will hold him back

Still well ahead of JKH though

Oh yeah. JKH will never play another AFL Gans

 

[Sylvia Saint]

Can't see either player being on an AFL list in 10 years time but ANB has put himself in a good position for a new contract this year. JKH will be delisted. I still like Dean more than either.

I'll go you one better and suggest that there's no chance either of them will be on an AFL list in 20 years time.

Not sure what you're getting at. I just see ANB as the type that will battle away for a couple more years but not one that will be testing free agency markets put it that way. Does he have enough tricks? Staying on an AFL list ain't easy. I'd give him another contract though.

I get that, but saying he won't be on a list in 10 years time at 31 years of age is something you can probably say about at least 80% of AFL footballers. Make it 5 and you'll be making more of a statement.

Joke's on you when ANB volunteers for stem cell testing and then mutates into a super athlete with 8 arms

I like this idea. With octopus suckers.

I'd bet having the intelligence of an octopus would benefit his decision making as well. Clever critters.
