Past Player comparisons with Current Players

[Ask Sandy]

I thought this might be fun, to draw similarities between our current list and past players (exception Chad Cornes). Feel free to disagree, argue or agree, love to find out what other Big Footy members comparisons are. Some comparisons are looking at what the player might become at their peak.

Here’s our current list:
Tony Armstrong
Nathan Bock
Brett Burton
Myke Cook
Patrick Dangerfield Kane Johnson/Sean Wellman/Ben Hart
Phil Davis
Michael Doughty
Richard Douglas Mark Bickley/ Matthew Liptak - will be better than Bicks, more skilled
Tyson Edwards
Greg Gallman
Nick Gill
Simon Goodwin
Jonathon Griffin Ben Marsh
Trent Hentschel
Jarrhan Jacky Ronnie Burns/Peter Vardy
Graham Johncock
Aaron Kite
Chris Knights Matt Connell
Tom Lee
David Mackay
Ivan Maric
Shaun McKernan
Andrew McLeod unique freak
Brad Moran
Andy Otten Chad Cornes/Rod Jameson
Jared Petrenko Troy Bond

[RoosterLad]

Sorry there is only one Jesus

It is a perfect match in both looks and ability.

Porplyzia is good but not even close to Darren Jarman yet, if he becomes half as good as that great man then I will be quite pleased.

Danger doesn't really remind me of Benny Hart either but some may disagree.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Andy Otten reminds me of a taller Kane Johnson

 

[Riggy1]

Edited for a bit more fun.

added a few more for fun

 

[Ask Sandy]

I messed up, was meant to put
Myke Cook - future Kane Johnson/Sean Wellman/Ben Hart
not Patrick Dangerfield

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

David Mackay - David Marshall

 

[jackster83]

Vince => a young Kane Johnson
Otten => Goodwin
Dangerfield => his physique and the number 32 remind me a bit of young Roo
Sellar => Robran

 

[Mr Crow!]

We need someone like the WEED!
