[masai]

Chick > Worsfold

Are you sure you have the correct sign?.

Chick is a good worker, but Woosha was at least a class above.

At his best Chick gets the nod for footy ability. Woosha of course beats him in physical presence and leadership.

 

[shirls]

Woosha is twice the player than Chick

Chick has done very little for the Eagles.

 

[Eagles_Rock]

Oh, great, a newbie!

 

[coasting]

Matera > Judd (Judd must prove himself in finals before overtaking him)
Turley < Fletcher (Tough one as both AA, Turls was maybe a little better but his career at WCE was short)
Pyke < Cousins (Cousins is the superior player here)
Mainwaring > Kerr (Kerr more talented but not as consistent)
Hart < Wirrapunda (Wirra is the better player but Hart produced in big games)
Glass < McIntosh (Easy)
Chick < Worsfold (Woosha clearly. Chick doesn't have long left)
Heady > Embley (Heady was a freak but had a short career. Embley could overtake him by the end)
Lewis > Sampi (Very similar players but Lewis was very good from the start)

The main thing is that the early eagles players had all proved themselves in finals football whereas the current group haven't.

 

[Exeter]

What about Kemp V Kerr, Kemp V Fletcher or Kemp V Cousins?

Kemp v Cuz Winner Kemp

Oh, Kemp's just too good.

Matera over Judd - Matera just did it for longer and in bigger games. Judd obviously still has plenty of time to match those two feats but right now its Roo.

Fletcher over Turley - Turley's career at WC was perhaps a little too short. Fletcher has impeccable skills and is now AA, has it all in front of him too.

Cousins over Pyke - no disrepect to Pyke as he is a great player but Cousins in a canter.

Mainwaring = Kerr - Mainy did it over a long period of time, played in all the big games etc, pretty much the same as why Matera has it over Judd. The difference here though is that Mainwaring's skills were probably questionable, unlike Matera's, Judd's and Kerr's.

Wirrpunda over Hart - Hart was steady and solid. But Wirra is a freak, if Punda ever put it all together, we would be talking brownlows.

McIntosh over Glass - Milli is one of the best FB's of the past 20 odd years so Glass has an uphill battle. Glass though is very good and I wouldnt be surprised if he grabs a couple of AA guernseys before he is done.

Worsfold over Chick - Chick is the more skilled footballer but Woosha is such a great leader and so intimidating and courageous that he gets the nod. Woosha has also played his best footy for the club, which Chick hasnt done yet.

Heady over Embley - Pretty even IMO. Heady played in premiership and was a great HFF but Embley has it all, can play anywhere and is probably more skilled. Embers has time to overtake him and should do it by the time he is done.

Lewis over Sampi - Samps has a long, long way to go to get by Lewis. Chris Lewis was just sublimely skilled and could play anywhere from midfield to out of the goal square. Sampi is a good kid but nothing on the legend of Lewis just yet.

agree entirely, except Chick, while being good, is not even close to Woosha
