Pendles by a mile....this year and the last two years

 

[Thecho]

On current form Pendlebury easily, on potential Deledio definitely.

 

[smiddaz123]

Why does Deledio have more potential than Pendlebury exactly?

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Deledio has been really disappointing this year so far after being hyped up earlier, but saying that I'm pretty sure he will be a star. Pendlebury has been great so far this year and will be an elite midfielder of the competiton. But I went Pendles due to current form

 

[deledio7]

I think it is ridiculous that because a young player has had a couple of quiet games that he needs to be compared to others. Remember he did win the BnF last year and was BOG for the tiges against both Geelong and North.

Many bagged him for getting meaningless possies last year, this year in his better games he has hurt teams, all he needs now is some consistancy. I have no doubt when Cousins and Cotchin return he will continue to improve this year.

hmmmmm... lets see here

On one hand there is one who kicks the ball no further that 25-30m 95% of the time,

Then there is the other who turns over the footy by foot 95% of the time...

tough one...

Id go with Pendles, because the ball doesnt go flying back past over his head most of the time after he has disposed of the footy...

Bryce Squibbs and Smurph are even worse.

Why bother making a thread 5 rounds in seriously, obvious Pendles has been great so far and lids has been quite poor.

Current form - Pendles by a long way

Potential - Lids (Maybe a little baised) Although end of the season could bring a different answer.

Shows were your list is at,

Pendlebury by a couple of streets.

 

[Lord_Travis]

Pendles has been better this year, but I'd still prefer Lids at Melbourne, as he is exactly the kind of mid we are currently lacking.

 

[DoubleO7]

as he is exactly the kind of mid we are currently lacking.

... and what type of midfielder would that be?

 

[Heater39]

The only area where Deledio is clearly ahead is his speed.

Pendles is much better in close, a better decision maker and more creative.

So overall, Pendles.

 

[bigburger]

Too hard to choose so i won't.

 

[black and white]

def pendles, love how he plays

 

[Pie Legend]

Pendlebury easily. Has been last few years as well.

 

[chelseacarlton]

Pendlebury easily,by the length of Caulfield racecourse!
Better skills,better leader,better kick,better better better.
The other guy is quick,but still gets caught,not many lay a tackle on the Pendles
