Selwood or Rioli?

[ultimate warrior]

This is the worst comparison ive ever heard. Selwood is the best first second year player we have seen since judd. You talk about speed being so critical. I always thought getting the ball was the first priority. Speed is most over hyped commodity in football. Its how quickly you make decisions and good those decisions are.

Yup, Rioli has those qualities too. But he also has the speed, which makes him both an inside and outside player. He's also a top ten assist player in the AFL this year, and kicks more goals than Selwood. Not bad for a first year player huh? His stats and the way he plays remind me a little of a first-year JUDD.

Rioli. Selwood is over rated. People think hes that good because of his premiership medal.

Rioli is nothing special at all, he is another aaron davey, they come onto the scene with a big bang, its all about their speed and pressure, thats all players like him are good for, he wont get much better than he is, just a typical nuggety indeginous player.

Selwood is the best second year 18 year old draftee to ever come thru the ranks, he averaged 25 possesions a game this year, and was top 3 in the AFL for percentage of kicks into the forward fifty that result in a team mate's mark, he is one of the most damaging kicks in the league, his ability to create play and hit a moving target lace out is second to none.

this is not even a close comparison, no one compares to Joel Selwood in their second year.

Nice try Ace, but next time you are feeling insecure about your selection of Gibbs not turning out to be the best of his crop, go punch your teddy bears or your pillow a couple of times to relieve the tension instead of making a fool of urself.
