Steve Motlop vs Michael Walters

[Moist Biscuit]

Who would you prefer out of the two?

Impossible thread I dont think Walters will improve so much in the future, Motlop will become something more special. Then again you're a Freo supporter and I support Geelong.

How can you say that Walters won't improve? They are both 22 years old, midfielders come up to there prime at about 25-6.

 

[Adam H]

Motlop easy to be fair.

 

[timtamWB]

Motlop easily. He is more of your winger/HFF whereas Walters has played more as a small forward. And i'd rather a gun winger/HFF than a gun small forward.

 

[Engimal]

Yeah, Motlop. Walters is no slouch but I feel that Steven is quite special and will reign the superior Motlop by the end of his career.

Walters seems like that type of player that just stops.

 

[Big Tom 2013]

Walters is one of my fav Freo players, really enjoy watching him play.
As a cats supporter I'd have to go with Motlop though-dont think I'm being biased either, think he pips Walters here

 

[Tragic sainter]

Motlop. Far more damaging than Walters.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Walters

 

[FalcoX]

Those saying Motlop easily are taking the piss surely? Walters leads in goals, marks, goal assists, tackles, clearances etc yet Motlop is supposedly easily better

 

[SwiftNShuey]

Walter's gets more than double the free kicks

 

[Heaps of fun]

This one is really hard for me. Motlop could potentially become a major ball getter as well as goal kicker, Walters is already a prolific goal kicker and has a well rounded game.
I feel like at this point Walters is a better player in his position.

 

[Jaeger]

Walters for mine.

x2.

Would welcome either to the Blues.

 

[WWSD]

Some of the comparisons on Bigfooty are laughable. Both players play different roles

Steven Motlop is a wingman/half forward and Michael Walters is a true small forward. At this stage Motlop is slightly the better player. They both have plenty of improvement left in them and we won't see the best of these two for a few years yet given they are still fairly young.

A more reasonable comparison would have been Lewis Jetta vs Steven Motlop given they both play exactly the same role.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Motlop easily

 

[Susan_Boyle14]

Motlop easily

Easily? You don't watch many Freo games, do you?

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

I do but Walters does not come close to Motlop imo... Motlop has more to offer and is just class

 

[eth-dog]

Motlop comfortably. I've watched him closely since he was the result of the Prismall trade, brilliant player.

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

Motlop certainly more damaging, but it's easier to be damaging from the midfield than playing as a leading small forward.

Both good players

 

[Stratton_Gun]

Walters for. Always rated him even when he was on the outer at Freo. Good player. Motlop has more potential though but not currently

 

[JPod_31]

This guy.

I like this one...


Personally i think Motlop has been better to date but Sonny is coming fast, real fast. More midfield time this year will show more of his elite foot skills.

 

[eaglespremiers]

I actually prefer Walters going forward.
