Dont rate them individually which team has the better trio? Happy voting :)
 
I'd take the Collingwood trio. Swan is probably the best player in the comp right now, along with Goodes. Murphy is a deadset gun, and a more complete midfielder than Pendlebury. Tie between Pendlebury and Judd. Tossup between Gibbs and Ball.
 
I went with Carlton, only because i reckon Ball is letting them down. If Thomas were in place of Ball, i'd say Collingwood trio.

How is Ball letting us down? 3rd in the AFL for goal assists & a clearance machine.
 
Judd > Swan
Murphy < Pendlebury
Gibbs = Ball
Carlton 3 = Collingwood 3

Very little between these players.
Judd slightly better than Swan (and been doing it for much longer)
Pendlebury slightly better than Murphy
Gibbs and Ball are very different players but I think they bring a similar amount to either team (IMO Gibbs has the capacity to be much better).
 
I think (hope) the Spaniel meant Ball was bringing our comparison down, not that he is letting Collingwood down.

Not much in it though, maybe the Blues just win.

Really? Ball has been fantastic this year, back to his very best.

If anything Gibbs is 'letting down' the Carlton boys.

I'm obviously bias but I rate Swan just over Judd and Pendle's just over Murphy (although Murphy has really stepped up this year and is playing some great footy), but I rate Ball a lot higher then Gibbs at the moment. Saying that I reckon Gibbs is due for a hugh improvement next year, he has all the tools he just needs to learn to apply them better and become more consistent.
 
Sorry, don't mean to say that Ball lets Collingwood down, i mean he lets Swan and Pendles down in this comparison.
I don't rate him anywhere near Swan or Pendles, and i would prefer Gibbs over him.

Edit:yeh Pie in the sky got it, i do like Ball

I think Balls efforts have gone unnoticed a bit this year with he likes of Swan, Pendles, Cloke, Reid, Thomas etc. around him. But he is so important to our team and he would have been in our best in most if not all games this year. If I had to choose three players out of Swan, Pendles, Thomas and Ball to take into the grand final I would have a very hard choice on my hands!

Ablett, Judd and Pendlebury are all better than Swan.

Also I'd probs go with Carlton. 50/50 though.

Ha ha ha! Luke Ball has been absolutely fantastic for Collingwood since he played his first match in black and white stripes last season! This poll though should also include Dale Thomas for Collingwood though, and maybe Andrew Carrazzo or another midfielder for Carlton.
 
Coll v Carl comparison

Swan = Judd, both top 5 mids
Pendles = M.Murphy, both top 10 mids
Thomas > K.Simpson, although K.Simpson is a gun
L.Ball > Carazzo
Beams > Robinson

H.Shaw = Gibbs
B.Johnson < Scotland
L.Davis > Yarran
 
ball severely underrated by carlton fans. They picked up brock mclean same draft. They needed a ball and still do. Must hurt them to see it working out so well for collingwood. Gibbs would have to be close to rioli as the most overrated player on Bigfooty.

Voted for the Collingwood trio.

Cant believe what Carlton supporters are saying about Ball. Reason why teams have started to use a 3rd man up in the ruck in the stopages is to stop Balls influence.

Bang..IMO Thomas is better than Ball. But seems Ball is there i'd probably call it a draw. Put Thomas there and easy Collingwood. So damaging.
