Moved Thread The Riewoldt cousins

[MrDanggazz]

Seen this discussion around and about bigfooty, thought id put the question to you guys. Who is the better player ? Nick or Jack ?

Edit: I should of stated my intention, I didn’t make this thread to belittle Jack, I made it simply to show how great these two players have been and to see who people would rather have in their side.

 

[Dav]

Nick by far. Elite player and leader for many many years. Jack has been a good, if not great, full forward for a while but Nick was the best CHF since Wayne Carey imo.

 

[NetworkNerd]

Right now.... Jack as he is in match fitness.

Career wise definitely Nick for me. Almost impossible to match up on with one player.

This thread is for simpletons who also don't know who is the better ablett.

 

[Handsuper47]

Nick by far, it's not even a contest. Did you never watch the bloke play?

[hoianbulldog]

Snr?

By a long long long margin.

You mean right now Jack because Nick retired last year.

 

[TiggerMan22]

As I said in the other thread it's closer than most think and Jack is closing.

By the end of his career he will most likely be similar goals kicked and games played.
Will also have 2 Coleman's and a flag, which Nick had neither of.

Jack's also a great leader (Nick was one of the all time best tho), hes a better on the ground player and better at tackling/applying pressure.
Nick's way better in the air, contested mark and around the ground tall.

 

[SterlingArcher]

Jack is a gun who has extremely high footy smarts and was crucial in a flag, yes.

BUT

Nick was the best player in the league for a while and is probably the best CHF of this century (what do people call Buddy in terms of position is the only question stopping him).

Nick. It's not a slight on Jack at all.

[tugga]

lol
Love Jack. He's ours and he's a gun and he loves our club.
But Nick was an absolute freak. One of the best players I have ever seen.

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Nick by far. Junk time Jack

 

[Bulldog1954]

This is a silly thread, there's no argument, anyone who says Jack is better is wrong. Jack's a gun, but Nick is definitely the better player.

 

[Tap Tap Tapperoo]

This thread isn't fair to Jack. Richmond fans might try and make a case, and no doubt he is one of the better forwards in the game at the moment, but Nick Riewoldt is one of the absolute very best players from the last 20 years.

I do believe Nick is the better player (given Jacks career isn’t over) but man Jacks been making a strong case the last couple of years imo. The legacy these two are going to leave on the game will be remembered for a long time.

Agree Nick. Care to explain "junk time jack" comment?

What? Yes I have. Heaps.

Ps: posted this a couple hours ago and it was removed with absolutely no explanation why from the mod who did it.

wtf...this is not even worth discussing.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Nick was almost the best player in the comp at one stage.

No contest, and that is no disrespect to Jack.

 

[100action]

Nick on current form, Jack based on their careers

 

[MrDanggazz]

wtf...this is not even worth discussing.

Then leave ? just because you don’t think it’s worth discussing doesn’t mean I can’t.

 

[wowlace]

How is this even debatable?
