Two young half high forwards both likely locks in the 2015 AA 22.

Personally, I'd argue that Chad is better right now and has done more on the AFL stage, but he's had more games and more experience to prove it. On the other hand, despite less airtime, Stringer has shown he is more than capable of being an elite AFL player.

Stringer or Wingard, who's your pick?

Really really tough one. I'd agree that at the moment Wingard is better, but over the long term I'd have Stringer. Stringer is a bit more versatile, and I'd say gives opposition coaches more headaches as he is a really hard matchup. Can play as a tall forward, can crumb, and has the scope to be a real impact player in the middle in the future. What he did a couple of weeks ago coming off the back of the square against North was special stuff.

I'd go Stringer.Wingard is very very good but Stringer has that something very special.
Wingard would be your Daicos while Stringer could be your Gary Ablett Snr.

I'd go big boy John Butcher. Vascularity, facial hair of a dream boat and precision so fine you wouldn't want him shooting a fat load in your missus in fear of bastard children.

If you had to pick them for a grand final tomorrow, you'd pick Wingard surely. Stringer is still mostly hype based on some very high quality performances. Wingard with two AA's already and a BnF speaks for itself. Admittedly I'm biased, he's my favourite.

I voted Stringer cos I hate Whingard. But Stringer has more in his game.

How is someone who just kicked nearly 60
goals and was All Australian mostly hype?

Cause he's gotta back it up this year and prove last year wasn't a fluke

Most 21 year olds don't fluke years like that - they have progressed naturally. I would be very surprised if Stringer doesn't get better.

Wingard is the best player in his position in the league.

Is Stringer?

Super hard poll, being they play different roles

Both guns. Stringer will probably end up with more individual awards, but I think Wingard is more consistently damaging.

Voted for Stringer because an A- player with a Brownlow is remembered as being better than an A player without one.
