Who would you rather?

[gouki88]

Watching the games this weekend, as well as some inspiration stemming from those super fund ads, I decided to make a little comparison. One of the below players is a Collingwood player who we recruited for cheap (no prizes for guessing who), the other is an opposition player who cost them a boatload. So, I ask, who would you rather?

Player	A	B
Born	1998	1999
Disposals	23.3	23.2
Goals	0.4	0.2
Tackles	3.7	4.5
Inside 50s	3.5	4.7
Goal assists	0.8	0.3
Disposal efficiency	69.1%	74.1%
Clearances	3.2	3.9
Rebound 50s	1.8	0.8
Score involvements	5.8	4.7
Metres gained	293	317

I forgot to add:

Player A cost pick 43. Player B cost pick 6 and a future 3rd round pick.

Que Cerra Cerra?

 

[Exambolor]

Lippa v Cerra?

You’d take Lippa. Cerra has been underwhelming for the Blues considering how much of a blockbuster trade it was

 

[The Phantom]

Wow.
Impressive comparison.

I'm surprised Lippa's disposal is worse than the Blooz great hope... Wasn't his disposal supposed to be elite?

The best part is Carlton have the more expensive one

It is, but I think given the style we are now playing; the chaos style, that doesn't always shine through. Doesn't matter though, as he gets the job done.

We’ve had a lot of wet weather games this year which hasn’t helped that stat

i'd like to see an analysis of all the players that cost multiple high draft picks. I generally think most of them havent been worth it.

I'm with you... Often multiple pick players just aren't worth it in comparison with the potential net production of multi picks. Jeremy Cameron is a star and the Cats will be delighted he's theirs, but even then it was 3 first rounders for an absolute star forward and two future seconds so not a genuine multi pick trade.

And even then... Nail three first round picks in a good year and that's a helluva lot of service you could get for 10+ years.

its a good example and he's flying at the moment....and there is an argument for key key key key players....Generational players. I think cameron might qualify. Yes, I would pay multiple for the Bont, but not for the other dog midfielders. If your recruiters cant pick an elite midfielder from a couple of top 10 draft picks, then sack the recruiters. Adam Cerra's price was ok.

The other thing about the cameron trade is that the three picks weren't top ten. People talk about first round picks as if they're all the same. Big difference between pick 3 and pick 20.... a big difference.

Another thing is that cameron and cerra both wanted to go to their new clubs only. I didnt like the adam treloar situation. If a player is caught between two clubs, I'd be happy to see them move on.

Yeah maybe.. but that is assuming the Blooz haven’t. I don’t know those stats..

I remember debating this as young kid with my mates over these 2.

It is indeed Cerra. I wonder what the coin comparison is...

I was the one who didn't like blondes and advocated for Carmen Electra.

I think that this is the key comparison in todays game where you can trade picks and players more readily. Value for money and optimising the use of your salary cap. The other question to ask is over time do their salaries coalesce if the performances are similar. I expect Lippa’s next contract to increase.

This is where Grundy fails with his current post contract form.

She’s aged the best

Why not both???

 

[Doc1763]

The main difference is, Cerra was recruited as a (alleged) star addition to their midfield. Lippa was recruited as a piece of the puzzle.

 

[Jim Levenstein]

If it was based purely on picking one of them, Cerra has a higher ceiling and produced better footy so taking him easily. However, reality encompasses various costs so we have got one hell of a steal. And I hope we do it again and get Matherson from lions.

 

[The Magnificent Seven]

Quality recruiting meets quality senior coaches. There’s the real difference.

Suck s**t Voss

What happens if you take out the Essendon match where Cerra played 8% game time due to his hamstring injury?

Cerra's averages become:
24.6 disposals, 0.21 goals, 5.2 tackles, 4.5 I50s, 4.2 clearances, 5.3 score assists. So, marginally better

Pretty interesting.

From the eye test I would have thought that Cerra is having way more impact than Lipinski but in reality not so much.
