    if you were going to compare you should compare grimes 09 to judd 03 as it was both there second seasons, also i dont think stats that are 6 years apart can determine anything considering how much the game has changed

    Unfortunately they do lie, but Grimes will be a gun rest assured.

    stats are liars!

    Can't compare them, Judd was playing midfield not half back, you would need to have same amoutn of ground time, same positions etc and in 03 the game was a less possession style game.

    Interesting stats. And also, it's relevant that Jack's been plagued by injury which has made him miss games, whereas "the gouger" seems to play week after week, despite early O.P.

    Worthwhile post, RIP Troy!

    contested possessions? goals? clearances?

    also @bruce i wouldn't really call this grimes 'seconds season' since he playes ONE game in 2008

    but seriously, he will be a star.

    You have to though. A LOT of difference between a teenager who's been at the club only a few month, to a player who's had a full 12 months to get settled. Not so much about games played, as preseasons.

    Grimes payed ONE game last year. I'd hardly call it his second season.

    this is a ridiculous sort of comparison... watch...

    Newton(07) vs Franklin(05)

    Games 10 vs 20

    Kicks per game 8.3 vs 7.0

    Handballs per game 2.0 vs 3.7

    Disposals per game 10.3 vs 10.7

    Marks per game 4.1 vs 3.7

    Goals Per game 1.4 vs 1.1

    now don't tell me you think Juice is going to be as good as Buddy Franklin... I'm a Juice fan, but I know this comparison is silly...

    Juice will never be close to the level of Buddy Franklin, Juice's goal kicking is awful and cost us the Adelaide game in R5.

    Buddy is a dead eye dick is he? Juice will never be close to the level of Buddy cause Buddy is 100 times stronger, faster, mobile and smarter than Newton. Buddy has plenty of strengths goal kicking is not one of them.

    Agree on Newton never being close to Buddy's level.

    Buddy has plenty of strengths goal kicking is not one of them.

    Is that in terms of straight set shots?

    Because last year he kicked over 100 goals, this year he's kicked over 60, I'd say goal kicking is one of his strengths. Certainly stronger than alot of other AFL players.

    If you want a truly awesome comparison of teenage years, you can't go past Cale Morton ;)

    2008 - 18.4 disposals, 6.2 marks, 0.6 goals, 1 tackle a game, 19 games all up.

    2009 - 22.7 disposals, 7.0 marks, 0.4 goals, 1.4 tackles a game, 21 games.

    Brock Mclean got 9 brownlow votes in his second season, still a teenager.

    Nathan Jones's 17.4 disposals and 4.1 tackles a game arnt him 5 browlow votes in his final 'teenage' year.

    Several other player's stats were better than Judd's first year, including Cheney and Bate, who were playing with the additional challenge of red hair.

    Liam Jurrah's stats across all aspects are the best debut year stats for a tall forward in a couple of decades, for what it's worth.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
