Grimes(09) vs Judd(02)

Games 11 vs 22

Kicks per game 12.2 vs 10.1

Handballs per game 8.4 vs 5.0

Disposals per game 20.6 vs 15.0

Marks per game 8.6 vs 2.2

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

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.

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.

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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
