Article just released on the AFL site compares the two....

Already better than peak Cyril? The crazy stats behind Kozzy's stunning rise

Thanks for this.

Too early to call.

Ill just say its exciting to keep winning but also exciting to see just what Kozzie will do each week.

Get the feeling hes going to rip a game totally apart.

Cyril...4 x Premiership Player

3 x AA

Norm Smith medal.

An impressive career.

If Kosie does that with us I will be more than happy...

Too early

Let's keep a little check on the hyperbole for the moment. Kozzie's good but he's not deliiiiiiiiiiiiicious yet !!!!

We need some kind of 'keeping a lid on it pledge' thread.

Kozzie is going great for a youngster, but to say he’s already better than Cyril is a bit silly. Cyril is a Norm Smith medalist and three time All Australian. Kozzie has a long way to go to be better than Cyril. 

That said he’s on track to become a star like Cyril was!

Kozzie certainly looks the goods but probably best to return to this comparison in about 5 years time

It has to Kozzie by a country mile. The old footy adage applies - you're only as good as your next game and Cyril doesn't have a next game.

How some statistical article can get excited comparing 7 game averages agains a 30 - 40 game average is beyond me.  Wounder if you went cherry picking a 7 game streak from that first two seasons of Cryil if you'd find something where he's smashed Kossie in some stat or another.

Don't get me wrong, I love Kossie and I don't even think we've seen the peak of what his 2021 season can produce yet, but comparing such dissimilar sample sizes of games is rather silly.

The pole of who would you rather have is a bit silly too isn't it.  So 53% of the footy public would rather have a player in their mid-late 30s with a busted up body that 19yo Kossie?

Cyril who?

So Charlie Spargo is better than Gary Ablett Snr?

He'd be happy with that.

Oh, fer chrissake. Can we just wait until after Spargo's retired and see if he's involved in murky circumstances surrounding a fatal drug overdose before we start making comparisons?

Not yet but he will be.
Confidence growing in front of the goals every game.

Loved how he picked Fritta up.

Love the statistical comparison but everyone is different . His chasing reminds of me Davey , his ability to do the unthinkable like Cyril , the marking of the Wizz and the likability of Betts .

I thank my luck stars he plays for us and fingers crossed we will see him for a decade .

Also kicking at a similar age reminds me of Wanganeen .
