To compare him with other skillfull left footed players, i consider Damien Squire and Chad Wingard as being similar in style
All I can say is "Wash your mouth out with soap, Mal". To mention Squizzy Squire and Chad Wingard in the same breath as John Cahill is like mentioning Bryce McGain and Adam Zampa as bowling similarly to Shane Warne.
I would say if you combined the kicking of Damian Squire, the courage of Michael Wilson, the endurance of Craig Bradley and the explosiveness of Peter Matera, then you might get close to what John Cahill was like as a player.
I mentioned that he is universally considered the best player not to win a Magarey Medal, the main reason was that because of his absolute lack of fear, he missed too many games with injury.
When you consider that he was 180 cms tall and 75 kilograms he wasn't very robustly built.
He was a Champion.
