As I no longer watch (or have anything to do with WWTFC) I am interested in the following comparison:
I always believed that Goldsworthy was a similar type to Stokes - small forward, good pace, good disposal & being a left footer (which appears desirable to AFL recruiters) - I wondered why he was overlooked in any Drafts.
Although (at his best) not as old as McGregor;
1. Did you rate Goldy - in terms of AFL Rookie List @ least?
2. Compared with McGreggor, which is/was the better player between the two?
Finally at least someone who actually asks for some decent feedback. I was at the Sturt game and I was extremely impressed by Goldsworthy very silky skills, again probably a bit small for AFL footy. without doubt Goldsworthy is a better footballer than McGregor, I find it interesting people are saying the conditions were poor and that's why Loccy had a bad game, now I'm sorry if your small you have to dominate those games. If you look at modern football all guns midfielders are over 6 foot. Ultimately both those players are two short and probably don't have the leg speed. But if I had to pick, Goldsworthy is the better player and a better chance to get picked up.
I was actually thinking 'Draft' back a few years - around the 2011 Flag year, even 2012, for Goldy.
Is Stokes any bigger than him?
Perhaps now, but not when he was drafted by Geelong I would've thought.
Interesting comparison
