Re: Round 1 - Blues v Tigers (21 March)
Reply #167 –
Carazzo wasnt a hacker at all even in the early stages......comparing the two in their second year.... Carazzo(20 games) averaged twice as many possies, 16 to 8(rounded up).....Polsen(12 games) is a ball butcher with a quarter of his possies in his second year as clangars...Carazzo averaged around 1.3 clangars per game....
Carrazzo in his 3rd year was good for 20 possies a game and in his 4th year went at 25......hardly D grade hacker material.
Polsen isnt even close to Carazzo.......Carazzo could tag effectively and find the ball........Polsen can tag, but cant find the footy and butchers it better than most........
The kid tackles ok and gives effort but has a substandard skillset and isnt a natural ballwinner.........
Carrazzo started in 2002 and couldn't get a regular game until his fourth year in the system at the age of 21. Polson is about to start his third year in the system and has just turned 21. At the same age, Carrazzo had played two games (3 seasons) to Polson's 12 (2 seasons).
Carrazzo developed into a very good player, but he was a D grade hacker at the start of his career.
