A or B (or should that be G)?

Here’s a choice: two nearly identical players – medium sized mid-fielders / flankers with above average speed and agility, foot / hand skills and decision making ability. The differences between them are that the first is good in the air – can really launch and take a speccie, has outrageous offensive skills and confidence bordering on contempt; the second is better in-and-under, absolutely stare-down-the-water-buffalo fearless with tenacious, relentless defensive skills. Which one do you choose? No you can’t have both (it would be chronologically impossible).
 
Need both in the team so it would depend on balance of who the team mates are but I ahve a soft spot for option B. Players of that ilk are underated for their efforts yet their hard work makes life easier for the attacking and receiving type players.
 
Before the salary cap GR would have taken both for a Pelaco shirt and new Del Monti! ;D

Today's footy clubs are different beasts.  You must have at least one of each (or you will at the next draft with your early priority selections ;)), but always more of the latter.

I'm waiting to find out who the players are, TITN.
Hope it's a beauty.
 
I also prefer a player who does the tougher things, so I'd go for a b player. As Rosy said, the in and under player is definitely underrated.
 
I reckon we have enough in and under types (Cogs, Tuck, Foley) so I would go for the class distributor as we are not exactly top of the class in disposal.

Last week's game against Carlton highlighted our skill deficiency and our ball winning ability.
