oh boy oh boy des headland. i know i lay into old pettifer for being soft and unaccountable but at 186 and 92kg headland would be the softest weakest prick in the comp.i dont know if i have ever seen dzzy put his head over the ball.
to compare headland and prismall well it just aint on.

To be fair to Scoop, Claw I think it was a comparison as a 5th or 6th ranked (in the team) onballer.
Not so much a comparison as to how they play.

But I do agree with you that Prismall will put his body on the line and his head over the ball. dessie, pfft

The two are polar opposites Claw, blind freddy can see that.

I was referring to going from a 5th ranked onballer to dealing with being a priority target to stop every week.
Headland has never had a better year then the year before he went to Freo. Look it up.

Agree with the "poor player at good club" syndrome, and I have a feeling that Prismall may fall into this category. Nothing against him but nothing O have seen him do has convinced me he is a run of the mill player whose reputation is 90% built on him being at the Cats.

Headland carries the flag at the march for this group...he is a walking talking definition of a CAT.
