Barely averages over 20 possys a game and is a b grader at best.
If that's your first appointment Balme you might as well stuff off now u old fool
Incorrect, he's a jet. Better than Prestia IMO.
Based on what?
Looking purely at performance to date, not to mention longevity (both have injury concerns yet Prestia is much younger), Prestia is worlds ahead of Hartlett at this stage and will have a longer future ahead of him as well.
Worlds ahead?! Really?
Purely from my own subjective point of view HH is far more polished. His disposal is A grade. He can do things that few others can; bullock through packs find space and slam goals from 50.
He also spends a lot of time across the half forward line which may explain his disposal numbers. Make no mistake, he is a genuine A grader.
Did some analysis and they're likely too different to compare fairly.
In arguably his two best years HH played 44 games and kicked 37 goals between 2013-2014. Averaged 20.8 disposals. Hardly Brett Deledio's numbers but I suppose they're honest. Not what I would call A-grade though. Averaged 8.5 contested possessions and 3.8 tackles/game.
In the same years Prestia played 42 games and kicked 19 goals whilst averaging 26.3 disposals (remember he is also two years younger and GCS were smashed those years whereas Port played finals both times). Averaged 10.5 contested possessions and 4.5 tackles. Definitely better numbers I think.
As for disposal efficiency you are on the money - HH went at 73% in 2015 and 72% in 2016. Dion went 67% and 62%. However given the disposal, CP and tackle figures you could argue Prestia is a more inside-mid, which is what we need more IMO.
