The Bryce Gibbs Versus Joel Selwood Watch: Round 1
These two young stars will forever be linked by the 2006 AFL National Draft. They will always be compared to each other and for the next 22 rounds, assuming they both keep playing in the senior teams, their progress will be monitored and their games will be judged.
Not only the statistics, but the big plays they make and how they help their teams win will be looked at. A winner for each round will also be announced.
As each of their teams is missing a special "K" player, Koutoufides and Kelly, both Gibbs and Selwood have a chance in the early rounds for plenty of playing time.
Both of these young players are similar, but different. While both players could have been competing against much older footballers for the past couple of years, only Gibbs was able to. Both will be great midfielders, Gibbs is a bit taller and Selwood is a bit heavier. Gibbs has already be named as part of Carlton's leadership group, Selwood is a future Geelong captain. Both players will also have a number 4 on their back, but with Joel Selwood there will also be the number 1 as his number is 14. Gibbs and Selwood have also been prepared for AFL careers by their families, Gibbs was able to learn from his father and also his pal Kernahan while Joel Selwood had Adam and Troy to watch.
At the end of the season the winning rounds for each player will be added up, and possibly it could show who the winner of the Rising Star award will be.
Gibbs will play his first AFL game against Richmond, and Selwood has been named in the Geelong team that plays the Bulldogs.
