Mark Robinson has an article today comparing Franklin and Carey. John Longmuir who played with Carey at his best and has coached Franklin can't split them

On paper Franklin has him covered but to be honest I think Carey was the better player mainly around his marking ability and that he really carried North for a good while.
Carey played 272 games and kicked 727 goals
Franklin has played 300 games so far and has kicked 944 goals

Who do you think was the better player and I'd appreciate it if you would explain why?
