    I wonder how OKeefe and Boumanns respective progress can be reasonably compared at this stage

    OKeefe played the whole season in the VFL seniors and finished top 10 in the VFL best and fairest, whilst Boumann played mainly VFL reserves level, and was up and down.

    IMO OKeefe is further ahead of Wood in terms of his development.

      Yes O'Keefe is further in his development but I think Wood has more development left and by the end of 2008 he wasnt that far behind. I think Wood has a lot more upside.
      But either way I dont mind which one gets a game first!!
      More of an In Bruges guy?

        Wood is perhaps more eye catching with his run and carry, but unless there is something I have missed about OKeefe I think he is going to be a very good player.

        He is quick, is a very good user of the ball by foot, a goal kicker and seems to be able to find plenty of it

        I'd see OKeefe being very much in line for a NAB cup opportunity.

          I agree BR .

          It is a no brainer we are talking about a footballer & an athlete.
          Okeefe is a better footballer now & will only get better as he gets fitter Imo.
