By far the best games I have seen both play, but their combined output was still a long way from what Mirkov produces.I don't see much difference between Mirkov's very best so far and what Cripps or Akuei produced last weekend, to me the difference is almost indistinguishable.
I'm truly perplexed by the fan love for Mirkov based on what he has produced so far, ignoring what he may produce in the future because that would be just a guess, I dread he'll be the next Warnock which is all tap and no substance!
But the tell is in a replay, go and watch Rnd 7, the loss to Frankston, https://www.afl.com.au/vfl/matches/4216 when Mirkov collects 54 empty taps and has almost zero influence, while a handful of Reidy moments swing the game! That game basically put an end to Mirkov's progress for 2022!
