Didak deserved his spot in the AA team. He had a great season and AA was thoroughly deserved. It is good to see him turn himself from a player with a lot of talent into one of the elite players in the competition.
I don't know why people are so angry with him being AA. Is it because he plays for Collingwood or do people actually believe he did not belong in the AA team? If it is the later you obviously haven't seen him play more than once or twice this season. If it is the former, grow up.

As good as didaks year was i would have chapman ahead of him. I would have had Lucas over Hall and Johncock over Mcleod

A little bit of both I would say. The fact foxdoog has Mark Williams as an option in this poll illustrates that he has no fecking idea.

Giving Didak a spot in the AA team is one of the most hilarious and bizarre decisions in the history of this award. :)

Didak deserved his place in the AA side.

Agreed. I've a feeling foxdoog is hunting for approval that Chapman should be there ahead of Didak. Anyone else feel that way?

Well Prawn he did kick over 60 goals for the year. The 2nd most of any small foward, and his name was in the AFL website as a player who was unlucky to miss out! thanks Prawn

Didak is a Half Forward Flanker and was chosen there. Farmer is a Forward Pocket. Why put a forward pocket on the HFF?

I don't think he deserved his spot. Rather Farmer who won more games for the Dockers at the important part of the season, and little Chappy is ahead of him too.

Sorry doog but Williams did not kick over 60 goals this year. Here are his stats:
Games Kicks Marks H/b Ave Poss. Goals Behinds
20 143 93 34 8.85 60 25
A half-forward flank who averages under 9 possessions a game getting in the AA team? You have got to be kidding. Granted, he did average 3 goals per game but all this illustrates is that he is more of a forward pocket player. The AFL site said he was unlucky to miss out? It must be true then.
Didak's stats by comparison?
Games Kicks Marks H/b Ave Poss. Goals Behinds
23 280 136 116 17.22 41 23
Add to that his high number of goal assists and your argument is sitting on very shaky ground sir.
Look, I can see why you are a tad irate with Chapman missing out and all. He did have a pretty good season but so did others. Some were always going to be unlucky to miss out.
Just don't disrespect yourself by arguing Williams case against Didak's.

Hahaha!
I get it now N_O
I used to think you were a total troll amongst many other things that i cant say here. but i finally get it! my mistake was taking what u say seriously.

Can anyone get the stats on goal assists for Didak?
From memory he was up there in the top 3 for this stat.

OPTION 1
I would put Cousins there personally...he even said as much himself, as did Juddy and Cox that he is primarily a HFF these days, pinch hitting in the midfield. Then i would have put Burgoyne/Dal Santo at Rover and chucked Didak on the bench.
OPTION 2
Put Pav on the flank, as he is very versatile and many people seem to liken him more to a roaming HFF then a KPP anyway, and put Didak on the bench.
I think Didak deserved to be in the team. But not on when you look at how they layed it out.

I hate the little piece of ****, but he's a damn good player and deserved his spot.
This talk of him not deserving it is ridiculous.

Farmer 52 goals > Didak 41 goals.
33 goals in the last 9 games for Freo.

Should have put Scott Lucas on a HFF!
Before you say he's not a HFF, what about all the other players put in out of position eg. Hall, Reiwoldt

Well make the case of Farmer being ahead of Riewoldt.

Yep and i will make a case for Riewoldt being a better HFF than Didak,

Yes so do that. But people suggesting Farmer and Williams should be in ahead of Didak is just plain stupid.

Riewoldt may not play there but he would be very effective in a forward pocket.
Farmer and Williams at HFF? I think they would be looking for someone who can average more than a dozen possessions a game and kick goals at the same time.

Fact is he should be, Could have had either Riewoldt or Johnson (plays FF and in the centre) on the half forward line, then Farmer in the FP
Riewoldt may not play there but he would be very effective in a forward pocket.
Farmer and Williams at HFF? I think they would be looking for someone who can average more than a dozen possessions a game and kick goals at the same time.
So what, now they picking the AA teams on what a bloke "Could Do" in that position :rolleyes:
Nobody has said to put Farmer on the Flank, that is just plan stupid and for you to suggest is even dumber

Cam Bruce either on the HFF or put cousins on the flank and bruce in the middle
