who friggin cares, there both very different players.

Oh yeah, Mitchell, Brown, Ladson, Ries, Williams, Osborne, yup Hodge is the only shining light down at Glenferrie.

Evidently you care, or else you wouldn't be posting here. Moron.

Hodge's career, two years, 30 games.
Didak's first two years 24 games. Overall Didak 49 games, ave 16.33 a year, Hodge 15 a year.

If Hodge is never on the field then neither is Didak. At least Hodge has been an automatic selection since his debut, Didak was in and out of the side his first two years.

You don't quite get it do you? What is Didak's competition for a place in the FP? One Leon "donuts" Davis. Even then Didak often starts on the bench.

Stop lauding your own player, statistically and logically Hodge is miles in front and the gap will only continue to increase.

You tell others to stop lauding their own player, yet look at your Nick :) doesnt quite make sense. Both classy players but very different, both will be good at their roles in the years to come.

Hodge_is_God,
if you cast your mind back to the prelim (yes those elusive things called finals) leon davis kicked three goals. At one point he beat ****erneen to get one. sounds like fair competition. Besides him there was Dane Swan pushing for Didak's spot. And no you haven't heard of him because didak has his spot.

I would prefer Didak. Not just because I am a Collingwood supporter, but because I think Collingwood have enough in and under players and don't need a Luke Hodge in their side. For starters because we've got youngsters like Luke Shackleton coming through, and finally, because Hodge is yet to cause headaches against a team that is actually half decent. His 3 last quarter goals against the Demons were exactly that.... against the Demons.

Hodge- Versatile, agressive (can be a -ive eg. free kicks), phisical presence, can take a contested grab, kick from outside 50 and has a laser left foot. Leader on the field.

I know who I'd prefer.

Agree with some of what you've said....But it says something about the Hawks in general though doesn't it !!!

Hodge has shouldered more of the load at Hawthorn and been given the opportunity more so than Didak at Collingwood.

Didak has progressed very well at Collingwood and has for long periods been kept in "cotton wool", for example, played off the bench and allowed to mature without the need to spend much time on the ball and be bashed around before he's ready.

Both are extremely classy players, but Didak has at least proved that he can handle the added pressure of finals. Been far from disgraced as a small forward in 2 grand finals.

Yes, i know of finals, i've seen us win five flags, how many have you seen?

So Davis kicked three Wanganeen (who's side was getting pumped anyway and probably wasn't checking Donuts as closely as he normally would because he's crap) big deal, how many did he get in the granny? or last year's? I thought so.

Just digging yourself in deeper if you think Dane Swan rates a mention as compared to either Hodge or Didak. Believe it or not i know of Dane Swan, will be a handy player, but he's no star.

Either way, you've begun comparing Didak to Swan and Donuts, game set and match. Try again junior.

Oh, and BTW, why do you only respond to a part of what i wrote, your last post was so pathetic it was laughable...

In the original thread Porthos rated Riewoldt/Koschitzke/Didak over Hodge/Judd/Ball. I agree.

I feel Hodge has more potential than Didak but has not realized it yet. Didak is a year ahead, so as you'd expect he has accomplished more. Hodges injury prone body doesn't bode well for the future, hopefully he overcomes it and plays a great career.

Anyway I reckon Jonathon Brown is better than both of them.;)

Hodge is very good, perhaps hasn't lived up to his no 1 draft pick tag, but he's certainly better than that collingwood fag (nice rhyme btw) Didak, who really is a primma donna, he's football style is all hype and no substance, he never goes in for the hard balls and is a typical reciever.
he's a soft as they come.
At least Hodge chases and tackles, does the one percenters .

Try looking thru BOTH eyes for a change.............

When Hodge starts drilling goals from the boundary 60 out and actually influencing some games rather than just kicking the odd piercing kick out of defense as a loose man be sure to alert me.

Didak influencing games? So actually getting touches in junk time and kicking cheap goals is influencing?

Hodge will be a far, far better player. The only query over him is staying on the park. Didak is limited.

Don't rate them against what their team has done or whether they've done a couple of good things or not.
Rate them on their own personal footballing attributes.
Kick accuracy, marking, handballing, courage, run, sight etc.

Rate those and whilst both display good attributes, Hodge is the more complete player. By a fair way.

It's laughable the way some of you say player X is better than player Y because he's played in a GF or kicked a matchwinning goal or something like that.

Lethal Leigh Matthews never won a Brownlow. Neither did Barassi or Whitten. Try telling me that either of those 3 are inferior to Goodes or Black or even Akermanis? What rubbish.

didak is a flanker,
hodge is being groomed for a leadership role in central midfield.
if it stays that way, end of story.

Didak needs to be more than a mercurial forward pocket, maybe he will develop and be more influential on the ball, but at the moment this all seems a little silly to me.

I think the best point is that Hodge made the top 6 in the B&F his first year. that strikes me as pretty impressive, with 15 games played only.

But for the main, while one guys is in the engine, and the other is windscreen wiper, the issue of importance seems redundent.

A tad unfair squeak.

Collingwood won only three more games than Hawthorn. Hodge was injured for seven. Hodge played backline, Didak played forwardline. Didak was knowhere to be seen in Collingwood's b&f.

Interesting but irrelevant fact: Hawthorn has beaten Collingwood 5 of the past 6 times or sumfin. Average margin pretty sizeable too. Hawthorn's only loss was in the middle of a big form slump. Later that year (02, i think) Hawthorn beat Collingwood by 40+ points. Got the wood on the Woods, pretty strange.

Didak is a pretty boy but i chose him he just has the power to change a game and excite the game where hodge doesnt. But i have to say that Tivendale is the best Accurate left footer in the game.

FIGJAM

29 Dec 2003, 15:37

How's about we let them grow up and cement whichever position they play in?

Having seen Didak play many games for Williamstown in the ressies, he's not a half bad inside midfielder. He isn't the bash and crash inside player that Hodge is, but he wins enough of it he's extraordinary in tight traffic.

Hodge is a very hard at the footy and the man (needs a bit more dicipline though) and has a Jarman-esque ability to ping the ball 50 metres at a low height and hit a player (as does Didak just quietly).

As it stands, Didak is given less time per game than Hodge and isn't given a run in the midfield (which is probably the second best midfield in the comp, thus very difficult to get into).

They both need more time to prove themselves and I think both of them will.

You are making this up and making yourself look like an idiot.

Didak played about 3/4 of the game on a half forward flank, had 13 posessions, kicked 3 goals 1 and set another goal up with his brilliant play. We had many bad players that day, but Didak was one of the few who could hold his head up high.

Think before you type in future!

Leon Davis is overrated by our Club and our supporter base.

Didak though is underrated and underplayed by Malthouse. I'd love to find out the percentage of game time he plays. At a guess, I reckon it'd be around 60%.

We as a supporter base appreciate that he is out most naturally talented player, but most of us, including myself, realise that he has to do more.

It sure as hell wouldn't hurt if Malthouse gave him more time though!

And as for delusional, what's the difference in us talking up Didak and your mob talking up Cupido??

Dids by a mile, I am biased and don't take much notice on other teams players all that much. I believe MM has held back Didak during 2003 the kid is only 20 y/o remember, he will get better. Much better! On and off the field he has a maturity beyond his years that is being allowed to naturally develop but is also being helped along by being included in the Pies leadership group quite a lot.

29 Dec 2003, 20:03

As a Collingwood supporter i have voted for Didak.

I think alot of people see him as only a forward and not a midfielder which is where he will spend alot more time this season. Hodge imo hasnt shown as much as Didak and i cant see him being better. Thats not because i rate Didak so much cos im a pie supported but because he will be a more versatile and damaging player. Hodge no doubt will be a good player but not as damaging as Didak.

And on a side note I feel the same judgement is passed on alot of players at Collingwood. Because it seems that they have been around for a while and havent shown much yet most started playing seniors there 1st or 2nd season they are so young and develpoing there games .I think sometimes people pass judgement on Collingwood plyers just on their dislike for the club.

Just My Opinion.

29 Dec 2003, 23:20

Hodge is slightly better than Didak right now.
Hodge will at least become a good servicable player and at most an elite midfielder (top 5 in the league).
Didak will at least become hot and cold goalsneak and at most a magnificent elite midfielder not unlike Akermanis.
For those of you saying Didak doesn't chase, tackle or have any 2nd or 3rd efforts, you people need to open your eyes up just a little bit. The work rate of Didak, Tarrant (one of the hardest working forwards in the comp) and Rocca in the forward line is one of the major reasons behind the success of the Collingwood forward line. If you don't believe me look at just one example in the game vs. St. Kilda, the ball spills to a St. Kilda player and Didak tackles, the ball is dished off quickly to another St. Kilda player who then dishes off to a team mate under pressure who is immediatly tackled by Didak, the ball falls to the ground and Rhyce Shaw kicks a goal.
One of Didak's best games he played was in the midfield vs. Sydney round 21 this year. He gathered 22 or so disposals delivering precise balls inside 50. His ability to create space is great, one of his trade marks is passing 45 metres to a team mate only to get it back in space after running hard (his first goal in the QF was one of these). He also picks the ball up cleanly and has good accelleration (his speed and accelaration is underated IMO).
Didak should not be labled as only another small flashy forward, we could just as easily label Hodge as a solid small defender.
Although I am biased I would take Didak as I think he has more room for improvement, however he could just as well end up as a hot and cold goal sneak, where as Hodge is a less riskier player, i.e. he will at worst be a solid contributor.

I think you people are overlooking Didak due to the mass hype surrounding his 2 goals in the QF and all the pre-season hype and due to his flashy nature he is one of those players who is often overlooked and thought of being "overrated".

And I'd love to see the percentage of goals he kicks that are in "junk time", or are after others upfield have done the tough work, and he gets a cheap goal. I reckon that'd be about 60% too.........

Interesting comparrison, but yeah, Daks wins because of his hair-cut!!
I still ain't gay or nuffin', but since me post in 2003, I must profess to be deeply disappointed in Didak's current conservative haircut.

I think they're now starting to live up to the hype, but I'd like both players to show more flair in the hair department before I commit either way.

It's no coincidence that Cam Bruce has moved up a notch since his fancy hairdo!

Yeah Didak is a crap kick, that is why his kicking style is used by the AIS as an example of the correct way to kick the ball.

Hodge has done absolutely nothing in the AFL , apparently he played a few good ones in the VFL but that is about it. Maybe he will be better but at this stage in terms of actual performance Didak has played finals and helped win them.

Hodge is just another Dermie/Dunstall over-hyped player who has not done a thing, up their with the 'altletic freak who cannot get a kick' Williams.
hodge has averaged 30 possesions for 5 games before last week when he dropped down to 29... don't think he is that bad really....

this thread is quite funny when you read back thru it and find all the morons goin on about how good didak is and how hodge is the worst number 3 pick ever....just a note, he was number 1.
i guess their are alot of crystal balls that have been turfed out after hodges performances this year.

Hodge is just another Dermie/Dunstall over-hyped player who has not done a thing, up their with the 'altletic freak who cannot get a kick' Williams.
how many goals did williams kick this year?

it pays to just say, "we'll wait and see what happens".

Sorry to say people i aint voting they both play very different positions on the ground with didak forward pocket and hodge back flank/ in the middle so its a waste of a vote if people are going to do polls do polls with people who play same area of the ground so its a fair poll :D

you miss the point of this thread being here FLEMO. it was put up sometime in 2003 when someone had a brainfreeze and decided to compare didak to hodge. mainly cos hodge hadn't yet 'proven himself'.

i just bumped it up because i saw it and it made me laugh.

Hodge now by a mile, but wait, Didak will be back next year. Horrible pre-season 2004/2005 with injury and is set for a big one. He will spend the majority of his time in the midfield, and just wait, he will be a star. He cut the Hawks to shreads in the final term of round 9.

Yes, Hodge is a gun, and was my tip for the Brownlow, and also in 2006, but Didak will show all.
