Yeah nah. I know he played for another team but the knocks on NDS are over the top.
I'm not inside the 4 walls but I can't help but suspect the change in our performance with 2nd half leads from 2013 to 2014 had a lot to do with Dal. Such a cool head. Influence greater than his stats, which I doubt anyone could claim for Basti from our vantage point.

I'm sad to see him go - reckon he's a very good player with occasional problems about getting up for games - leading to lapses in his tackling and smothering. But who likes throwing themselves on other players' boots anyway?!

Thanks Basti,

I've been a big critic but you've been a solid citizen for us during some challenging times. Best of luck up North, hope you get the midfield opportunities you need to get the best out of your career.

I reckon he will thrive at another club.

The end of his 2013 form, where he was averaging 30 disposals and kicking bags of 3 and 4 goals at will was incredible. Showed me that when he gets it together he can easily make it as an A-grade midfielder.

Sad to see him go but it's probably best for all parties, best of luck Basti! Just make sure your future father sons come to us.
