Re: Bradd Dalziell
IMO another game in the ressies may yet be on the cards xplo.
I’m uncertain if it was a knock/cramp or not quite match fit but Bradd looked a little sore towards the end of the 4th quarter.

Re: Bradd Dalziell
Did he really do that?
I felt that earlier this season, Dalziell was considerably more fumbly and not as clean with his hands as he was last year. I also noticed that Dalziell was handballing a lot more than last year, which made me think that it might have been just him having less time to be composed due to increased pressure and checking from the opposition, and perhaps adapting to the new game plan.

Re: Bradd Dalziell
I've noticed a fair decrease in the number of floating handballs from our blokes recently, with shorter, flatter passes becoming more common. I've got no problem with Dazzle's kicking, but he did tend to lack penetration with his handballs. Hopefully he's been working on it while out with the knee.
To be honest I think he'll need to play some pretty outstanding footy in the ressies or he'll be waiting for injuries to get a spot. We seem to have a lot of run at the moment already and the blokes under the spotlight play totally different roles. To be honest I can only think of Power, Black (and maybe Brennan and Stiller at times) who have played that outside running, receiving mid role that Dazzle was doing (while obviously starring in other roles too). I'd suggest Dazzle will need to prove he can get his own pill as well or show significant inside grunt (ala Stiller) before he gets another geurnsey.

Re: Bradd Dalziell
Against the Cats, we desperately need another player who can find the ball...and plenty of it.
Dal in for either Harding or TJ
I'd prefer it to be for TJ but suspect that Harding will be the one to make way.

Brad Dalziell earns Brisbane Lions call-up for Fremantle AFL clash
Andrew Hamilton | July 17, 2009 12:00am
Dalziell and Jared Brennan replace injured duo Jed Adcock and Matt Austin in the side that will meet a Dockers outfit still reeling from last week's 117-point humiliation by the Adelaide Crows.
Fremantle have dropped Ryan Murphy and Clayton Hinkley while Byron Schammer is out with a calf injury, and youngsters Andrew Foster, Adam Campbell and Clancee Pearce come into the side.
Dalziell hails from WAFL club East Fremantle and has played a handful of second-tier games at the home of WA football.
But it is more his natural affinity for wide open spaces than any real sense of familiarity that earned the hard-running midfielder a recall after a long layoff with a k nee injury.
Subiaco Oval is huge and the player that is prepared to run the hardest and longest will be rewarded.
"I've been out for 10 weeks now, I put in some big performances in the reserves and happily I'm back in the team," Dalziell said of being selected to play his first game since round 5.
"We talked about how Subiaco Oval is about 20m longer than the Gabba, there's going to be a need for a lot of running and hopefully I can fill that void."
The 22-year-old may be a beneficiary of Michael Voss's horses for courses selection policy, but he also fits perfectly into the first-year coach's other golden rule - that players must force their way into the seniors with form.
Under Voss there is no pecking order, knock the door down and you'll get a start or when there is an opening through injury the best performer of the previous few weeks gets the nod to play.
Adcock's injury-enforced absence was covered by the return of Brennan, the side's star utility.
Austin spent an extended period on the sidelines during last week's victory over Geelong. He was able to finish the match but with doubts over his fitness, Voss was quick to opt for Dalziell.
His form in the reserves had left him with little choice.
Last week he stamped his name on the team sheet by collecting 39 touches, taking 20 marks and kicking three goals.
"I got a few touches, it is always nice to get a hold of the ball and I think I've been doing that over the past month," he said.
"The biggest thing was finding some form and match fitness, my knee pulled up fine and I didn't lose too much condition.
"It was just trying to get clean hands and touch up on my skills before I came back into the senior side."
Dalziell joins Simon Black, Daniel Rich, Mitch Clark and Ash McGrath in a strong WA contingent who will play for the Lions .
"It is always good to get home and I can't wait to play in front of my family and friends," Dalziell said.

Re: Bradd Dalziell
Brian Taylor on AFL Team last night - Dalziell, dunno where he's been this season.
Good work BT. All over it.
As someone who wasn't overly impressed with Dazzle's form early on this season, I will be very interested to see how he goes. He needs to improve his disposal - I thought he was one player who didn't adapt to Vossy's higher risk game plan - a more methodical type of footballer and the slightly manic way that we now play, particularly with the emphasised use of the corridor, caused Dazzle some concern.
He seemed to spend a bit of time on half back before his injury so could conceivably take Jed's spot. More likely is that we'll change our structure slightly to add Dazzle into the midfield rotation, allowing someone like Shermo to spend a little more time up forward. If he's going to play well anywhere, it will be Subi.

Re: Bradd Dalziell
yeah, I heard the panel on Fox's AFL Teams last night too...none of them knew where Dalziell had been or that he's been back in the magoos for 4 weeks or so....very unprofessional of them, all of them..... he doesn't pay for a Vic team so they didn't know
I saw Dalziell play in Darwin for the 2s and his ability to get to the right spot and get the ball (win or receive) was very impressive but he missed a few targets. Hopefully with a bit more match practice his disposal will have improved......also in some ways it's easier in a better team as long as you don't feel the time pressure.

Re: Bradd Dalziell
I can't believe how, in the space of less than one full season, this bloke has gone from being a potential champ to just about a trade dud.
OK, Dalziell's disposal is less than adequate, but surely this is true of a number of others in the side as well, and they haven't got anything like the record of high possession-getting that Dalziell has.
Take Proud- his disposal is very average, ditto Rischa and Harding. And this trio has been given every allowance for their deficiencies over an extended period. Stiller and Sheldon similarly have less than perfect kicking skills.
It's pretty clear to me that one area we are poor in is in link-up play, and this is Dalziell's strength. He isn't an in-and-under type, but even though each of the trio mentioned above is better at this than Dalziell, they definitely aren't Simon Black clones.
If Voss is down on Dalziell because he isn't cast in the coach's mould, well very few are in all honesty.
I reckon getting the pill is the hard bit- if Dalziell's disposal can be improved then I think he is very good value. Not the sort of trade we should be looking at, in my opinion.
Be interested in what others think.

Re: Bradd Dalziell
Depends if you think, lke me, that the inital excitement was over the top. Shows why disposal counts aren't the be-all-and-end-all. If anyone remembers the debut of Nathan Clarke years ago the situations aren't dissimilar I feel.

Re: Bradd Dalziell
Razzle has had a poor run with injury, now in my experience of playing footy with super fit blokes (i know it is at a much lower level) but they are so confident in themselves when they are supremely fit, coming back from injury takes a greater toll on them because they need full fitness for their confidence.
Razzle will spend the offseason working on his ability to carry the ball and deliver at pace effectively making him an 70-90metre footballer everytime he gets the pill.
I would also expect to see more muscle mass on him to help his tackling. We want razzle to be a mow them down from behind footballer when we don't have the pill.

Re: Bradd Dalziell
I'm yet to hear anything stating he's out of contract or going into the PSD. Given the Lions' habit of not commenting on contracts, it wouldn't surprise me if they extended his initial contract at some point over the last 18 months for at least a year so unless you have a source you care to point us to I think it's reasonable to assume he's still under contract.

Re: Bradd Dalziell
I agree that some of the initial Dalziell hype was a bit OTT, but no less than, eg, for Proud and Henderson who have done far less IMO to justify the accolades that appear repeatedly throughout these pages with, to my mind, not much to justify it as this stage of their development .
And sure, stats can be very misleading. But no side can afford to have a pretty solid group that consistently gets less than 10 poss's as we have, week in and out.
Apart from his tremendous kicking, I never rated Nathan Clarke as anything like a fully-rounded footballer. Also, I don't remember him as a high possession winner, but no doubt someone will correct me.

Re: Bradd Dalziell
How do you know he hasn't re-signed?
Anyway, it wouldn't surprise me if there were a number of players who still haven't re-signed at this point of the year. BigFooty supporters have a mentality of signing players early to trap the players at the club, but I don't believe the club works that way. They would rather take their time and get everything right.

Re: Bradd Dalziell
Traded to West Coast:
pick 28 and Dalziell for Staker, Buchanan and pick 39.
His style should suit the open expanses at Subiaco.
