Past Bradd Dalziell (2008-2009)

Re: Bradd Dalziell

Bradd got a mention on Footy Classified last night, they really didn't have all that much to say about him apart from comparing his statistics with other players that have started their careers well. Good to see he is starting to get noticed.

Re: Bradd Dalziell

Didn't get a rising star nomination again...

... but did make team of the week.

Team of the week

By Matt Burgan 9:52 AM Tue 19 August, 2008

B: Leigh Harding (North Melbourne), Luke McGuane (Richmond), Joel Patfull (Brisbane Lions)

HB: Michael Firrito (North Melbourne), Sam Fisher (St Kilda), Paul Wheatley (Melbourne)

C: Bradd Dalziell (Brisbane Lions), Jimmy Bartel (Geelong), Cale Morton (Melbourne)

HF: Nick Gill (Adelaide), Nick Riewoldt (St Kilda), Leon Davis (Collingwood)

F: Brent Harvey (North Melbourne), Travis Cloke (Collingwood), David Hale (North Melbourne)

FOLL: Brendon Lade (Port Adelaide), Shaun Burgoyne (Port Adelaide), Gary Ablett (Geelong)

I/C: Matthew Richardson (Richmond), Shane Tuck (Richmond), Scott Thompson (Adelaide), Cameron Bruce (Melbourne)

Bradd Dalziell (Brisbane Lions) – In just his fifth match, the 21-year-old midfielder continued his outstanding start to his AFL career. He was best-on-ground against the Bulldogs, winning 27 disposals.

The round 20 rising star nominee, Cale Morton, also made it on the other wing.

Re: Bradd Dalziell

Probably only needs to be 15th best on ground to get his rising star next week.

Re: Bradd Dalziell

What would Bradd's trade value be, we'd love to have him at the Swans.

Nick Davis, Luke Ablett and our first rounder for Dalziell and your fourth rounder? Would that cut it?

As silly as it sounds after only five games... Dazzle Is borderline untradeable IMO. I think we have something special here.

Not really that silly. Hard to see a player being traded after he has been close to your best player in his first 5 games.

Re: Bradd Dalziell

One thing I noticed about Dalziell is that he never seems to look buggered. Other players like Nigel Lappin and Robert Harvey can run and run but you can see the effort. Dalziell always looks like he could go up a gear.

That was what was good about his 4 bounce run on the wing. There was no sign of leg fatigue at the end and he was able to deliver the ball with poise and precision.

I don't think we've really seen him in a position where he's had to go flat out. I'd be interested to see a chase just to see how quick he can really go.

Yep. You just feel so confident when the pill is in Bradd's hands. Along with Black, he is the only other mid who you feel wont turn it over.

Loving your work Razzle

Re: Bradd Dalziell

I'd be happy if he turned out as good as someone like DalSanto(when in form)-anything more would be a bonus

 

[Tassie4ever]

Re: Bradd Dalziell

Pretty soon, maybe against Carltank, he'll cop a tag- hopefully he will run them into the ground, a la Simon Black, as well.

 

[Old Den]

Re: Bradd Dalziell

I have been thinking that in the past few days - the opposition will need more than one tagger to cover him

It's the skills and footy brains that he is taking to all parts of the ground that are really impressive

Which it is why it's puzzling that he has not got a RS nomination - that is the stuff they usually lap up and it is the talls that find it hard to get the nod

 

[xplo]

Re: Bradd Dalziell

He'll very likely get one this week. Sure he's probably deserved one before now, but I don't think there have been any other nominees that haven't deserved their nomination. For instance, Cale Morton has played 3/4th of the year at a high level, and, like Bradd, was BOG last week. Hard to begrudge him.

 

[acuguy]

Re: Bradd Dalziell

I will make the call now that i think Dalziell is almost impossible to tag due to the amount of ground that he covers, if he works hard he will eventually burn off his opponent. What a find!

 

[Lehmo87]

Re: Bradd Dalziell

Ok, I have been just as impressed with Dalziell's first 5 or so games but to start labelling him "impossible to tag" is a little premature, in my opinion. He's played 5 games, ffs! Next year will be very important for him - he can continue his incredible form or he can end up on the BF chopping block like a couple of other players have in recent weeks (and we all know how ruthless people on BF can be).

Re: Bradd Dalziell

Hopefully one of these days, they put that Channel 10 tracker thing on him, would be very interesting to see.

Bradd Dalzeill continued his whirlwind AFL debut in gathering 32-possessions, reducing Simon Black into the role of the support cast

Interesting game from Razzle tonight. Played a bit more inside - picked up 13 contested possessions which is outstanding but just needs to refine his handballing in tight a bit.

Only got 32 disposals so may just miss out on the rising star nomination again.

Re: Bradd Dalziell

When will be his next bad game?

Or is he a machine and the bet is not available????

Re: Bradd Dalziell

Should win the rising star. I'm talking about the whole thing!

haha

Seriously, if he doesn't get nominated this week the thing is rigged.

It is rigged, but he will get it.

It will be interesting to see what the selectors think.. IIRC it is a 5,4,3,2,1 voting system.. Imo his 6 games (banking on next week) have been better then any other nominee this year by a fair margin.. Should definitely figure in voting of 3's and below i would think.. Although Palmer probably has it sewed up..

I am not totally convinced on Rioli's season, and it would be a crime if Kruezer polls before Razzler based purely on hype. The kid has had a good first year, but Razzle would of had at least 4 games better then anything Kruezer has produced..

If the award was to go on how many brownlow votes recieved, i could see Dalziell getting second behind Palmer!!

At the rate he's going, his bad game would be 20 possessions.

Would he still qualify next year having played less than 10 games for the year or will his age preclude him?

 

[Quigley]

Re: Bradd Dalziell

He will be too old next year.

Re: Bradd Dalziell

The Herald Sun and afl.com.au had him with 32 possessions this week, 13 contested and 21 uncontested.

My abacus has broken, but that seems hard to work out
