Opinion (Bring in Didak) - Keep Didak in?

[DermiesLuvChild]

I think goals are what he needs & a few defensive efforts, with some pace.
Some x factor stuff would be a bonus.

 

[tommyv49]

named as sub, probably 1 goal and 6-9 possessions would be a pass. Or just 1 shimmey would get him over the line for me

Hi guys I'm new to this site.
My favourite players are the players of Daicos quality.
For what it's worth I'd like to point out in 2010 we had Didak (leading goal kicker and we won the big one)
In 2011 we had Krakouer (Runner up), In 2012 we had Krakouer (Preliminary final)
In 2013 we have.... (Dids and Krak are in VFL).
Who brings that daicos spirit to our forward line?
I remember the feeling in 2010 and 2011 of anything being possible as long as either Dids or Krak were in the team.
That thought in 2011 Round 9 vs Adelaide when my Dad told me we lost and I said "there's still one quater left".
Bring back that magic, other teams will panic in defence.

I agree with you mate but it's hard to bring in Didak and Andy when the team is playing well. They have to wait for players to play bad - then they will get their chance.

Has he done enough to be in our best 22 for finals?

He has done enough to play next week, play him next week against quality opposition and see if he can run out a game and have a positive impact then decide.

If you had to pick between Elliot and Didak it would be a very hard decision

yes. we need his precision.

 

[HFF]

I'd say yes.

His footskills are still very much required and desired.

 

[jimmy35]

He got a few meaningless possessions against witches hats virtually. Good to see him kick that goal and everyone get around him but it was all pretty pedestrian.

 

[premierpies13]

Don't think he has done enough, truckload of cheap posessions across halfback

Are Didak and Elliot like for like?

Didak links up through the midfield with good foot skills and can push forward. Elliot likes to play deeper and is a better mark.

Depends what your team need more.

 

[brodie_dg]

Like others have said, give him a run next week against a side that'll actually have something to play for.

Tonight meant nothing.

Didak can't really play in the midfield anymore, more of a half forward who pushes onto the wing sometimes.

They aren't exactly like for like, but if Elliot comes back into the team Didak's spot will be under huge pressure a long with Kennedy

Didak finds the footy easier then Dwyer

I feel his the perfect sub and should be in the team over Dwyer

I think it is more Kennedy or Didak.

 

[sirene]

From what I understand, Elliot will not be ready next week; therefore, lets see what Dids can do. I would love his composure and silk in finals. (Though I do love Elliot too)

I missed Elliott when that long kick went in and Harry came from a few metres behind the pack and never looked like marking it, let alone taking a screamer like Elliott would have! Maybe next time Harry.

 

[wicksy]

Better than Dwyer and Kennedy but doesn't overtake Elliot in my opinion.
Still should play every game for the remainder of the year though.

Beams/Elliot in
Dwyer/Kennedy out

 

[mattys123]

This is nice;

 

[DaicosianMarvels]

If Didak is accused of getting cheap possessions and that he should be dropped for next week than you might as well drop Swan as well. They are both going no where.

Welcome back Dids!! He is a ball magnet and did everything he needed to do in the game time he played, I couldn't be happier of him.

I thought Dwyer did well tonight. Checked the stats and surprised he only got it 12 times. Must have really faded late as I think he was involved a fair bit in the first half. Seemed to be really aggressive and that mark running back with the flight was a highlight.

Love how a big chunk of the video is around 15 blokes getting around him after the goal

Dwyer does a hell more running and defensive work

That was the best part, I saw Nathan Brown run from the defensive 50 to join in, never seen a whole team run from everywhere, it was emotional.

[Shellz]

Every single player sprinted to him. Absolutely loved it. There were tears.


Go pies!!

 

[RobbyTMagpies]

Wow what a game. For those doubting Didak... he doesnt need to do anything. His presence alone lifts the team.
However I did notice he and Kennedy did NOT want to pass the ball to each other. Not good for the team.
Still as bias as I am I would choose didak any day over Kennedy.
On the bright side most of Didaks disposals were pinpoint accuracy even against an easy team.
Kennedy was good too but his mistakes were more noticable.
