Didak v A. Davey

[flagpie]

Having a debate with a Melbourne supporter from work about who is better out of Didak and Aaron Davey.

I can't believe he thinks Davey is better and am curious who opposition clubs would rather have out of the two.

Looking for opinions outside of the Collingwood-Melbourne supporters ...

As a Collingwood supporter I won't vote but it's a very interesting comparison.
Didak has all the skill in the world and one of the most lethal right foots in the game, but Davey's marking ability and strenght at centa-half forward are a highlight.

exactly why Collingwood supporters shouldn't vote.....

Exactly why Melbourne supporters should spend more time at the snow and less in bed.

probably davey, if he'd been coached by a proper coach he'd be the best player in the comp by now.

Alwyn is better than both of them

Alwyn Davey isn't fit to carry Didak's bag to the game.

As a Collingwood supporter, I would've expected you to realise that Didak is a left footer

Thanks Sandra.

I get the feeling Didak is gonna have a breakout season this year with Bucks gone, take his game to the next level

Didak easily. The guy is a magician.

A better debate would be Didak vs Steve Johnson

Didak is the better player. The Melbourne supporter at your work has NFI.

Yes, he is a notoriously poor judge ... While I think Davey is a very good player and would take him at Collingwood, I do believe Didak is of higher quality.

It's nice to hear that from a Melbourne supporter.

That's a tough one. Both very classy players. Johnson only reinforced that against Melbourne yesterday.

I'm not sure I can split them.

Even off the field, they have their similarities as well, unfortunately!

 

[Dundalis]

Didak V Johnson is a far better comparison than Didak V Davey. A better comparison for Davey would be Leon Davis as they are actually similar players. Johnson probably has the wood slightly on Didak, but Didak IMO can make the transition to elite midfielder, while Johnson will always be a forward. Didak and Johnson for me are the best kicks for goal in the league in open play.

Didak and Davey are 2 completly different players and they both offer 2 different things in there game.

Didak is on the verge of being a top player whilst Davey could be anything if he is played in the Midfield.

Id probably take Davey though.

 

[RandB]

Both are obviously attcking players but Davey can run down opponents and turn a bad situation into a good one. Tackling doesn't come to mind when I think of Didak as a player. But as pointed out in other posts they are different players and quite dangerous in their own rights.

 

[Swanny36]

Didak by far only a couple of months older than davey and already has an All-Australian under his belt with plenty more to come!
and has played 40 more games than davey!
And is just sheer class!
But i do agree also with RandB

didak no contest......

but davey should be better with his all attributes...

his speed, agility and the ability to break tackles or get of them are exceptional but he isn't using them to his full capacity

You kidding?

When he is played as a small forward he is nigh on unstoppable when it comes to reaching a loose ball, however he doesn't really have the ability to break tackles, it just looks that way because when someone gets a hand on him his pace allows him to simply run away from them.

Didak has consistency, Davey doesn't, Didak has performed in crunch games, Davey hasn't.

I could argue that Davey if he gets his head right could become a better player, but if I was picking between the two now, I'd take Didak.

just can't kick right foot to well didak. Although doesn't look as stupid as scott lucas
