Opinion Dustin Martin is better than Dangerfield

[SkillsMachine]

Yes and no. Disposal and creativity are fairly important factors in forward play. Jack is a better mark. One on one mark, hangers and pack marks. Nick many more lead up marks. But as I said, Nick was the ultimate all round player and great captain.

Nick was overated as hell imo. His engine was unbelievable but what did all that running get him? Couldn't kick clutch goals when it counted and it probably cost them a flag.

 

[SkillsMachine]

In the top 20 players of the past 20 years but not in front of Ablett, Danger, Selwood, Fyfe, Pendlebury, Mitchell, Hayes etc. Current hype is absurd!

Are you kidding? 2 norm smiths, 2 flags, a brownlow and its hype? When has danger got it done when it counted? Can't even get to a gf. Cant kick either.

A tad harsh. Suggest you take that on the Melb. board.

Take it back to Mildura son.

Nah I'm not. Good 3 years and rated appropriately during the rest. Has about that many AA too. I'll admit his last 3 seasons have been better than Selwoods and that's about as big a compliment as one can get.

An amazing 3 years and a really good rest of the career easily accounts for Dangers career IMO. These 3 years he's played has changed the club forever.

There is really no doubt anymore who the better player is.
It appears Dangerfield may have hit his peak a year ago and is somewhat beginning to decline ever so slightly. He's still one of the top 10 midfielders in the game but he is not what he was in 2016.
Still produces insane flashes of brilliance such at that left foot goal from a standing start 55 metres out (something Martin could never do). Other than that, his peak as the no.2, no.3 player in the game was short lived.

Martin never seems to waste any of his disposals. Makes the right choices more times than not.

Bit early to say he's on decline after one poor game V the games best tagger.

Yes it is as I have watched him closely.
He's not what he was and a lot of it has to do with carrying the team just as Selwood did for years before him.

Not sure about this, still has his pace and played against last years #2 team and had the best tagger in the AFL on him. Also played in an empty stadium - might take a couple of players time to adjust. Worst case his the 5th best mid in the game (behind Fyfe, Dusty, Cripps & Bont). IMO his top 3.

 

[Brick Loosener]

Yeah, I love Jack as much as the next Tiger supporter, but Nick's got him covered in most areas of forward play I would've thought, apart from durability, disposal and instinctive creativity.

Jack's got Nick covered in turning up in GF's.

Danger can't finish like Dustin

Both break tackles and lines, but Danger blasts away and usually turns it over, or kicks a behind

Im really glad this comparison is put to bed.

Danger simply doesn't have the composure of Dusty. Miles apart.

[kranky al]

yeah dusty is a champion - danger is just very good.

danger i think will be a better player just left forward - really think he can become an absolute superstar in front of goal where he belongs

 

[Captain_Bender]

Danger is the worst Brownlow medalist since Priddis and Woedodin

 

[BruceTempany14]

I’m looking forward to the tribunal thus week which is where Dangerfield will be sent .
He ain’t fit to carry Dusty’s jock strap !!
Dangerfield is only as good as the herald sun and SEN Make him out to be .
Smug , still no medallion .

The only significant difference between Dusty and Danger is Cotchin and Selwood.

As a result Dusty will go down as one of the greatest players of all time, where Danger will be forgotten in 25 years. Great leaders bring the best out of others, and in Cochin, Richmond nailed it.

 

[Jaeger]

Also Martin makes things happen without relying on frees.

 

[AFLOnline]

Yep, this game shows the clear difference for me. Dustin the better player overall along with a better career.

he’s still behind Nat Fyfe though imo.

dusty brings out the best as does cotch

- pushing it off to selwood is rubbish - selwood is a champ and a great captain who leads from the front.

danger is the me me me show

and when it got tough dusty got even tougher and dangerfield played for frees.

wow

i dont know how you can justify that

 

[JackFlash]

Martin is by far the better player, Dangerfield would struggle to get a game with the Richmond of 2020.
