Opinion Dustin Martin is better than Dangerfield

[TigerMoz1973]

I've listened to radio replays of the prelim and it was amazing how much the game changed after half time.

Does anyone know if Dangerfield was injured and/or carrying something?

Yes I believe dangerflop was carrying an acute case of guilt

 

[PetterdHoisted]

Dangers effort against the Pies in the QF was monumental...reckon that's why he was fading by the 2nd half of the prelim..

YYYYYYAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWNNNN....Barry Badbreath. No Martin is not better than Dangerfield but he plays in a better team!

He's much better. Clearly. Head and shoulders. It's not even close.

Are we not comparing individual players or great players in great teams?

Nathan Buckley, Robbie Flower, Bobby Skilton & Haydn Bunton all considered legends of their clubs and in the greatest players to ever play the game.

Never won any VFL/AFL premierships are are never marked down for doing so.

Nathan Buckley is a Collingwood great but he would not rate above a player like Michael Voss.

Pendlebury would be rated over Bucks now played over 300 games & has a flag.

Maybe somebody should start a Voss v Buckley v Hird thread.

There has only ever been one Royce Hart. Another unique one. It's not as if there are any other contenders for the best CHF ever.

Indeed. You've always been a man of impeccable judgement.

He was brilliant in the 2017 finals.
Definitely poor last year and backed it up with two fairly mediocre performances this year.

Not in the QF he wasn't
He pooped his pants under pressure. Game high 13 turnovers, 5 out of bounce on the full, 42.5% DE, with only 14 of his 31 disposals effective.

Chris Scott was full of s**t when he said Dangerfield was sore over the last 2 weekends of the season

The reason why he was below 100% in the Prelim Final was because Richmond are the greatest team in any sport in the history of mankind

Yes, he had hurt feelings after Dusty pushed him at half time

He was frightened. And then Cotchin decided Diverfraud wouldn't get a kick for the rest of the game.

Yeah he got a bit of the ball but was under pressure virtually the entire time.

Danger's wasted legacy wasn't helped by Chris Scott benching him at half time in the pre-lim.

He wasn't benched he was up forward, you need to find a way to help your team win Danger couldn't do that.

Actually when you watch the third quarter he was in the middle a lot more than I thought.

It still amazes me how little such an exaggerated bit of stagging wasn't commented on by the media, yet joe public spotted it straight away.
Lost a lot of respect for Dangerfield after that, especially when he tried to glorify it and rub it in Martin's face.

Diverflop is a serial stager.

If Lindsay Thomas or the likes had done it the commentators would have been all over it.

Or Alex Rance, or Dylan Grimes, or Jack Riewioldt...

Probably because he carries on like a flog on and off the field. Dusty just gets on with it... the Dusty's and Swannies of the footy world are what most people identify with. The Chris Scott's and Patrick dangerfield's of the footy world are what makes most people cringe.

I wouldn't say that Dusty is someone that most people identify with him (or Swanny either for that matter). He could quite easily be as big a flog, if not bigger than Danger...but no one knows as the man barely speaks.

Good luck to him BTW, he doesn't need to. But he's not automatically a great bloke in the absence of actually knowing anything about him or what he's like.

He went surfing

In which game in 2017? All of them or just one?

Don’t let the Clanger stats in that game get in the way of a good story , he was brilliant in that game

 

[My Tilly]

Semi final and prelim final.
He and Selwood tried their guts out.

Dangerfield was bloody average this year finals campaign though. No denying that.
For a footballer on 850k + incentives and off-field income, he should be carrying this current team just as Selwood did when the champions of the golden era hung up the boots post 2013/2014.
Selwood is one of Geelong's greatest big game performers. Even this season when he looked cooked at certain stages, he was the same old brilliant Selwood in September.
