I don't know about most skilful but it's a tough one Didak on his day can grab 20 possesions and kick a bagful but he's inconsistent whereas Hodge consistently gets 25 touches a game.

True but the hawks still play Hodge mainly in the backline when I believe that he would be much more value as a midfielder. Didak has made his name mainly as a goal sneak but played much more in the midfield last year and won All Australian honours. maybe the hawks should do the same with Hodge and release him more as a midfielder and we will really see how good he is.

Would i rather a small forward who can kick goals and turn games, or a very angry player who runs around the backline and gets cheap kicks.

Hmm i dunno :confused:

Hodge. By far the better player.
didak is more dangerous and can cause more damage going forward. hodge is good but an around the back sweeper doesn't hurt you as much,heath scotland gets as much ball as hodge.but people are starting to see through cheap around the back possessions

Polar opposites - Hodge uses his skills to pick up plenty of loose possessions in the backline alongside moving through the middle, and sets up play for the team.

Didak, on the other hand, uses his skills to make a serious impact on the game by getting a higher number of possessions than most half forwards in the league, and kicking more goals than most smalls.

Don't know who I'd choose - My head says that Hodge is probably slightly better, but at the same time, I've seen Didak win so many games off his own boot that it would be hard to turn him down.

Hodge by a mile. I just wouldn't want Didak playing in my side. :)
Why wouldn't you want Didak at Carlton?

Both are very good players, however players like Didak are harder to find, there are plenty of Hodge's around.

Didak is what we are missing in our forward line.

I hate Didak probably because I wish we had him.
