"The thing that goes unnoticed by basically every neutral and most of our supporters, and I think RD has mentioned it or it at least forms part of his point, is that he consistently does things that no one else can do but he never gets any credit for it. His downfall is that he makes it look routine. I can think of a handful of examples and I'm tempted to GIF a couple. Two handballs that set up goals in our first Collingwood game this year spring to mind. An amazing tackle in the goal square v Melbourne in 2011. Another great tackle v Gibbs in the 2013 game when we played them before finals. A mid air handball v North in 2011. 55m left foot goal v Adelaide last year. He makes these sort of things look easy but how many others could do them? Very few. In fact it looks so routine for him that I'm sure commentators miss or plain don't understand how hard they are to do. I remember in Dimma's Dissection after that Carlton game with the tackle, and he said "I don't think anyone really understands how strong and skilled you have to be to stick that tackle", and I thought yep, that pretty much sums up Lids' career, no one understands how hard it is to do some of the things he does week in week out.

Takes on 3 blokes then nails the opposite hand handpass PERFECTLY.

He isn't even ******* looking at Ellis. All that it gets from the commentators is 'Well, that's terrific from Deledio.' Terrific? No shit, he wasn't even looking at the guy he handballed to. Oh and he was being tackled and barely had both arms free. Can you imagine if Cyril did this?

Not much needs to be said about this.

I remember that last one because I didn't see it, lol. My mate and I were at the pub and running late finishing our chicken schnitzels. The game started and I couldn't see the screen from where I was sitting. My mate nearly spat out a mouthful!!!
