2018 Rd 1 Post Game Party: Carlton vs Richmond

[LP]

You'll have to talk to our good friend flyboy.

So Flyboy is my hype dealer.

Pssssst, Flyboy, got any to spare? ;D

Dusty gets marked down because of the tatts, bad boy dad, and company he keeps but he is a hell of a footballer and has burnt us for about 4 years in a row now......
Dangerfield is a much more likeable, cleanskin, thrilling player to watch but Martin is just as effective if you look at the results and not just the packaging he comes in...

Completely disagree, I hate Dangerfield. Flog of the highest order.
Dusty I can cop.

Judd described Dusty as a Zen Master, he mentioned that some on the inside of football rate him even higher than the very best of Ablett Jnr.

IMHO, Dangerfield is nowhere near the ball user that Martin is, Dangerfield's modus operandi is all too often to win contested possession, which he does almost to perfection, but then boot the ball 60m to a contest.

Dusty wins the contested footy, then hits the team-mate on the chest Sam Mitchell style, without leaving the hot zone!

In some respects Judd himself was a sort of middle ground between those two extremes. Closer to Martin in ball use, and easily as explosive as Dangerfield.

As much as I'd love to bag out "Chopsticks", he's a mighty mighty footballer!

I think the majority of the public would pick Dangerfield as the man they would want in their team and a lot of that is to do with his clean, good boy image.....Martins football is comparable and IMO better in terms of what he offers but he would be seen by a lot of people as a DH who Richmond have had to pander too..
Dangerfield went to Geelong for 800k a year, thats humble pickings for a flog......

Agree. I'd be happy with either, but Danger tried to do the right thing by both the Crows and Cats. Tried to ensure the Crows were fairly compensated, and busted his gut for them right up till the last second of his last match. And went to the Cats on very reasonable coin, given his status in the game.

If you accept that is all he get$, which we accept as the current truth, but we probably know it's eventually going to be a lie!

Sinner now and Saint later, or the reverse!

Interesting the coaches gave Cripps maximum 10 votes for BoG as part of the AFLCA voting.

It sort of tells you what the coaches value! Most of the media had Dusty the clear BoG, many of us here thought it was a line ball!

Dusty was given 7, Simmo got 6.

I had Crippa as BoG.  While I don't get too many correct, I'm pleased to take that one. Onya Crippa. Hat's off to young Simmo too. Only 13 more till our champ gets his ticket to a very exclusive club.

I had Marchbank as a standout and he doesn't get a mention here.

Either I saw a different game, or he wasn't as good as the aforementioned.

He gets plenty of votes in the Jim Park thread, and he's been mentioned in this thread numerous times.
