VFL Round 3 NBs vs Collingwood

[LP]

Dangerfield is a rank kick and makes a lot of bad decisions with ball in hand,  but many  people reckon he's in the top three players in the league.

Dangerfield bombs the ball long like Robinson, in fact once he gets hold of the ball Dangerfield disposes of it a lot like Mitch Robinson did when he was at Carlton. The main difference between the two is the way Dangerfield works and competes to win the football, he is an average ball user compared to someone like Ablett Jnr, but if you include disposal efficiency I'm afraid Dangerfield is ordinary at best. He gets away with a lot because he usually send the ball 60m forward out of the trouble zone, if some kid did that the scribes would beat up on them!

But coaches don't seem to rate that, which is ironic because coaches always tell you they can turn an athlete into a footballer. Yet they can't rate ball use highly, proof is when you see them giving McKay top votes in the AFLCA despite a couple of horrible misses.
