Alan Didak

[rose jam]

has had injuries this year but is finding touch now. i think he is unspeakably brilliant on his day but needs to demonstrate some pretty good consistent form for the rest of the year and against higher rated oppositions/and in finals if we make them.

that is stupidity. Can boast elite performances against any team, any opposition on every ground. Finals. WTF?? He won the 2003 elimination final against Brisbane, and I don't know if you were actually watching the 2007 final series or do you have to go to bed at 8pm every night?
Your comments are baseless and idiotic and belong next to our national treasurer for credibility. The End.

Not elite until you've had a few successful seasons (both individually and as a team)

So Nathan Buckley from 1994 to 2001 wasn't a consistent player? Robert Harvey wasn't consistent from 1989-1996? Tony Lockett wasn't consistent from 1987-1995?

I'm sure you'll retract that rubbish

2 amazing weeks from Al. Last night prob his best game - didn the hard running plus the magic.

 

[SwanBet]

'elite' is far to loose a term. Depends who you ask. I only rate mid-fielders who perform with a heavy tag and key forwards/defenders who dominate to be elite. Didak doesn't fit into either category. To inconsistent for mine also.

wow.

watch him play week in week out, clueless comment.

 

[TorresIsGod]

So well said...



















From an elite lier!

Liar

If I was to say you were anv elite wan***.... would you really be proud of that.

No, I'd be devastated... and I'd hope you'd reconsider hurting my feelings and apologise.

 

[stellation]

He was excellent last night. Does he normally spend so much time in the middle or was it due to a change in rotations with Pendlebury going down?

 

[stellation]

Not elite until you've had a few successful seasons (both individually and as a team), Collingwood in general have not had many successful seasons in recent times.

Fair to say that Buddy isn't elite, then?

 

[Thommo 42]

its been a planned progression, but just as he is starting to mount the minutes - he gets injured.

was out for 5 with a hammy and is still not 100% fit

 

[John Dorian]

almost scored the greatest goal in VFL\AFL history from the boundary. Damn that stupid wet grass!

If he got the goal I would classify him as "elite".
Since he missed he will never become an "elite".

 

[Papa Juggs]

Got 3 votes in an 80 point win over the Cats.

There is no doubt.

 

[Cousins2Higgins]

Didak tonight reminded me of Akermanis circa early 2000s. If he could do that on a regular basis he might even get a Brownlow.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH

Wait...

HHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

You cannot be serious, surely.

Many in the football world both media and fans for awhile have believed or still do that Collingwood has no star quality.

Davis, Didak, Pendlebury and Swan are all elite footballers now.

If Didak continues this rich vein of form, bookmark him for AA honours.

Davis, on current form is the only elite player you've listed

Didak, Pendles and Swan are very good players, but they're not elite.

Doubt it. He has probably already missed too much football. Plus the two games before his layoff he struggled. So he is 7 games behind the rest.

Didak, Pendles and Swan are very good players, but they're not elite.

Swan and Pendlebury are/were (say for Pendles' injury) #1 and #2 in the league for many statistics.

Now statistics are overrated in measuring a player's performance and ability, however if you think neither of them are elite, it is foolish thinking.

As for Didak, been elite for some time now, just many people choose to overlook or not accept it.

Doubt it. He has probably already missed too much football. Plus the two games before his layoff he struggled. So he is 7 games behind the rest.

Probably a long shot but not entirely over.

Brownlows can and have been won based on half-seasons so it isn't out of the question.

 

[Gone Critical]

Agree that it looks stupid to try ansd assess a player as elite after a BOG performance but Didak has been v good always and consistently so since 2006 barring time out with major knee injury, other injuries and suspensions.

Is connsistently v good when playing and our most talented midfielder. Can turn games with individual brilliance and their are only a handful of midfielders you can say that about. I love Leon and his growth as a player but he is not in Didaks class

Overall most pleasing thing for Pie fans is that it is becoming increasingly obvious that we have a much classier and talented midfield than most others give us credit for. Davis Didak Pendlebury and Swan as the Stars and support from O'Bree Thomas Sidebottom Wellingham Lockyer and youngsters Beams and McCarthy waiting for their chance

Class and depth so a midfield not to be sneezed at

 

[AFaiL]

Standard Didak weekly 'elite' bump.

 

[jerry springer]

best month by a collingwood player in a loooong time.absolutley sensational

 

[Jock Inhale]

Can play, the boy Didak.

 

[Teak_Pies]

Lazy 39 possies and 2 goals

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Not elite, bloody good for SC though!

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Standard Didak weekly 'elite' bump.

Theres a good reason for that.

 

[StringyDog]

Very good player, but not elite as elite is the term for the best of the best or top 3-4 in league which he is not a part of. Good on him for playing like this against this opposition, but come bump this thread when he plays a game like that against a quality side and quality oppponent, would love to see those stats when he plays on a Dale Morris or the like, doubt I will though.

Like when he got the 3 Brownlow votes against Geelong last year? Do they count as a quality side?
