Sign Here - Im getting Bradd Dalziell!!

[Jab]

your post is written poorly. Re-write it.

Yes mum

I love writing posts when your pissed off with a topic

Not going to win him a (insert a writing prize here), but I think we all get his point.

Razzell is a gamble that has "broken even" thus far. Lets wait a while before we sledge some of the proven Dt'ers on here for picking a proven player over our gamble.

 

[Audacious]

Hardly.


But let's not forget, it's perfectly valid for you to lay the boots into Swan when he has a 'down game' of 79, yet when Dalziell has a game of 60 those who give a bit back to the people who were acting as if he's Jesus himself after a Round 1 game of 101 whilst laughing at those who 'didnt pick Razzle Dazzle " - are suddenly the bad guys


Better?

nah not really. Full stop here and there would have been nice.

People who bagged out Dalziell after round 2 werent giving anything back. Your sentence makes it sound as though Swan had a bad score in round 2, and Dalziell had a bad score in round 4. And that Dalziell fans bagged out Swan after round 2, and now Swan fans are giving it back. Its the other way around buddy.

We (Dalziell fans) are justified to pump up our man after everyone was quick to tell us we had made a mistake in picking him and that we should have gone with safer options. We are retaliating to everyone who told us we had made a mistake. So yes, your the bad guys lol

That's not the point, it's ridiculously hypocritical for Dalziell owners to act sanctimonious towards those who picked Swan when Swan has a bad game whilst crying foul when Swan owners act sanctimonious towards those who picked Dalziell when Dalziell has a bad game.

Your post has too many big words, Re-write it

Total agree, it is only round 4 is it not???

Lets just pace ourselves hey

Yes it is the point.

You still dont get it, and im not sure you will. One event happened before the other. It is critical you recognise which player scored poorly first (and which group of fans bagged out another player first), before you go using terms like "hypocritical".

Theres a difference between retaliation and hypocritical. Dalziell owners are retaliating to people who said we had made a bad choice after round 2. Safer option fans who bagged out Dalziell after round 2, and are now crying foul that Daziell owners are crowing, and the ones that are hypocritical.

 

[Nebula1971]

I am particularly happy with the Dalziell selection and it wasn't a rookie error as claimed by some, but certainly entitled to their opinion.

It took some balls to pick him IMO with the other proven stars in his price range, but left field is good in this game. There are 18 rounds to go, so anything can happen from here.

7 out of 8 100+ games this year cannot be misinterpreted. Yes, 4 of them don't really count, but they were an indicator.

Dalziell is a DT stud.

... oh and anyone bagging out Swan as a DT'er is clueless. BTW, I don't have him.

This implies that the 'safer option' fans actions weren't in retaliation to an action of the Dalziell fans - but they were.

So, what was the catalyst, the provocation for the 'safe option' fans actions in Round 2? It was the Dalziell fans who took it upon themselves to act sanctimoniously after Round 1 towards those who didn't select Dalziell, something which I tried to highlight earlier yet failed to articulate in a way which you could understand.

I agree. The signs were there, and they were backed up by the cold, hard stats. Dalziell is a DT gem, and I was more confident that he would perform (avg > 100) than others in his price bracket - including Selwood, Power, Cross and Stanton.

 

[lifelike_]

The Dalziell owners bumped this thread after round one.

112 - let the Razzle Train roll on!!

do we have a TOG stat? wouldn't have been much.

Certainly not regretting this decision so far.

What a fing gun.

Anyone who has today's herald sun will know his TOG... anyone!?

He just owns this game.

When Drummond/McDonald etc look up from the last line. Its always Razzle sprinting to the wing to be the link up man. The defense looks for him, he like to kick over handball and wont get a tag... He isnt damaging enough.

DT Gun all year

exactly what i've been saying all pre season. He wont attract a tag because he isn't a damaging player. but because he is a link man he gets lots of marks and kicks.

Black coming back in doesn't have any impact on razzles role, no one else in the team does. learn something about the player !! he isn't an inside in and under mid. He will always play 80% game time and get those easy marks and kicks.

If they dont tag a midfield player, they will tag drummond (like the eagles did) because he creates and sets up play.

People sometimes forget that DT isn't real football, you dont tag the best DT on the other team, they tag the person who influences who wins !!!

What a gun!

So it was the people who didn't pick him up that were the ones who provided the contrary argument.

If Dalziell owners can bump the thread after a good week, why can't others bump it after a bad week?

This is the page where people are heaping praise on Dalziell right after his round 1 score. Ive read 4 pages on from there but nowhere do i see Dalziell owners bagging out DT'ers who didnt pick him. Everyone is patting themselves on the back for making a risky decision that in round 1 looked good. No-one in there says anything such as "sucked in to all those who picked Cross, Swan, Boyd, etc" and missed out on Dalziell".

And this thread wasnt made after Dalziell round 1 score, it has been a place of us who took the plunge to gather. Think of it as an online shrine. Well it was until round 2 when those who didnt have him decided to come in here and tell us all that we'd regret it, etc. Since then theres been comments about how people wish he would fail and other nancy stuff that reaks of jealousy.

Because despite the circle jerk and man love for Dalziell, nowhere can i find Dalziell owners bagging out the safer option players after round 1. So you werent really retaliating to anything we posted. We were minding our own business. But you took it upon yourselves to come in here after round 2 and give us the shits. Now we are giving you the whats up biatch.

 

[thebaxters]

Why can't we all just get along?

Swan/Thompson/Kornes/Green/Murphy/Cross/Dalziell/Salopek/Hayes/Stanton/Boyd/Selwood/Tuck all within +/- 30K of Dalziell, and all players you'd be happy to have.

Yes, taking Dalziell was a punt given his lack of experience. Yes, he had performed admirably last and this year. Yes, Swan is the more proven choice. Yes, he had performed admirably last and this year.

Dalziell owners, be happy. Swan owners, be happy. You can't have all of the top mids, there just isn't enough room. But it's pointless arguing about it... it's like discussing first year rookie comparisons over the extent of their careers. You can't tell without hindsight who had the best career. Let it be.

Haha, settle down.

Where was I specifically giving people the shits after round two? I was only pointing out that it'd be a big ask to maintain a 105 point average.

Why does this thread need to be bumped every round, regardless of his score? I'd rather it never saw the light of day again.

You missed Bruce.

 

[Athomas]

I love Dalziell. I'm happy he has got Carlton and Sydney (teams that restrict dt points) out of the way.

Well not you specifically, but the safer options people collectively did.

Lets be honest, (and this applies to 99.9% of DT'ers out there, including me) its great fun watching gun/expensive players who arent in your team fail. It means that while everyone else suffers, you dont. Meaning that you make up ground on the pack. Dalziell is a popular player and a big risk and whether they admit it or not, those who didnt pick him hope he fails miserably.

I dont have Swan, Cross, Salopek and naturally i quite like it when they dont get a big score, but it doesnt matter anyway because i know overall theyll average 95-105. However Dalziel was a no guts no glory pick, and i believe us Dalziell owners have every right to feel stoked each week he cracks the ton.

Why cant others who dont have him just applaud our gamble that has so far paid off?

Agree with everything there.

Was a risky pick, and so far it's paid off. Will be interesting to see what he ends up averaging. If he keeps this up there's no reason why he can't be seen as a good upgrade target later in the year, and a genuine premium next year.

 

[nameless]

don't think ive celebrated a goal from a neutral team as hard as i did Dalziells 2 tonight hahaha, i just love watching Brissy now. There were a few times when he went for marks and had to slide in and get them, was so happy each time he held on.

I think that was the thing about the Carlton game, he was fumbling a lot, missed a few marks and the pressure of Carlton meant he missed out on a lot of possessions.

I saw that it was raining so decided not to have him as skipper, went with Richo, whether or not Richo scores more im still happy for Razzle Dazzle.

He's slowly entering the fold as one of my 3 dream dinner guests.

 

[Coach Bombay]

So far i am absolutely stoked to have him!

after all the smack i started talking in this thread im gonna be more interested in the outcome of Dalziells scores each week, than my overall ranking Definitely makes the Brisbane games appealing.

 

[IbbosBFF]

Its like Razzle Dazzle understands dreamteam, thats why i took the punt on him.

When Brisbane have the ball deep inside their defensive 50, i know one bloke is going to be working his ass off to get on the end of the next kick.

His role wont change, he wont get tagged, he is mature-aged... its not like he is 19.

Hopefully he can keep it up

I'm blowing my own trumpet here.. toot, toot, razzle dazzle train toot toot.. all aboard.. if so youll be left behind "toot toot".. man we are setting us up for a downfall here.. SAINT KFC and others will be first to reminds us.. if he starts sucking..

Don't know why you mentioned me mate, not once have I put you guys down for picking Dalziell, not even after his game of 60.

Yeah sorry saint.. sorry to martyr you... its good to have objective opinion.. You are well versed in DT/SC.. so your opinions are well founded.. a gloating post in fantasy always ends up in misery.. Karma has alot to do with it.

We may all ended up with egg in our face.. soon.. its early days.. dalziel isnt really a premium like swan or ablett.. so it over optimistic to expect him to perform as well all year... But you cant go past his consistency... in two years or so time hell be on everyones radar as a premium upgrade..

He certainly has similar makings of Dane Swan in a DT sense. Can certainly score 100's with minimal TOG, and has averaged about 100 so far in his career. Not to mention scoring 100's in every NAB game earlier this year. His only possible weakness so far I see is his lack of a massive score (e.g. 130+), but that will come in due course I think.
