Who's more damaging Gary Ablett; Jimmy Bartel or Dally?
You cant be serious, DalSanto runs 3rd in that group and by a very long way. If you are talking about footskills only then maybe Dal, but if you are talking about the whole package DalSanto shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as the other 2.
1. Ablett
2. Bartel
But LB, people are complaining on this thread about how "Dal" needs to go in a get the hardball but they can't seem to understand that you need players around the outside of a pack to receive the ball.
This is the type of idiotic comment that infuriates people. No one has said that he needs to win as much of the hard ball or be an in and under player like Lenny and Bally are. Every team needs some outside players i agree, but i dont care who you are, when its your turn to go and put your body on the line for your team you have to do it.......... no excuses.
He needs to be accountable for his opponent just like everyone else, not spending his time jogging around the half back line picking up cheap kicks while his opponent (a 4th gamer) cuts us open.
This week will tell us alot about Dal i think, the media has put the acid on him all week and it shall be interesting to see how he responds.
whack him at half forward where he can do some damage and leave him there for the full four quarters. encourage him to have a ping whenever he gets it.
the guy is a creative player and is wasted mopping up on the backline.
NDS is a class below Bartell and Ablett -silky skills and nothing else doesn't put you in the elite. On the other hand if he works as hard at taking the next step as Ablett and Bartell did last season, then he can gain a lot more respect.
