Is Didak Worth his pricetag?

I currently have him in my forward line and am interested in peoples views on him..

He was good last year but not for me this year..so far

Cruiseon · March 18, 2010, 02:33:24 PM

No

So who is a better option for this price or close to?

Why is everyone jumping off Dids this year?

Plainly, someone who is worth his pricetag!

Ryan O'Keefe mate, look at Sydneys forward structure with Goodes as a permanent CHF and no need for him to do anything but run through the middle. Might struggle with a tag but not as much so as Didak. Also Sydneys more aggressive game plan works to your advantage with ROK whereas Didak will be victim of higher number of Collinwood rotations

Suspicion that he will miss games/get tagged out of it more often.

2007: 15 games
2008: 18 games
2009: 17 games

He's played 9 seasons and only played 22 games in 2 of those (2003 and 2006).

Arky that is not entirey correct as it is not Alan's fault that he gets into cars with murderers or drink drives and gets suspended when lying about it.

But for that 2008 would have a 22 games year as well.

It's not about fault - the question is, will something similar happen again. Tell us why not, Cruise.

Probably (could always have got injured or suspended if he'd played, of course). Even then it would be 3 seasons out of 9 that he'd played all 22.

And Didak's tendence to get into trouble does come into consideration, the same way everyone is worried about Barry Hall's tendency to bash people, it's not a one-off thing!

Is Didak Worth his pricetag?
