The dropping of Dal Santo is an absolute rabble. Pisstake.
Nothing else needs to be said.

Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>.

Wouldnt matter who we trade Dal for, unless it happened to be a negative tagger, because RL will bring down anyone flamboyant with his monotone, inspirationless ways.
Who does Essendon have that would be worth Dal anyway?

RL might offer him up for half a cup luke warm twinnings....
seeing as he has no friggin idea about anything it seems.
i reckon that she'll be on tomorrow night...by that i mean i think there could be a bit of argie bargie, bit of niggle and rough housing.
bring it the f*** on i say...
if douche bag wants to send a message to players u might as well let harvey send one too.
ross called us soft the other week....and i reckon we might find out who is soft this week...
ohh, thats right we'vce dropped all the soft ones who dont work hard enough

Are you serious? 'One of the best players in the comp'?The_Dud wrote:yeah, we MIGHT get a good player for one of the best players in the comp, let alone our team...
He might be one of the most skillful, but he's not one of the best players in the comp. He's rarely the best player for St Kilda!
I reckon I could name a full team of midfield players I'd have in the AFL before I would choose Dal.
1. G Ablett
2. Judd
3. Hodge
4. Hayes
5. Goodes
6. Kerr
7. Black
8. S Thompson
9. Goodwin
10. Kirk
11. Thomas
12. Chapman
13. Bartel
14. Corey
15. McVeigh
16. Cooney
17. Akermanis
18. Foley
19. S Burgoyne
20. K Cornes
There's 20 midfielders I would choose ahead of Dal Santo for influence on a game.
He's not in the best 20 midfielders, let alone adding in the Franklins, Browns and Scarletts of the AFL.
The thing with Dal Santo though is that he could be.....and this could be the huge wake up call he needs.
For if he doesn't, then yes he along with another I have in the gun, should be tradeable commodities.

I don't think anyone ranks Dal Santo in the top 20 midfielders. We only have one in that category now, and it's Hayes. I also think that Jumping to the conclusion that we should trade Dal Santo is nonsense.
How about we see it for what it is - a very talented player who has let the team things slip out of his game and is being given a bit of a wake up call. It's been done before at our club and others and it will be done again. It's often said that when teams are playing poorly that players start to go into self preservation mode, worried more about getting a kick because their confidence is low. This is where Dal Santo is at, at the moment. there have been periods when he has tackled and chased well, particularly in 2006. Since then, he has been very heavily tagged and his confidence has suffered, and where he is at the moment is a product of the heavy tags and subsequent drop in confidence.
I actually have faith in the guy to get back to his best and to do the team things. I also don't think he's soft in relation to the physical contest. The issues are about manning up and chasing, and I think these can be remedied.
By the way, how many tackles has Robert Harvey laid in his career? What defensive game did he have during his early to late twenties? The answer is NONE. Yet, we didn't trade him, and you'd have to say he's been a pretty fair player for us.

I hope he does turn the corner and regain that confidence then, because he shouldn't settle for just being a 'good' player when he has the ability to be an 'elite' player.

Great post...spot on. I don't think anyone with their head screwed on is seriously suggesting Dal's dropping had anything to do with tackles alone...plus his stats look OK, including a lot of cheap possessions. He has a generally low work ethic at present, and it's obvious to almost everyone. I think the 'break' from high pressure tags and constant scrutiny will do Dal the world of good...if he's a great as we all believed, he'll bounce back better than ever.cwrcyn wrote:I don't think anyone ranks Dal Santo in the top 20 midfielders.
