No. We already have Wonna, Sylvia, Robbo who play small forward. He's overrated and only considering to be such a great player because he plays for the magpies.

I hate Collingwood as much as the next football supporter, but IMO Didak is one player they have that does deserve the credit he receives for his on-field performance.

He's a gun player- yes, he's also a complete fool and scum favourite, but i don't doubt his quality as a footballer.

Having said that, i'd say probably 'no'. Too old, culture sore. The only thing that stops me from completely ruling him out would be price: if we were able to get him to the club for say, a 3rd round pick (which is what the Bulldogs gave up for Aker?), i wouldn't be too unhappy to see him in red and blue.

No - too old, and doesn't fill our key needs.

Better to take a punt on someone who can contribute to our predicted flag contention window.

No way dont touch this cancer to spread over to our young players

Clubbing is ok, its the trouble that they find themselves in that is not ok.

Clubbing + Didak = Trouble

Just seems one of the universal laws. I reckon he's got off lightly, and it's because Collingwood rate him so highly. He's good, no doubt, I hate to see wasted talent so I hope he learns something although he's had his chances already.

This years Pre Season Draft candidates: - Cousins, Didak?, Shaw.R?, Shaw.H?...,.....

The Collingwood players are contracted so they wont be in the PSD.

He was at a pub so I would be looking more at the drink as the cause of the trouble.

Just throwing it out their guys.. i know alot of water has to go under the bridge yet, but if the pies were silly enoughto sack him and we had first pick in the PSD would you be happy for him to come to our club with alot of young players.

I would, it's a PSD pick, not alot to lose..

Interested to hear what you think?

Don't touch the drunk driving scumbag from Collingwood.

He seems a little confused with the term GUN AFL player. :wacko:

Total peanut don't go there, he's headed for Jail

The trouble of his, is to be found somewhere between his left ear, & the other one. :wacko:

I find it ludicrous that anyone would contemplate picking up Didak or Shaw irrespective of their future availability

Club culture is parramount

We dont want idiots at Melbourne irrespective of their football ability

As of right now, Didak is a significantly better player than any of those three. Also only turns 26 at the start of next year. In my view, he is probably almost a genuine goal-kicking midfielder now, rather than predominantly a small forward.

To put it in context, if he played for the MFC and had the same stats this year, he would be:

#1 in kicks (by over 100)

#2 total disposals

#1 goals

Collingwood are in a situation where they basically have to trade him so they won't get full market value, particularly given his priors. Question is whether Bailey thinks he can manage the risk because the potential reward is very high.

I doubt it is at all likely, but we would certainly be foolish not to at least look at it.

But he's such good mates with Sylvia! Think of the all good times and bonding they could share, helping Melbourne become a happier place and an unstoppable force on-field! :)

Yes Big Al would be such a good influence on Col wouldn't he!!! Considering Col has set the Footy World on fire over the last Two years. Walk away from Didak he is Trouble..............

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
