Alan Didak

[DeeM 42]

I think there is a strong chance of Didak ending up at demonland next year.

He is a harden senior player with experience, what we need.
However does he fit into our lineup? For one i think he could be a very handy winger.

And before everyone jumps down my throat about the 'rat-pack' etc etc, remember there isn't a 'rat pack' at Melbourne and i feel under Roo's he could add a bit to our side.

Also, the benefit of Didak being delisted is we don't have to give up anything for him.
down-side is that he has been accused of being a 'down hill skier'
thoughts?

Not the sorta guy we need for mine, injured too often, best is behind him, our recruiting needs to be more than a retirement home for blokes who can't get a gig anywhere else.

There are a few posters I would willing trade to get Didak on this site.

[Nasher 33,246]

I'm all for bringing in hardened experience and so forth, but I'd prefer we avoided players who are clearly finished.

[dl4e 5,687]

Didak would be a Neeld like acquisition. No way.

[dazzledavey36 49,739]

Part of collingwoods culture cancer. No thanks.

[rjay 24,182]

Lets start a thread for every delisted player.

We need experience with a good upside in the 24 to 26 yo age group, no more pensioners for Melbourne.

[Bagdana 58]

Didak is a victim of Buckley’s big head and inability to objectively be the coach of his ex-mate.

He could be good for another team but I don't think we need him.

Only positive would be, we'd definitely get Sylvia to sign so he and Did's could get up to mischief again.

[Little Richard 5,935]

What will he offer? Nothing on the field and only negative influence on culture.

Not a chance.

No chance. One of the rat pack with dodgy connections. Doesn't in any way fit the Roos culture criteria. Not a chance that will be compromised. Not a chance!

Please no. Seriously

[stuie 7,374]

Just imaging old man Byrnes and old man Didak in the forward line together....

B: Dids, hey Dids, kick it to me....

D: Ehhhhhh?

B: Kick it to me...

D: Whatttt?

B: Over here, I'm over here you old coot

D: Yes I like beer, but I don't wanna root...

[BarnDee 287]

NOOOOOOO

[MadAsHell 4,089]

Jolly will end up at Geelong

Krakouer at West Coast

Russell at Adelaide

and Didak at St Kilda

None will be at Melbourne...

[Maldonboy38 6,093]

Have a look at Roos' record at Sydney. Trouble-makers either change quickly or don't get a game. They even made it difficult for Big Bad Barry to get a game after his Staker hit. There is no way Roos would recruit a culture-poor player like Didak.

[rpfc 27,673]

Too little reward for that risk.

lol

My response was far too serious.

Didak?

lol

Maurie's Laws of Demonland drafting and trading:

1. The time taken for a delisted player to be mentioned on Demonland is inversely proportional to their drafting value.

2. The older they are, the more likely they are to be mentioned.

3. The more cultural issues they have, the more likely Demonland posters are to want them.

4. The more injury prone they are, the more Demonland posters think they are a good proposition.

[ignition. 1,426]

I can't stand this guy and have no respect for his game in any way shape or form.

His time is up, he will add nothing to our list from a playing or development perspective.

He will only hinder the team by taking up a position on the field, leaving someone with a missed opportunity.

He will not be at the club in 2014 - end of story.

5. And the more Dland posters want them then the more MFC should offer in trade picks/ money over their actual market value.

We are trying to build a good culture, and you are suggesting we pick someone up from another club who was let go due to negatively adding to the culture of that club?
ummmm...right...

I pray for the day when we don't have to scour the competition for other clubs' cast offs.

Didak was a great player in his day but ... please god no.

[Demoneyes 562]

Quite simply, no thankyou! Would prefer to see Eric Stonestreet in a tutu!

[Steamin Demon 370]

^{God no !!!}
