DFA - I dont think so.

Fair post metal.

Much of the same from Dylan tonight. Shows great tenacity and is able to win the ball in close through sheer determination, but turns it over quite often. His decision making and disposal is very costly and it's been highlighted playing as a defender in recent weeks. I think he should be played up the ground.

Point taken. Though the curtain is closed on Jason Wild, and what Dylan becomes remains to be seen.

It's also worth mentioning that he played 17 games in his fourth year, 2008, before his injury and was a walk up start. I would imagine that it takes about that long for most young players to consolidate a spot (unless they're stars of course) and get that amount of games.

Simply calling him a dud is not true or fair.

Yes i agree but it is also fair to say that he will never be a walk up start again no matter how much heart the guy has,

Im this day and age you need skill as well as heart and sorry to say i don't thonk DFA has both

Re: DFA - I dont think so.

I love his attack on the footy, but I used to love Daryl Griffin's attack on the footy also. DFA just has to improve his decision making and disposal. Maybe some midfield time at Pt. Gellibrand could sort that out. I hope so. He is a favourite.

Re: DFA - I dont think so.

We should trade him to Sydney, might get a second round pick for him. He has an uncanny resemblance to Brett Kirk, and probably in the "fringe" stage at his age. He could really blossom under Kriky's leadership. Can he become a hard in and under player ?

Will be interesting to see what happens to DFA this year. But I rated him in his early games at Werribee in his first year. He just needs to recapture some of that 2008 form.

Re: DFA - I dont think so.

I think he presents us with some good trade value for a draft pick at the end of this season. Most people here agree he is not in the best 22 and won't play every game this year. Say he plays 5-8 games for the year, what do people think his trade value would be at years end?

His disposal is proving to be a liability in the back line.

Re: DFA - I dont think so.

I didn't think think his disposal was THAT bad last night. Made one absolute howler, but besides that I think he was generally OK. Did a wonderful tap on towards the end of the game that showed great poise and vision. Tackling and attacking the contest as always first rate.

I'd have him pretty close to the 22 to Rd 1 based on that performance.

I think people are just focusing on him to much. If you put any player under the microscope, especially a fringe player you'll notice a lot of mistakes. Picken and now Moles will make it hard for him to get back though but he seems to have the desire there and will push for selection.

As I've always said I love the way he plays and I'm glad he's on our list. I'm not going to hang him out to dry just yet.

Never mind if Sydney want him. Also very very very unlikely we'd get a 2nd round pick for a fringe player we're looking to offload. 4th round at best unless he shows otherwise at AFL level and we still decided to send him off.
