Occassionally Dave a footballer comes along who can consistently turn a game.
Rene Kink could turn a game when he was switched on ...which wasn't that often. There is only a handful of players in any era who can turn a game and they are just amazing players to watch.
.
Of the players who could Ablett and Carey stood out but there were players like Malcolm Blight and a few others. Go back and watch the 1990 GF .....Collingwood were struggling in the first quarter and who popped up and goaled...none other than Peter Daicos...that goal changed that game ... there are great players like Buckley but I can never remember him changing the course of many games.
Today I would say Dangerfield and Martin are 2 players who can really step up and change a game when it is required.
Look at Dangerfield when he played us last year. |
Eddie Betts! Lance Franklin. Jordan De Goey! Jayden Stephenson! ..... |
There is a difference between an excellent player like Eddie and player who realizes that they need to step up to win the game when that game is slipping away from them. |

Agree re Carey. Most of the time, he seems to speak a lot more sense than Lingy or Taylor.
Having been found guilty of calling Darcy "Peter Moore" on several occasions (can't help it - he reminds me so much of his dad in the way he lopes around especially), I recalled that Peter Moore had his fair share of hamstring injuries in his playing days. I think he may have even missed some finals because of it.
So perhaps Darcy's hamstring troubles are genetic and will always plague him. Plus, when you look at the length of his hamstrings, there's a lot of territory there for things to go amiss ie they are very long hamstrings and perhaps because of this are extra susceptible to injury.  (This may sound like a ludicrous comment, but the load on those hammies must be enormous).
I don't want Darcy to go, but if we were able to to get an equal benefit out of any trade, it wouldn't be so bad. |

James Hird could change the outcome of a game and did it on a tegular basis Daisy Thomas had the potential to do it and did it a few times when playing for the Pies but injury curtailed hispotential and development.

Messrs Jack Frost and Luke Shackleton were game changers but more so for our opponents

Begs the question
Which Pie player helped the oppostion more than he helped us?
My answer would be Jaxsom Barham
Could get the ball but then drilled it direct to an opposition player every time.
He was the butchers butcher. |

| I recall Brad Smith giving away a free or two before registering any disposal, for a net negative contribution. The CFC website says that was his only game, and he did get a few disposals in that game (2 kicks, 2 handballs). |

Tell em we'll trade them Moore but then send up Cox instead and hopefully they won't notice before the trade gets finalised

i thought we were talking about players who could turn a game by an individual burst of brilliance and be discussed as the "difference between the two sides" fairly routinely.
Anyone who watched Friday's game saw that Eddie Betts was the difference maker (the match winner) when the game was there to be won.
As for Collingwood, we had lost control of the game in the first quarter. Enter the DeGoey who kicks three goals in 4 minutes and perverts the course of the game in our favor....
Arent these, by definition, match winners (just as Daicos was before them).
