[QUOTE="MotherRucker1, post: 725916, member: 72442"] Dagg has his faults, but every player is assessed on whether or not they can fulfill a certain type of strategy, depending on who the opposition is. Which is why you've seen him feature so much despite the slump in form in recent years. Other players aren't necessarily the best in certain positions, but they get a start because they can bring a talent to the table that is unique to them which can be appropriately utilized against certain styles of footy. That's why I don't get people getting so worked up and defensive over Smith - it's not about him being bad. Nobody is implying he isn't the best. But if you only look introspectively and not at how other teams are going to play then you'll fail. [/QUOTE]
