thats a big call, but enjoy your day
seriously though, I think Lids just showed his potential in a big way today, he was one of the guys who got us in a position to win, and played like an absolute champ.
As for Patto, another gutsy display. Hope he can become a Benny type, but he will need to adapt to the new list when we get Simmo fully fit, another 2nd ruck (possibly), and Gus (assuming his progression continues). Not writing him off, just acknowledging he has a tough road ahead.

Deledio - apart from both being utility style players I think he's a completely different player to Hird. Hird knows where the ball is going before anyone else, I dont see Lids doing that. Lid's will use his athletism rather than instictiveness to be a very good player.
Patto - The Benny comparisons have merit, however Patto is the worst kick in the league (or equal worst with Angus Graham) so even though Benny wasnt the best kick - he was light years ahead of Patto. Patto will be a good defensive contested mark - Benny's specialty.
I reckon Patto has more mongrel than Benny so that's a positive, however I'm not sure he will ever be as good as Benny mainly because the ruck rule changes now suit super tall guys as opposed to when Benny played...
Disagrees.Lids has all the attributes to be very much like Hird.The instictivness will come to the fore with games under his beltmaverick said:
I think his disposal by foot is a tad harsh for a bloke his size.Not saying he,s going to hit the target everytime but a target within 40mtrs he,s capable.What stood out last night was his positioning around the ground.Made himself available as the get out of jail man or link player.maverick said:
Once he starts to hold the one grabbers on a consistant basis he will be very much like Benny.
LOOOOOVED Patto's game....Man this guy works his balls off....he kept running and running and presenting all night and got ignored a fair bit - but it didnt matter cause he kept on going on. I actually dont think he is that bad a kick - very unusual action but around the ground and especially kicking to a guy on the lead is actually very good. Take a closer look at that....also he is smart off the deck which is good for a bloke his size!
As for Deledio/Hird - i reckon he is another class...not a better one - a different one...has the hands and timing of hird and the speed of Judd...this guy is going to be in the top 3-5 players in the league in 3-4yrs - MARK IT DOWN RIGHT NOW!!

Pattison is Benny Gale for sure, and don't forget Benny didn't play AFL football until he was 21.
Patto's body has taken a battering this year. We need to look after him better if we want him to keep developing.
Deledio will star in his own right. Absolutly love this guy!
And hasnt Patto stood up, guttsy kid!
He should be stoked supporters camparing him Benny.
