Mega Thread Nick Daicos - Can he be the GTWEB? Part 2

[Fadge]

Oh yeah, because your average people at a cafe would all know those facts. ‘Oh look, there’s Daicos! You know he was 2nd, 3rd and 3rd in the Brownlow?!?’ Said a couple of people who just happen to have the facts you jerk over on their mind.

Is actually 2 x 2nd's and 1 x 3rd.

It’s good that you know this.

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Actions speak louder than words. Blatantly stat padding in the last rounds of 2024 to try and win the Brownlow, crying to the umps every time he gets tagged, almost being in tears when Cripps and Rowell got announced as winners of the Brownlow... The list could go on forever.

If you think he's some sort of humble golden boy then you're more delusional than I gave you credit for.

I’ve never once in footy seen a coach come out and say another player should have won their B&F. Totally bizarre from fly.

Nicky must be having a few coffee catch ups with other coaches making Fly a bit nervous

What’s his contract worth at Collingwood?

like all contracts no one really knows.

AFL fans divided as Collingwood coach floats change after Nick Daicos missed club's top award — Yahoo Sport Australia

Nick Daicos missed out on both the Brownlow Medal and Copeland Trophy in 2025. Find out more here.

Unfortunately Collingwood has become all about Daicos. McCrae has either been following Fadge or just consumes every single media article on him.

Beyond childish and ridiculously petulant to suggest a change is needed because your star didn’t win. Looks even worse when his father walks out at as well. Imagine how much of a pain in the arse Peter would have been at Saturday morning sport? No doubt Daicos is an absolute jet but the coach with his head so far up his arse is not professional.

Yeah this is complete garbage. The B&F has been flawed for years and changing it has nothing to do with Daicos, He didnt win it in the grand final year either cos he missed games at the end when he was leading for most of the year.

As for Peter Daicos walkiing out? this is the most lolworthy clickbait of all time. Tom Morris, the disgraxed licker licence bloke sees someone go home early and decides he goes home because of what Fly said. What? HE had no clue why he went home but of course all the trolls have jumped on blaming Nick.

Nick has said nothing, NOTHING, about the Brownlow B&F and every other made up shit about what he thinks.
Its the media playing to the morons who hate Collingwood for clickbait. Congrats for falling for it

Cracks starting to show with Collingwood. Wouldn't be surprised if he's at another club within the next 3 years.

If the clear Best and Fairest player in the team doesn't win the award comfortably, despite playing every game, the system is broken.

So absolutely, it needs to be reviewed.

It sounds like it is not the voting system that is the problem it is the assistant coaches that vote don't rate him as highly as Fly and yourself. Maybe the the backline coach isn't giving him votes because he doesn't defend?

Fly needs to change the coaches rather than the voting system so Nick wins every year.

It's the voting system - it's unusual. Fight and pressure are criteria that both carry as much weight as impact.

In that case it is very obvious why ND didn't win. Surprising he did as well as he did.

Well Daicos is pretty piss poor on that front

I dont think fight means punching on. Nick works his arse off and doesn't give up. He'd score high on fight. But he'd score low on pressure.

He's young and already won a flag with his childhood club. Nothing really keeping him long term now. I'm sure being the face of a new franchise and earning an obscene amount of money would be very enticing.

Runs hard for a handball receive. Doesn't run back hard to defend or put his body on the line in selfless acts for the team which is what most people think of when it comes to fight.

Who knows what fight means in the Copeland context, but I'd assume it's effort related, especially seeing they've got another voting criteria for pressure.

Single AA Cripps again!

Seeking some analysts who actually watch the game please.

Cripps won something in that timeframe that Daicos never has i believe. Is that right??

So that makes him better than Daicos over the 3 year period 2023 to 2025?

Great analysis.

Lets throw this around considering you are having a sook about Daicos.

What makes him a better individual player than Cripps over this time period??

He has been pretty impressive. Cripps. Just accept differing opinions. Cripps contested ball work has been second to none. Works hard both ways, doesn’t have the skill set of Daicos of course but as a pure contested player running hard and impacting contests he really is superior to most.

You realise you’re talking to someone who is so one eyed about Daicos that they literally can’t engage in a proper discussion?

You're really asking that question?

Really?

I'll give you another chance to reconsider.

Do you REALLY want to ask that question?

Good assessment of Cripps, to which I agree fully.

Buy he has had nowhere near the output of Daicos since the start of 2023, which was my point.
