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

    In 2015, Freo were a low scoring minor premier and Pies were a high scoring avg team who won just 10 games and finished 12th. Anyone surprised that Pies team rating was higher than Freo, or that the Pies had 17 of the best 25 players between Freo and Pies according to Player Ratings? But yes...

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

    Proven to drive outcomes 🤣🤣 It is just tied to scoring, that is the entire premise.of the score equity ratings. Dogs were the highest rated team in 2025,.despite only having expected wins of 13. Carlton were highly rated in 2024, despite only having expected wins of 11. What outcomes do you...

    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    Not you Meowy. Whichever alias this Sherbet character is - Noid, ShereKhan, CDog...all the Richmond "analysts" are the same...they using hindsight to pretend that unrated youth that came good back in 2020 were there for all to see...which is rubbish. As most Pie fans have said - we constantly...

    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    The Tiger fans just go by draft pick. A kid taken with a first round pick is proven talented youth. But a kid taken with a rookie pick or pick 50 is low quality unproven youth.

    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    Richmond fans are just trying to convince themselves that their decision to become rubbish and collect spoons whilst hoping draft picks come good is the "smart" decision.

    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    Tough exercise....are you listing based on output to date or where you see them in 6 years? Back at the start of 2020 you would have been laughed at for claiming the following: J.Noble will be a star who may play 200 AFL games Stephenson will be delisted/retired and not even playing AFL when...

    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    Yep the hindsight hero stuff is comical Games played prior to 2020 added below Quaynor 20yo - 4 games Murphy 20 - 2 games J Daicos 21 - 17 games Noble 23 - 5 games Cameron 24 - 1 game None of these players had shown anything, and most were late speculative type picks. Heading into 2020 the...

    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    They were important experienced veteran players, both Copeland Trophy winners (Pies BnFs) who we moved on from. But instead of collapsing and going bottom four and drafting kids, we decided to bring in mature players and have made finals again. I'd check the source of your figures, Pies list...

    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    The Pies had one of the oldest lists back in 2018-20 and again had / have one of the oldest lists from 2023-26. Teams who are old seem to feature deep in finals. In 4 off-seasons from 2021 to 2024 we added 11 "mature" players (22 and over) who have played finals for us - Lipinski, Frampton...

    Did Zach Merrett come 2nd in the players MVP voting and 3rd in AFLCA player of the year in his 2nd season of football? Did Zach back up his brilliant 2nd season by actually winning AFLCA player of the year in his 3rd season, plus coming 2nd in the Brownlow? Did Zach further confirm his...

    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    It is more important to sell "hope" and project where a club might be in 5 years. Problem being that in 5 years team lists are completely different, and majority of kids are delisted. From the Pies 2021 list of 44 players, only 13 are (less than 30%) are part of the 2026 list. So it is safe...

    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    Correct, after spending a decade getting not much by taking top 10 picks to the draft, they pivoted and decided to trade out high end draft picks in back 2 back drafts to instead attract senior established players... isn't that the opposite of what rebuilding clubs do?? That depends how we go...

    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    Pointy end of the draft is late first round picks and pick 22s? When did the Lions start their successful rebuild? I'd argue post sacking Leppa in 2016. Prior to that they were wasting early picks and trading for duds. But once Fagan came they targeted the correct senior players and have...

    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    I am just saying that being shit and thinking stockpiling top10 picks and waiting for them to all mature into stars isn't a recipe for success. That was Brisbane from 2006-16, multiple failed top10 picks and players wanting out...they weren't building into anything, they were just in the death...
