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

    The actual statement was 'Most Collingwood supporters don't deny Bont is the best at the moment'. Which is quite different to a comment about who has been the 'best performed player between 2023 and 2025'. The players, coaches, umpires and media are unanimous in their views that Daicos has...

    Got to love this. A Saints supporter flexing against a North supporter. I sense a new rivalry brewing...

    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    Have people not realised it's what the AFL does nowadays? Group the likely flag contenders together over the first half a dozen rounds, and at the other end of the spectrum, group the also-rans such as Carlton, North, West Coast, Melbourne and Richmond together to ensure there are some...

    Tell us more about this 'trajectory' thing. Would you rate him higher if he was a lesser player in his first 3 seasons, and only burst onto the scene in 2025 to be the best performed player in the competition?

    Do Carlton need to undertake a list rebuild?

    Be fair, mate. It's all relative. They improved from being a perennial bottom 4 team to spending a few years contending for finals! And there was even a year where they won a final!

    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    What bollocks. Collingwood have still won more games, played in more finals and Grand Finals than any other team since that time. As I said, we had a good run with converting prior to your arbitrary cut off, and a poor run since. That's commonly referred to as 'swings and roundabouts', but...

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

    So a player with 5 x top 4 finishes in the 3 major awards, together with fewer and inferior finals performances, has outperformed a player with 9 x top 4 finishes? And that's just 'for starters'? Who are the others? Edit: Lolol - I've seen your nominations. Any others? Does Daicos squeeze...

    Which one is it? 2026 or 2027? Seems you're having a bit each way...

    So who has performed better than Daicos between 2023 and 2025 inclusive?

    Carlton's finals aspirations for 2026

    And then there are those that buy the narrative that Carlton will be a better team with the three players because they'll be 'more balanced and dynamic'....

    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    Absolutely. Paul Roos said it best when he briefly took over the Melbourne team. You pick your best list each year, and pick your best 23 each week. He doesn't get enough credit for what Melbourne did in 2021, but it was him that set them on the right trajectory.

    Coaches didn't think so. Players didn't think so. One single final where his team was smashed. Sorry. 1. Heeney 2. Neale But Cripps finds the podium in third place.

    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    Thank God we still gave these guys on the list! Imagine if we listened to the Cliffers and delisted them? We'd be in all sorts for the first few games!
