Hypothetical - Sam Darcy or Nick Daicos

[stallon]

You said "If i want a premiership I'm taking Darcy everytime", possibly the dumbest comment in the thread so far, given Daics has already played a key role in a flag

This is a stupid comment, would you also take Cal Ah Chee over Darcy too because he played a key role in a flag?

No it's fine to pick Darcy, as long as your reasoning is not stupid

Next time just say "I pick Darcy" and leave it at that

You said "Hes no Ablett/Judd/Bont who puts the team on their back" , so I provided exhibit A, here's exhibit B and I can provide another 20 bud

Should we pull out 'The List' of Daicos Matchwinning performances?

I wonder if any other current player had been a matchwinner in 1 of every 4 games he's played?

I don't recall Ah Chee finishing top 3 in the Brownlow in his flag year

How about you pipe down and let people comment on what they like old mate.

 

[Magma]

traditional logic says take the tall, but i think this comes down to what other parts are in the side. i mean if i was selecting for the crows right now i'd take daicos because we have the forward line already.

Nick Watson ftw

 

[Robertio]

Lol, Cripps regularly goes to pieces at key moments, he's never played a good final, he's nowhere near this conversation

Wrong thread pal.

 

[Robertio]

Wasn't his best final Owen 60?

Wrong thread pal.

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Wrong thread pal.

Just replying to a post pal, we didn't bring his name up

 

[TheUnicorn]

Darcy for me.

Nick Watson has more talent in his pinky finger than the entire playing list of Brisbane's last 4 premiership sides combined.

They are bringing their crap into this thread because the other one is dead.
Not suprised

There are two reasons the other thread is dead.

Reason 1:


Reason 2:


But it was great to see the Blues supporters maintain hope for a full off-season.

I dont recall that being relevant, you specifically mentioned impact in a grand final.

You are trying way too hard here champ

I think the idea is you assume that you are building a side from scratch

 

[Corn Cobbers]

I dont recall that being relevant, you specifically mentioned impact in a grand final.

I specifically said "Daics has already played a key role in a flag"

You are not trying hard enough here champ

Then I replied Ah Chee

Are you lost?

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Ah Chee was 12th in the B & F, I suggest he did not play a key role in that flag like Daics in 2023 who dominated the whole season

 

[LoungeLizard]

Look at you all arguing about which one you would take, you poor buggers.

Collingwood and the Bulldogs have already got one or the other, so suffer in your jocks.

 

[Iamspock]

I understand the point you both are trying to make, however 20 years ago there was no 200cm KPFs and KPDs that had the current levels of athleticism we see either. So it is not out of the question that more KPDs that can 'tag' Darcy will come into the system during his career. In fact, Mac Andrew vs Darcy will be a fun watch for the next ten years if they keep progressing the way they are.

Also worth noting that it is still possible to quell one player's influence forward in today's systems if they are that much more of a threat than the rest of the forward line, simply by double teaming or asking your interceptor/third tall defender to stay closer to him than their own opponent. It can be exploited by the team on the receiving end but it would reduce the KPF output and something we might see against the Dogs more often as Darcy continues to go up a level.

One thing in Darcy's favour in this context is that umps are much hotter on holding free kicks to a KPFs attempting to run for the mark than they are for mids going towards the contest, so as teams may struggle in the future against Darcy's size and skills, get ready for plenty of whistles to come his way.

A fair, well-thought out and reasonable response. What we do know is they will both provide excitement for their teams over many years to come.
