Player Watch Nick (AFL MVP) Daicos

[Dead Eye Didak]

LOL....Naicos not in the starting 18. I'm sure the AA selectors like to make it about them and be controversial.
Naicos not in the starting 18, that's a p155 take....!!

Mate, I wasn't saying he was shit

But Nick has set a standard for himself the likes we haven't really seen for a long time.

He spent most of the first half of the season being hard tagged every week and was down on his disposal output. His disposal efficiency also suffered as a result of the hard tag.

He then had an incredible patch after the bye.

Then his form dipped a little again with the teams form dip when we started losing games.

That's why I made the post about having a weird feeling none of our players would make it and thought Nick might still sneak in "becuase he's Nick Daicos"

If he gets in the on the bench, that's basically getting in "because he's Nick Daicos"

If he can only be judged against himself then that’s plainly ridiculous.

What really is happening is that he almost isn’t in the side because he’s Nick Daicos.

Sam Taylor hasn't set the world on fire the past 2 seasons, due to his injuries. Doe's he get in because he plays for the GWS??

It is what it is bro

Not saying I agree with it. Not saying it's ok. It used to happen to Bucks too. Anytime the dude had less than 30 the media used to basically say he was poor lol

 

[danielnajdek]

This happened to Pendles as well. He should’ve had another 2 or 3 AA’s.

 

[nickyds35]

He has been tagged more times this year (15-16 times) then the rest of the All Australian midfield combined.

No surprises when you see the selection panel.

What an absolute joke.

Taylor led the league in intercept possessions and intercept marks. Hard to look past that

 

[TradeDraft]

Shows how ridiculous it is. Nick has two players hanging off him every week, and still gets more possessions than anybody. but Ed Richards had a better year….? The guy has never been tagged. Tells you everything.

Who are the Selectors?

 

[Doc1763]

not a bad bench!!!

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

No surprise Collingwood players get snubbed in these teams.
Not one Collingwood player was selected in the VFL/AFL team of century, despite the legends we have had over the past 130+ years.....

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Yeah, getting in on the bench reeks of token selection but hey, history will still see him as an All-Australian in 2025

No stress Nickolaki

New season starts now. Win the Norm Smith in a Flag and this will disappear into the background

 

[TradeDraft]

This happened to Pendles as well. He should’ve had another 2 or 3 AA’s.

and at least 1 Brownlow

What snub? Nick was named to the bench. It was between him and Richards for the last centre square midfield spot six of one half dozen the other.

you could mount a decent argument that any on the bench could have been in the starting 18, its not tokenism

Lmfao are you serious?

 

[danielnajdek]

Yeah I would’ve rather him not get on the bench so the AA Selectors copped it.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Serious about what?

 

[Scud2]

Eight weeks ago - J Daicos, Moore, Elliott and Sidey would all have been pretty close

 

[gouki88]

Token selection is an outrageous thing to say about the AFLPA MVP

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Prior to our collapse, you could make a case for almost half the AA squad being Collingwood players lol

Nick, Jamie, Moore, Cameron, Frampton, Steele, Josh

Being on the bench is the snub. Considering where he has rated in media awards, the players MVP, and his overall season, particularly his first 17 or so weeks. On the bench is a joke....

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

I understand Bont on the bench, he missed 6 or so weeks...

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

He but once he got going, he never really let up.

I think there was a couple of games he got tagged out?

 

[danielnajdek]

Bont got in on his name. Lets be honest. Pendles didn't get the same luxury when he was at his peak. He got snubbed.

 

[Vicky Park]

Other than Nick, AA selectors have snubbed this year’s premiers. Odd.
