Player Watch Nick Daicos - Can he be the GOAT?

[Worm4]

But did you like my 2024 updates?

What round next year do you anticipate updating the CV to confirm that Goaty has taken his first contested mark ?

It's astounding to think he's the best player in the game despite never having a contested mark or a hit-out.

IMAGINE if he can add those strings to his bow...

Newsflash - he ain't the best player in the game.
Stop imagining

Who is if he's not?

Who is if he's not?

Let's looks at the what the history books currently tell us -
Brisbane are the reigning premiers so they are currently the best team
P Cripps is the reigning brownlow medalist so he would be the games best player currently.
Nick gets a shot at the title next year if he is good enough

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Cripps the only player in the comp to finish top 3 in the Brownlow, Coaches Votes and MVP so it would be hard to argue that he wasn't the best player in the game this season.

If I'm picking a player to win a single game for me though I'm taking Bont, Heeney or Cripps in that order. Nicky would be somewhere down the line after a few.

Are you seriously saying Cripps is the best player in the game?

Because if you are:
In Daicos' third year and Cripps' 11th year:

• Daicos beat Cripps in the AFLCA Coaches Award;
• Daicos was runner up to Cripps in the Brownlow Medal;
• Daicos was 4th in the AFLPA MVP, Cripps 2nd.

In Daicos' second year and Cripps' 10th year:

• Daicos was 3rd in the AFLCA Coaches Award, Cripps 20th;
• Daicos was 3rd in the Brownlow Medal, Cripps equal 9th;
• Daicos was 2nd in the AFLPA MVP, Cripps not in the Top 5.

Cripps has received Coaches votes in 1 of 4 finals he has played in that time, whilst Daicos has received Coaches votes in 2 of 2 finals in the same time (returning from what should have been a season ending leg injury).

Daicos averages 1.19 Brownlow votes per game played; Cripps does well and is 4th on the list, averaging 0.92 votes per game. Daicos has 77 Brownlow votes after 3 seasons, it took Cripps 7 seasons to reach 77 Brownlow votes. Cripps was on 90 Brownlow votes after 8 seasons.

You honestly think Cripps is 2024's best player, given the performances Heeney and Neale delivered during the finals series?

Very simple way of looking at stats. Put Daicos in a side that didn't play finals for his first 7 years and see how well he polls. Cripps is the title holder. Don't care if you don't like my opinion - I don't agree with yours.

Was Walsh the best player in the game in 2023 due to his huge finals series?

Daicos first year ?

 

[Fadge]

The implication was that you add the finals performances on top of the home and away performances of the respective players....

 

[Fadge]

Daicos first year ?

He performed much better than Cripps did in his first year - he won the Rising Star.

Cripps' first year? 3 games.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Cripps was the best player across the regular season. Heeney and Neale had better finals series but not as good regular seasons.

Daicos was the best of neither.

Daicos was the best of neither.

As I've stated in another thread, the order of performances in the home and away season were as follows:
1. Heeney
2. Cripps
3. Daicos
4. Bont
5. Neale

With 2 massive finals, Heeney retains his #1 ranking for the full season, and Neale leapfrogs Cripps, Daicos and Bont to jump into 2nd ranking.

Cripps wasn't so far better than Neale than he holds out the Gary Ayres Medallist, and arguably BOG in the Grand Final.

How would you rank the respective FULL season performances?

Daicos not on top, that's all that really matters in relation to this thread

Possibly

So, CarmenSandiego - what were you saying about Nick Daicos in the Carlton / Collingwood thread?

Erm, don't have to go to different threads to dig up my thoughts on Daicos.. they're in this one, multiple times.

I reckon 4 Brownlows with 9-10 AA's. Not even taking the piss.

You need to educate your Carlton supporting brethren.

Who's your GOAT? Was he the best in the league every year from the age of 21?

I'll give you a clue - the answer to question 2 is definitely not.

Daicos has never been the best player in the comp over a season?

You really don't get the concept of the future do you?

Which is strange as your club's trading shows that they only get the concept of the future and don't understand the concept of the present.

Lmao Walsh was meant to be the best player in the comp too after his 2021 season, then he had a bad ankle injury and two serious back injuries.

Nothings guaranteed, just as Nicky is no guarantee to be the best player in the comp next season like he wasn't this year.

What? Are you living in asome crazy Blues thought bubble?
