Because I don't judge based on a stats sheet.So with votes merely being a guide... How could you possibly argue Bontempelli wasn't better in 2023 then? On just about every key statistic he was better than Daicos, despite being in a lesser team.
So who was the best across Home and Away and Finals combined, and why, if it wasn't Daicos?Applying the bolded to last season and we don't come out with Nicki on top.
Wasn't the best across H&A. Wasn't the best across finals. Wasn't the best across the two combined.
Poor Nicki, failing to be the best even when the criteria is set by Fadge with his Fadgorithm.
People can logically assess a season to determine who was the best performed player across a whole season.So you alone decide who is the winner?
We have no real measurement or criteria?

Young Hirdy ..19 to 22…he had this habit of the tap in front with both hands and take the chest mark while stillContested marks were only recorded for about 150 of the games Hird played in, but in those 150 games he took more contested marks in one game about 100 times more than the number of contested marks Nick has taken in 50 games.
Noice oneI used "intersectionality" in a sentence on bigfooty a few months ago. Never been able to use that word outside of university so that was a nice moment for me.
Same as Matt Rowell. What a fascinating share.
What’s the point exactly?
Hird is a better contested mark than Daicos and Rowell? Wowee!
Alan (aka Fadgey) was a 3rds coach.Where's Fadgey ...
'Who is this Alan and how many games of footy did he play to be the purveyor of AFL level hardness?
For mine that’s where the real goat candidates really start to separate themselvesNah ..it’s the fact they don’t take contested marks ..ever. Hird did.
You want lil Nicky to spend his entire career not taking contested marks?
That would be strange indeed…

Great midfielders are dime a dozen but those top tier players also excel at other parts of the game
The very best can virtually play any position to a elite level
I love that the Bombers have just kicked their 3rd goal and you’re in here talking about Nick. We love you for it.Yep…hence Nick will never be a forward ..just a very good rebounding half backer ..like our Nick ..the Hind variety

The Road Runner …who was very very strong over headHe’s not even as close to good as Dane Swan was for a start.
The Road Runner …who was very very strong over head
Yep …like Michael Symons but with elite kicking and handball skillsWith very little going on in his head.

And someone taught him about diet too at the time. Not McGuire…but probably a trained dietitian.Dane Swan was mostly playing VFL at Nick’s age, when he did get a game in the AFL he looked mediocre, didn’t get going until his fifth year. Likewise Ablett was hardly setting the AFL world on fire in his third year. Daicos has things to work on and the GOAT discussion is silly, but what he has done so far in his career is impressive.
