Player Watch Nick Daicos - Can he be the GOAT?

[loki04]

Also....

Jason Akermanis (not sure I ever saw Diesel kick a 55 metre goal from the pocket on his opposite foot... this guy did it for fun).
Simon Black
Sam Mitchell
Scott Pendlebury
NICK DAICOS

To say these guys aren't even close to Diesel is standard Carlton supporter delusion.

Then we have the guys like Ablett Snr, Knights and Blight who had the high marking 'skill' - not sure that was in Diesel's repertoire...

Nathan Buckley.

Given the data is from the last four weeks only, of which Pittonet has played ALL four games, and as a primary ruckman has attended significantly more centre clearances than Daicos, it does say something about Daicos' uniqueness.

Not sure why you expecting a Bagger to understand!

GOATcos in just his 3rd season is now the most impactful stoppage and clearance player in the game.

He already showed how good he is with ball in hand on the outside.

And he is has just ticked over 50 games and still putting size on his small frame.

Gaz Jnr was still a speculative small forward at this point of his career, it wasnt until his sixth season after had already played 100 games, when he had the size, power and endurance to be moved to midfield.

You mean like this one ?View attachment 1987370

That’s as rare as hens teeth for Juddy, he spilt more overhead marks then he took.

 

[Fadge]

fudgey no one is suggesting that Daicos is anything except a very good player- the hyperbole you started with was funny at the beginning - but the carry on frenzy is now just banter. the references are to 5 games played ( huge sample space eh) Pittonet hasn't played 5 games even - and the list included the top 4 players - two of which were Carlton...

it is a rabbit hole of nothing you are going down.

So you've gone from 'Pittonet has only played half the games' to 'the data is from 5 games, and Pittonet hasn't even played 5 games', despite Pittonet having played the last 5 games (the data set from which the statistics have been referenced).

A no contest, the Carlton 3 were bog average VFL level footballers.

Shaz just couldnt get on the park.

Dow and Obrien would have been superstars ...










If only they could hit a target, stop falling over, run both ways, and contribute a bit of pressure whilst playing

I was trying to find one of Nick, but the internet couldn't provide me with any evidence

No guarantee he held that either. It’s a still frame picture after all.

How has this become about Carlton or other club players, where no one has claimed they are in contention to be a GOAT

Surely the kid should be compared to others in the GOAT conversation

Greg Williams is the most skilful player I have ever seen. Second is not even close

It is close. What the hell are you talking about? Ablett Sr and Jr? Wayne Carey? Leigh Matthews? Shaun Burgoyne? Williams was perhaps the best handballer the game has ever seen, but he would not even play in today's game, he'd be running around the VFL picking up 50 touches, the AFL would be too fast for him.

And you know this because....

And you know this because....

Matt Priddis, Matt Crouch, Tom Mitchell are all lightning compared to Williams.

 

[Worm4]

Matt Priddis, Matt Crouch, Tom Mitchell are all lightning compared to Williams.

So the greatest of all time can only apply to players currently in the AFL system. Righteo then....

No one said he ISNT a star ? Who said he wasn't I dare you to find where anyone said he wasn't a star.
Read the thread !! Is about being the GOAT which he isn't. Comprehension isn't your strength really is it ?

Comprehension ok.
Nobody is claiming he is the GOAT, how can he be, he has played just over 50 games (but what a 50 games)
This thread is about can he get to the level where he can be the GOAT.

I say yes he can. So can Harley Reid and also a couple of the other young up and coming stars.

Long way to go obviously but he has the potential to do so, as he has excelled in each area of his development thus far.

If somebody put a thread stating Harley Reid- can he be the GOAT, I wouldn't deny the possibility, as he has obvious star factor qualities but again a long way to go in his career.

As for Nick, he is arguably the best user of the ball in the comp, now he gets CP's and kicks goals.

Tracking beautifully in my opinion.

So again, can Nick (in the future) be the GOAT?

My bloody oath he can.

Sorry.

His career is there to be tracked for the next dozen or so years in his quest to be the GOAT.

I am in agreeance with all three parts of your post.

 

[Worm4]

Sorry.

Its not his quest. It's yours

 

[Fadge]

Its not his quest. It's yours

Not at all.

He's clearly a kid who wants to be the very best footballer he can be, and as his coach says about all his players 'he has no ceiling'...

He’s 3 years into his career of course he isn’t the goat or even in that conversation yet, fadge just getting carried away.

I think Fly suggested he's a future club captain. Can easily see that happening.

(He'll still have that irritating private school accent though...)

So was Diesel to be fair.

I disagree.
Diesel was a typical country tough nut who grew up playing in the bush league.
He always copped it and in turn, he squared the ledger at some point later on down the track. Rarely took a backward step to anyone which was a little unique given his diminutive stature.

 

[beerbandit]

It’s strange how invested Carlton fans are with this Daicos fella.

You beat me to it, unreal.

 

[Worm4]

You beat me to it, unreal.

I know, imagine if someone like Charlie Curnow got a goal from a free kick , so comments from Pies supporters wouldn't be that high would they lol
