Mega Thread Nick Daicos - Can he be the GTWEB? Part 2

[ShooterMcGavin8]

Bloody hell he got ragdolled tonight.

Bloody hell he got ragdolled tonight.

Yeah, not pretty.

 

[HairyO]

Not sure about Fly.

For me:

5. McCluggage

4-2 (any order). Andrews, Washcroft, Wilmot.

Bailey, Elliot, the Daicos brothers, D.Cameron fighting for the scraps. Zorko and Dunkley huge in the 2nd half after poor 1st halves, so difficult to assess.

J Daicos maybe. So many I50. But Dunkley WAY ahead.

Elliott 4 goals in a losing Prelim is a huge effort.

N Daicos simply nowhere near the best.

 

[Kobe Gryant]

If Ashcroft played the 23 GF, we’d be going for 3 in a row.

Idc.

Pretty hard to disagree there. He makes that margin up, and then some.

Superb footballer.

 

[Elixuh]

He can’t tackle for shit but that aside, he is carrying that entire team.

Look at the age of their players, a lot of them are starting to come off the boil now.

 

[Lunchtime]

Oops..

 

[pieman123]

Thing is if you going to make out he is some sort of god ya cop it when he just runs around by himself looking for easy touches while the opposition is winning the game, did sneak down for a couple of kicks outs. Wouldn’t see Will doing that, too busy kicking match winning goals.

Will literally runs around by himself every week.

 

[Shane Heard]

Probably this one

Kudos for the effort

Jesus..it’s liking watching a ragdoll get tossed aside with minimal effort.

 

[Shane Heard]

Oops..

Could well be one of Ed’s
sons…

Champion. Got to get stronger to stick tackles. He will. Shows how good he is and high expectations are that he gets potted whilst arguably being his teams best player on the night. He's crazily good already and about 5 years away from his peak.

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Great season from Daics, Brownlow favourite and 2 solid finals, enhances his reputation again on the fast track to GOAT status

What a champion

5 years away from his peak?

Interesting to learn that Ablett as a Cat and Judd as an Eagle played no finals at their peak.

Ablett turned 23 the year he was clear BOG in a QF + PF (deciding the latter classic).

Judd turned 22 the year he tore the 2005 finals series apart.

Daicos turns 23 in a few months.

He's had a few decent finals. Yet to really dominate one. There is no guarantee he keeps getting to play in big finals over the next few years. His record is nothing special so far.

Needs to get a lot stronger

Has to be the goal for the summer

Harden up the tackling and get a better don't argue

Would be amazing with Dangerfield as a mentor.

Would be amazing with Dangerfield as a mentor.

Great idea, we can give Danger a 3 year contract no probs

 

[Mr Meow]

As soon as his peak years are finished we will send him on. That'll be when he stops dominating big finals with clear BOG performances. Something he might unlock in Nick.

The answer to the OP is
No.

 

[RUNVS]

N Daicos simply nowhere near the best.

It isn't just Nick Daicos when I say this, but I think the way supercoach and fantasy points are calculated very much make certain players look better than they are.

For instance if a midfielder is in the centre square, gets the ball from the tap and hoofs the ball forward into the forward 50, not aiming at anyone in particular but just hoping for the best (the Luke Parker special) in supercoach points that player gets

1 kick
1 clearance
1 inside 50

and if by chance the ball that goes into the forward 50 results in a goal then you can add

1 goal assist

Now you can say that is a good play by that player, and it might be, but the problem is that through 1 kick that player has somehow gained 4 stats.

Whereas lets say a forward kicks a goal from a mark inside 50, yes they get the mark and the goal onto their stats, but they don't get the same level of compound stats that a lot of midfielders get.

Same with defenders. A strong mark inside defence 50 and then kicking it out of defence is the best play a defender can do, and that play would only warrant 1 mark and 1 rebound 50 on the stats.

 

[demondavey]

Yep...can he be the GOAT.

Nobody is claiming he is the GOAT already.

After 4 seasons he has outperformed any of the modern day champions.

Based on what? Statistics that you think are important?

 

[dmark]

I agree.

Then in 2006 (5th season) Judd was a premiership captain (BnF + League MVP winner) with another elite season + finals series as a midfield beast. Will Nick be playing in big finals next year?

My answer to that is simply No, the cliff says hello

I don’t think he will be playing finals again for a very long time, if again in his career

 

[Fadge]

Pretty much this. When it’s highly contested he isn’t going to bullock his way at the coalface and drag a team on his back like the best of the best.

Except....

His ratio of matchwinning games to games played is higher than every other current player playing the game...

That is very much the luck of the draw with who a player was drafted to.
