But Collingwood supporters have spent the last 2-years, and last few weeks in particular, telling us what a joke the award is and how it has no credibility, what with Cripps getting 45 votes and Rowell getting 3-votes for 16-possession games - I've read the Collingwood Brownlow thread...you all think it's a ridiculous joke with no credibility...don't you?
I probably agree, what with Daicos getting votes in a game where he was badly beaten and subbed out in the third quarter.
As a forward Dangerfield averaged 2 goals and 13.5 disposals in finals over his first 4 seasons."Worst top 4 side of the 21st century"
They were going just fine until they met the mighty Pies in the finals
Daics had a blinder along with most of our team
What was Danger's best final in HIS first 4 years?
In his first 7 finals, the 2012 prelim and 2015 semi as a midfielder were better than any Daicos has played so far.

This was more of a reply to the poster that said Martin did nothing in his first 4-years. Other than average 22+ and 1+ across his first 4-seasons....something 1 x player achieved in 2025, and about half a dozen have achieved in any single season in the last 8-years. Martin averaged this across 4 x seasons....his FIRST 4 seasons.
13.5 disposals and 2 goals average over a full season categories a small forward as borderline elite. So achieving that in finals equates to the same.
Averaging 2 coaches votes per final over 4 years (Daicos) is not really borderline elite. It's solid.
It’s bizarre. I really like Nick Daicos, he seems like a good dude. He’s obviously a terrific player and doesn’t seem to have much of an ego.
But it truly seems like everyone around him, whether it’s fans, his own coach, or even his father - are trying to ruin his rep and make him come across as an absolute flog.
Has there ever been a bigger cry baby in the history of professional sport? Having his coach change the voting system to let him win
bahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahhaha. What an absolute embarassment.
First wanting a reward for second in the Brownlow for little Nick and now this.
What sort of sooky sooky la la club, coach, player and Dad are we dealing with here?
Poor kid.

Maybe save any finals fanfare for when he's in the best 2 x players on the ground. Maybe final number 8 will be his time.
If only you and Fadge didn't post loads of comments bemoaning what a joke the Brownlow was just a few short weeks ago - sorry, but we've seen them. So is it a joke like you said many many times, or isn't it?

So he played two finals and kicked 4 goals out of 37, hardly elite
Just admit it, Danger is a peasant compared to the royalty of Daics

Can you show me one of these posts where I said the Brownlow was a joke?
Ummm.....you do realise there's a Brownlow thread on your own board don't you, with literally hundreds of comments talking about lack of credibility, a rort, biased and corruption. But yeah.....let's use it as a tool to anoint Naicos as the Bradman of our sport... ..hahaha.
The thread is still there......

Wouldn't you use the same parameters to evaluate the final's performance of both - rather than using raw stats for one and coaches votes for another?
Or are you simply using stats to manipulate your conclusion?

Yeah, so then to make a legitimite comparison, you'd use the same stat measures to compare the players. Or you'd use things like listed amongst the best. I'm assuming Nick's finals stats would also be "borderline elite" or actually probably just elite in terms of a midfielders stats (a midfielder - not just a forward pocket). Was your boy listed or reported as being BOG in any of these finals? Was he listed in the team's bests in all his finals?
They played different positions. Their stats were always going to wildly vary. 13.5 disposals and 2 goals for a forward pocket is good going nonetheless.
If you assemble disposals, contested possessions, clearances, inside 50s, goals, goal assists and tackles averages for Daicos' 7 finals I'm happy to take a look. Maybe his 0, 0, 0, 3, 4 (pre-adjustment), 5, 0 entries for coaches votes were "unders".
Just keep in mind that Holmes dominated the stats sheet in the 2025 GF but had a poor game. It happens semi regularly with midfielders - a few with Dangerfield over the years for example. Daicos' 2025 prelim also looks good on paper but he didn't have much impact - especially in the 2nd half.
