[Cousin of Daicos]

Their fans make a lot of unwise investments

It’s endlessly hilarious that Carlton supporters blaming injuries for their plight don’t actually realise they’re unintentionally calling their 6 best players sh*t lol

Aaaaallll playing

If you took the equivalent Collingwood players from our injury list out of Carlton right now they’d be getting belted by 70 each week

Dealing in brown paper bags 24/7 gets a bit tricky

I kind of wanted him to take it, but I want Billy to win MOTY more.

Ryan's would have been the greatest of all time.

And the second over Gawn. Even better

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Both extraordinary in year 1. But i tend to agree that Reid is even more extraordinary - he's winning clearances and just shrugging senior mids off and taking speckies. What a player.

Nick’s the consummate professional and has gone from strength to strength since, including that 40 and 3 game against Adelaide, performing throughout the entire 2023 season, finals, and a flag, and now building into a scary 2024 campaign. His trajectory was steep and continuous.

But at 10 rounds into their careers, Harley’s better.

Reid’s 21 and 2 goals tonight were worth more than Daicos’ 32 in round 4, 2022. And he wasn’t stringing them together yet.

Do you think Reid was best on today? I have him behind multiple Eagles.

Nick was consensus best on in R4 2022 for us.

Of course our missing players are premiership champions, whereas theirs are pampered paper tigers. Incomparable.

Is that relevant? I’m comparing the impact of the two players, not comparing each to their own teammates. He will get votes in a team who from 16th or so just embarrassed a top four side.

 

[YouBeauty]

****ing Hawthorn campaigners!

And I’m saying that Nick’s impact was greater. I prefer his incisive ball use, IQ, accumulation & repeat efforts over the (admittedly more eye catching) contested strength and high marking of Reid.

It will be grand when they’re in the same midfield in 2028.

Geez, this is turning into our own version of the "Can Nick be the GOAT" thread on the main board!!

Nick & Reid will be exchanging BOGs for the next 10 years - sit back and enjoy.

Reid was great, but you can't go past 5 goals and marking everything that comes your way.

 

[swoop42]

Hard to believe we were just a kick away from 2 upsets and ending the round in the top 4.

The bloody Hawks finding a way to stick it to us is so like those bastards.

 

[stormskye]

I guess atleast north can take solace in the fact that the win against Gold Coast setup a winning culture.

Their midfield group could have been Reid, JHF, LDU, Sheezel & Wardlaw…

Rankin is taking a bit longer, but I think he'll hit similar heights too. A few wow kids around. It'll be fun to watch.

 

[Doc1763]

the Melbourne board is a thing of beauty!

 

[Jafo]

Since we’re doing Reid vs Nick and personally, I think they’re both going to end their careers in 10 yrs time with many accolades against their names.

But who would you pick- Reid on an upward trajectory or Cousins at his peek?

 

[Vicky Park]

Melbourne’s poor pre-season, the problems with Oliver and Smith, and other rumours about the club which refuse to go away - today’s result is what happens when bad culture and poor choices catch up with you.

They have denied and tried to gloss over their problems, but in truth they have wasted the talent that got them the 2021 flag.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

******* Hawthorn campaigners!

They are just trying to hold up the value of their second round pick they traded to us

 

[Black_White]

Slow down, turbo.

Rewatch the prelim from last year.

You don’t think he’s gone past him this year.
It’s al about the now, not the past.

De Goey was better literally days ago

 

[hellfire]

Jordy has certainly had a slower start to 2024 than we expected. But let’s be real, Reid has had over 20 disposals twice. He has some very impressive moments, and had a fantastic match today, but people are getting a little over-excited. Gone past De Goey? Cmon. He will one day, but certainly not yet.

 

[sr36]

What a weekend of footy. If Port lost today, it could have been one of the greatest

Happy for Port to win. We've got the Hawks 2nd rounder, so we want them to lose and Port haven't got it, they're not going to keep us out of top 4.

 

[3rdMan]

Reid's been fantastic, but we do tend to overrate the first year players that come in physically ready, because it's unexpected. Rowell was a similar situation in his first year. It's then a matter of what they can add to their game, because the usual addition of strength is not as needed.

 

[Chameleon75]

Good to see the port fans rally around Ken after an inspiring victory;

You get no credit for that. None. Zip. Nada

Leave. Now.
