Not even 2nd or 3rd place according to some on the main board.Those numbers just scream '2nd place Rising Star' to me!
or 3rd after the Geelong mafia step inThose numbers just scream '2nd place Rising Star' to me!
Pies actually got in at the Boxing Day sale.End of the day Newk and Daicos are both excellent young players and will be stars of the comp for the next ten years.
Determining which has had the better year is a matter of degrees and very subjective.
What is not subjective is that both the Pies and the Hawks have a couple of ripper young players (except ours was picked up at the local Aldi in the stock clearance section whereas Pies paid top dollar at Myer )

Didnt expect that Jai would be leading Daicos for metres gained. That stat is what I thought would define the way Daicos plays - high possession and high run and carry over distance. That is a stat that leans pretty heavily towards Jai along with the fact that in all the categories that Daicos is leading Jai is 2nd or 3rd compared to those that Jai is leading Daicos is behind others - the question is how far behind is Jai on the numbers? Is Daicos head and shoulders clear above him?Jai's Rising Star Season - by the numbers:

Consider the gap opens even more if you control for disposals. Nuke doesn't just gain more ground, he gains more ground per disposal. And that's without the advantage of getting it handed off to him in space off half back to kick long down the line. So much of it is winning the contested ball, breaking away from congestion and driving it inside 50.Didnt expect that Jai would be leading Daicos for metres gained.

Would add Nic Martin to that as well, he and Newcombe being so good pretty much straight away is a great example of how underutilised the state leagues are.End of the day Newk and Daicos are both excellent young players and will be stars of the comp for the next ten years.

All told, Jai is about 4 disposals per game behind.Didnt expect that Jai would be leading Daicos for metres gained.

Would love to see his stats on handballs receives too. Loves a tom Mitchell sneak around the back for a pointless handballDaicos takes a lot of kick ins, so his numbers are inflated

Newcombe was good, Mitchell was key to the comeback and I think he gets the three. However I don’t mind either way. But he was also better than Sicily and Stewart and they got that wrong. Sicily would get 1 vote Brownlow night imo.

Don’t see you disagreeing with the North game however? Jai 3 there imo.
I wouldn’t put it past them especially considering he kicked 2 himself while having 30 (15 contested) and 9 clearances.It might be the midfielders medal but umpires probably won’t overlook a bloke who had 17 disposals and kicked 5.4.
It also literally doesn't matter as he's not in the running to win the Brownlow...I wouldn’t put it past them especially considering he kicked 2 himself while having 30 (15 contested) and 9 clearances.
Although who knows.
Fair but I’d like to see as many votes for him, it’ll show how good a year he’s had in the eyes of the umps. The coaches have already shown there’s as they’re posted weekly.It also literally doesn't matter as he's not in the running to win the Brownlow...
this year.
