Not Dusty, but agree on Fyfe.I'm biasedbut it's worth pointing out that Dangerfield's finals record is pretty good as well, but it's really his excellent performance over such a long period of time that elevates him above Fyfe and Dusty for mine.
Carlton must have thrashed us last night as they led the all important contested mark stat 10 to 5 ...
its so stupid this gets bandied about but if you ever actually watch the games or try to be good faith you would know that every time Nick is about to take a contested mark his opponent gives away a free kick. Nick was a contested beast last night and trucked so many blues players that were genuinely shirking the contests because they didn't want contact with him.
easy to have 10 tackles when the pies are playing lock it in and sit on the footy for the whole last Q which blues players were more than happy to have happen to them. When the game mattered in the third Walsh, and all the blues mids, just gave up and let Daicos and Pendles flog them.
I can confirm that absolutely none of the bolded is remotely true.
Do you think in a couple of years he'll finally be able to win an aerial contest?
If you were watching, he won a couple of aerial contests last night.
Agreed. They're back to playing a team game, with less passengers. You'd take that any day of the week over Daicos getting 100 coaches votes with insane stats every week, while their midfield actually gets beaten (2024).
His disposal - decision making occasionally, but more often execution - isn't brilliant yet as a midfielder in congestion. It's often scrappy stuff where his team mate ends up with the ball, but it bounces or dribbles around a bit first. So not shocking turnovers, but not as clean and destructive as we saw with Ablett in those situations. His kicking inside 50 hasn't hit that Ablett level of consistent excellence either. Hopefully that arrives as he hits his mid 20s.
With the handballing - a fair bit of it is the modern get the hands high technique - I don't like it as a technique unless really necessary. I think it's sloppy.
Seen it in 2 games already where the losing team had the best player with my impact stats. Collingwood are more rounded. I'm interested to see how good the spread is for each team in each quartile
Obviously not cleanly if his contested marks are still 0. Checking other stats, he hasn't had a single spoil or contested defensive one on one win this year either. So not sure what aerial contests you're talking about.
Hes very rarely marking contests but was in a couple last night. He got a free kick in one and in another he didn't go for the mark and knocked it forwards into the corridor. Both good play from Nick.
Lol now Daicos is so hard players are scared to go near him!
