Player Watch Nick Daicos - Can he be the GOAT?

[WalshistheGOAT]

Season 2023

AFL Coaches - Leading prior to injury
ALL AUS - - Rover
BROWNLOW - Leading prior to injury
PREMIERSHIP -
NORM - 3rd in voting
GARY AYRES - Missed a game due to injury so not relevant
MVP - Assume leading like other 2 main awards prior to injury

Was 2017 Dusty’s 2nd season in the AFL or was it his 8th.

I think by GOATcos’ 8th season he would of fully met your lists criteria probably 3 or 4 times

So he made the All Australian team and was part of a premiership team. I'd expect a bit more from the 'clear best player in the competition'.

You obviously have trouble reading.

He won the Fadgelow medal.
The keep assuming the brownlow was a certainty even though the pies were apparently playing dead rubbers for the last month

It’s strange how invested Carlton fans are with this Daicos fella.

They are still obsessed ! Not sure why Carlton folk are so invested in him as you stated. No other fan base is really in here commenting apart from Carlton.

It has to be jealousy I suppose? No other reason why really ?

Wouldn't be much fun if all the pies supporters in here were circle jerking over their superstar and no one else was here

They haven't had a decent F/S this century

And here we are with a potential GOAT falling right into our lap

Plus his AA brother who no one bothers talking about, a gun in his own right

Throw in Moore and you can see how it hurts

Also need to factor in the fact he wouldn't have been playing at the time had those games not been Preliminary/Grand Finals.

Interesting the comparison is with Martin, as we've seen how quickly his performance drops off when he's not 100% fit...

2018 prelim says hello.

I'm looking forward to see how goatie goes this week. I think he will attract more attention

Good test for him

I'd like to see him head to head with Rankine, two of my faves duking it out

Not sure those 2 have a defensive bone in their bodies

Exactly, perfect match-up!

The main difference is Martin was 26-27 or so when he did this. Daicos is in his third year and Martin was no where near Daicos at similar stage of their careers.

You don't need to factor age into a discussion about being the clear best player in the comp. Sounds like an argument for for clear best player that is in his third year, however. Which rules Martin out, suffer in ya jocks everyone ever associated with Richmond!

40 possessions and about 15 clearances today but even Fox were trying to downplay his game because his disposal efficiency was down from his usual high standards.

Nick can’t win but his team sure can

11 clangers today. It was a good game not a great game

Probably only 3 Brownlow Votes to console himself with

Possibly, thought Pendlebury, Crisp and Rankine were all better

Possibly. All worthy vote getters but Nick was in and under the umpires gaze for the entire game.

 

[Attempted Moustache]

Possibly, thought Pendlebury, Crisp and Rankine were all better

But I agree Nick’s played better games but he was still excellent.

Disposal Efficiency was 59.0%....often ignored this stat. 59.0% efficiency isn't good.

It was a Tom Mitchell type of game

Imagine getting 41 touches, 22 contested, 14 clearances and it just being an ordinary average game.

Titch and Matt Crouch made careers of doing that very thing tbf.

Exactly, Nick is as good as Titch inside, one of the greatest inside players weve seen.

He can also cream a side on the outside as Sam Walsh found out a few weeks ago.
